| 72:1 | | Say, 'I have been inspired that there listened a company of the ginn, and they said, "We have heard a marvellous Qur'a |
| 72:2 | | that guides to the right direction; and we believe therein, and we join no one with our Lord |
| 72:3 | | for, verily, He - may the majesty of our Lord be exalted!- has taken to Himself neither consort nor son |
| 72:4 | | '"And, verily, a fool among us spake against God wide of the mark |
| 72:5 | | "'And we thought that men and ginn would never speak a lie against God |
| 72:6 | | "'And there are persons amongst men who seek for refuge with persons amongst the ginn; but they increase them in their perverseness |
| 72:7 | | And they thought, as ye thought, that God would not raise up any one from the dead |
| 72:8 | | "'But we touched the heavens and found them filled with a mighty guard and shooting-stars |
| 72:9 | | and we did sit in certain seats thereof to listen; but whoso of us listens now finds a shooting-star for him on guard |
| 72:10 | | '"And, verily, we know not whether evil be meant for those who are in the earth, or if their Lord means right by them |
| 72:11 | | '"And of us are some who are pious, and of us are some who are otherwise: we are in separate bands |
| 72:12 | | '"And we thought that we could not frustrate God in the earth, and could not frustrate Him by flight |
| 72:13 | | "But, verily, when we heard the guidance we believed therein, and he who believes in his Lord shall fear neither diminution nor loss |
| 72:14 | | '"And, verily, of us are some who are Muslims, and of us some are trespassers; but those of us who are Muslims they strive after right direction |
| 72:15 | | and as for the trespassers they are fuel for hell." |
| 72:16 | | And if they will go right upon the way, we will irrigate them with copious wate |
| 72:17 | | to try them thereby; and whoso turns from the remembrance of his Lord He will drive him to severe torment |
| 72:18 | | And (say) that the mosques are God's, and that ye should not call on any one with God |
| 72:19 | | and that when God's servant stood up to pray they called out to him and well-nigh crowded upon him |
| 72:20 | | Say, 'I only call upon my Lord, and I join no one with Him. |
| 72:21 | | Say, 'Verily, I cannot control for you either harm, or right direction. |
| 72:22 | | Say, 'Verily, as for me none can protect me against God, nor do I find any refuge beside Him, |
| 72:23 | | except delivering the message from God and His errands: and whoso rebels against God and His Apostle, verily, for him is the fire of hell for them to dwell therein for ever and for aye! |
| 72:24 | | Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they surely know who is most weak at helping and fewest in numbers |
| 72:25 | | Say, 'I know not if what ye are threatened with be nigh, or if my Lord will set for it a term |
| 72:26 | | He knows the unseen, and He lets no one know His unseen |
| 72:27 | | save such apostle as He is well pleased with: for, verily, He sends marching before him and behind him a guard! |
| 72:28 | | That He may know that they have delivered the errands of their Lord, for He compasses what they have, and reckons everything by number |
