| | Muhammad Sarwar rendition of Surah The Jinn(al-Jinn)
--- |
|---|
| 72:1 | | (Muhammad), say, "It has been revealed to me that a party of jinn has listened (to the recitation) of the Quran and has told (their people), "We heard an amazing readin |
| 72:2 | | which guides people to the right path and we believe in it. We shall never consider anyone equal to our Lord |
| 72:3 | | our Lord is too exalted to have either a wife or son |
| 72:4 | | The dimwit one (the devil) among us has been telling confused lies about God |
| 72:5 | | We thought that no man or jinn could ever tell lies about God |
| 72:6 | | "Certain human beings sought refuge with certain jinn and this increased the rebelliousness of those jinn |
| 72:7 | | Those people thought, like you, that God would never send down a Messenger |
| 72:8 | | "We went near the heavens but found it to be full of strong guards and shooting flames |
| 72:9 | | We used to sit near by and try to listen to the heavens, but shooting flames now await those who try to do that |
| 72:10 | | We do not know whether by this arrangement God intends benefit and guidance for the people of the earth or only evil |
| 72:11 | | As for us, some of us are righteous and others are not. We have all followed different ways |
| 72:12 | | We knew that we could never challenge God whether we stayed on earth or fled elsewhere |
| 72:13 | | Now that we have listened to the guidance, we believe in it. Whoever believes in his Lord does not need to fear loss or oppression |
| 72:14 | | Some of us are Muslims and some of us have deviated from the Truth. Whoever has embraced Islam has followed the right guidance |
| 72:15 | | However, the deviators from the Truth will be the fuel for hell" |
| 72:16 | | Had they (jinn and mankind) remained steadfast in their religion (Islam), We would certainly have given them abundant water to drin |
| 72:17 | | as a trial for them. God will make those who disregard the guidance from their Lord suffer increasing torment |
| 72:18 | | All the parts of the body to be placed on the ground during prostration belong to God |
| 72:19 | | Do not prostrate before anyone other than Him. When the servant of God (Muhammad) preached (his message) the jinn would all crowd around him |
| 72:20 | | (Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him" |
| 72:21 | | Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you" |
| 72:22 | | Say, "No one can protect me from God, nor can I find any place of refuge but with him |
| 72:23 | | My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever" |
| 72:24 | | (On the Day of Judgment) when the disbelievers witness that with which they have been threatened, they will then know whose helpers are weaker and fewer in number |
| 72:25 | | (Muhammad), say, "I do not know whether that with which you have been threatened is close by or whether my Lord will prolong the time of its coming |
| 72:26 | | He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses |
| 72:27 | | He causes angelic guards to march before and after him |
| 72:28 | | (Messenger) so that He would know that the Messengers have conveyed the message of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps a precise account of all things" |
