72 - Surah Al-Jinn الجن

Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur'an.

qul ūḥiya ilayya annahu is'tamaʿa nafarun mina l-jini faqālū innā samiʿ'nā qur'ānan ʿajaban

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.

yahdī ilā l-rush'di faāmannā bihi walan nush'rika birabbinā aḥadan

And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son

wa-annahu taʿālā jaddu rabbinā mā ittakhadha ṣāḥibatan walā waladan

And that our foolish one has been saying about Allah an excessive transgression.

wa-annahu kāna yaqūlu safīhunā ʿalā l-lahi shaṭaṭan

And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie.

wa-annā ẓanannā an lan taqūla l-insu wal-jinu ʿalā l-lahi kadhiban

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.

wa-annahu kāna rijālun mina l-insi yaʿūdhūna birijālin mina l-jini fazādūhum rahaqan

And they had thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone [as a messenger].

wa-annahum ẓannū kamā ẓanantum an lan yabʿatha l-lahu aḥadan

And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.

wa-annā lamasnā l-samāa fawajadnāhā muli-at ḥarasan shadīdan washuhuban

And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.

wa-annā kunnā naqʿudu min'hā maqāʿida lilssamʿi faman yastamiʿi l-āna yajid lahu shihāban raṣadan

And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.

wa-annā lā nadrī asharrun urīda biman fī l-arḍi am arāda bihim rabbuhum rashadan

And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways.

wa-annā minnā l-ṣāliḥūna waminnā dūna dhālika kunnā ṭarāiqa qidadan

And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allah upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.

wa-annā ẓanannā an lan nuʿ'jiza l-laha fī l-arḍi walan nuʿ'jizahu haraban

And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.

wa-annā lammā samiʿ'nā l-hudā āmannā bihi faman yu'min birabbihi falā yakhāfu bakhsan walā rahaqan

And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allah], and among us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course.

wa-annā minnā l-mus'limūna waminnā l-qāsiṭūna faman aslama fa-ulāika taḥarraw rashadan

But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'

wa-ammā l-qāsiṭūna fakānū lijahannama ḥaṭaban

And [Allah revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant provision

wa-allawi is'taqāmū ʿalā l-ṭarīqati la-asqaynāhum māan ghadaqan

So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment.

linaftinahum fīhi waman yuʿ'riḍ ʿan dhik'ri rabbihi yasluk'hu ʿadhāban ṣaʿadan

And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.

wa-anna l-masājida lillahi falā tadʿū maʿa l-lahi aḥadan

And that when the Servant of Allah stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."

wa-annahu lammā qāma ʿabdu l-lahi yadʿūhu kādū yakūnūna ʿalayhi libadan

Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone."

qul innamā adʿū rabbī walā ush'riku bihi aḥadan

Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."

qul innī lā amliku lakum ḍarran walā rashadan

Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge.

qul innī lan yujīranī mina l-lahi aḥadun walan ajida min dūnihi mul'taḥadan

But [I have for you] only notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.

illā balāghan mina l-lahi warisālātihi waman yaʿṣi l-laha warasūlahu fa-inna lahu nāra jahannama khālidīna fīhā abadan

[The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number.

ḥattā idhā ra-aw mā yūʿadūna fasayaʿlamūna man aḍʿafu nāṣiran wa-aqallu ʿadadan

Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period."

qul in adrī aqarībun mā tūʿadūna am yajʿalu lahu rabbī amadan

[He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone

ʿālimu l-ghaybi falā yuẓ'hiru ʿalā ghaybihi aḥadan

Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers

illā mani ir'taḍā min rasūlin fa-innahu yasluku min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi raṣadan

That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number.

liyaʿlama an qad ablaghū risālāti rabbihim wa-aḥāṭa bimā ladayhim wa-aḥṣā kulla shayin ʿadadan
