    1

    بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا

    Say: 'It is revealed to me that a party of jinn listened then said: "We have indeed heard a wonderful Koran,

    2

    يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا

    that guides to the Right Path. We believe in it and we will not associate anyone with our Lord.

  • 72:3
    3

    وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا

    He exalted be the Majesty of our Lord, who has neither taken to Himself a wife, nor a son!

  • 72:4
    4

    وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا

    The ignorant fool among us has spoken outrageously against Allah,

  • 72:5
    5

    وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ تَقُولَ الْإِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا

    we never thought that either human or jinn would ever tell a lie against Allah!'

  • 72:6
    6

    وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا

    But there were certain men from mankind who would take refuge with certain males from the jinn and they increased them in tyranny.

  • 72:7
    7

    وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ لَنْ يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا

    Like you, they thought that Allah would never raise the dead.

  • 72:8
    8

    وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَاءَ فَوَجَدْنَاهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا

    (The jinn continued saying): "We made our way towards heaven, but we found it filled with stern guards and a flame.

  • 72:9
    9

    وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَنْ يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَصَدًا

    There, we would sit to eavesdrop, but now an eavesdropper finds a flame in wait for him.

  • 72:10
    10

    وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِي أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا

    And so we do not know whether evil is intended for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends to guide them.

  • 72:11
    11

    وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا

    Some of us are righteous, but some are otherwise, we are sects that differ.

  • 72:12
    12

    وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ نُعْجِزَ اللَّهَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَنْ نُعْجِزَهُ هَرَبًا

    We know that we cannot frustrate Allah in the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight.

  • 72:13
    13

    وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدَىٰ آمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ فَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِرَبِّهِ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا

    When we heard the Guidance, we believed in it, and whosoever believes in his Lord shall fear neither shortage nor injustice.

  • 72:14
    14

    وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ ۖ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا

    Some of us have surrendered (Muslims) and some of us have deviated. Those who surrendered sought the Right Path,

  • 72:15
    15

    وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا

    but those who have deviated shall become the fuel of Gehenna (Hell).

  • 72:16
    16

    وَأَنْ لَوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُمْ مَاءً غَدَقًا

    If they had followed the Path We would give to them abundant water to drink,

  • 72:17
    17

    لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يُعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا

    and tested them with it. And whosoever turns away from his Lord's Remembrance, He will hurl him into a stern punishment.

    18

    وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا

    Mosques belong to Allah, so do not call to anyone else, other than Allah.

  • 72:19
    19

    وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا

    When the worshiper of Allah stood supplicating to Him, they swarmed around him (Prophet Muhammad).

  • 72:20
    20

    قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَدْعُو رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا

  • 72:23
    23

    إِلَّا بَلَاغًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسَالَاتِهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا

    except a deliverance from Allah and His Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna, which he will be in for ever.

  • 72:24
    24

    حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا

    When they see that which they were promised they shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers.

    28

    لِيَعْلَمَ أَنْ قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا
