| | Shakir rendition of Surah The Jinn(al-Jinn)
--- |
|---|
| 72:1 | | Say: It has been revealed to me that a party of the jinn listened, and they said: Surely we have heard a wonderful Quran |
| 72:2 | | Guiding to the right way, so we believe in it, and we will not set up any one with our Lord |
| 72:3 | | And that He-- exalted be the majesty of our Lord-- has not taken a consort, nor a son |
| 72:4 | | And that the foolish amongst us used to forge extravagant things against Allah |
| 72:5 | | And that we thought that men and jinn did not utter a lie against Allah |
| 72:6 | | And that persons from among men used to seek refuge with persons from among jinn, so they increased them in wrongdoing |
| 72:7 | | And that they thought as you think, that Allah would not raise anyone |
| 72:8 | | And that we sought to reach heaven, but we found it filled with strong guards and flaming stars |
| 72:9 | | And that we used to sit in some of the sitting-places thereof to steal a hearing, but he who would (try to) listen now would find a flame lying in wait for him |
| 72:10 | | And that we know not whether evil is meant for those who are on earth or whether their Lord means to bring them good |
| 72:11 | | And that some of us are good and others of us are below that: we are sects following different ways |
| 72:12 | | And that we know that we cannot escape Allah in the earth, nor can we escape Him by flight |
| 72:13 | | And that when we heard the guidance, we believed in it; so whoever believes in his Lord, he should neither fear loss nor being overtaken (by disgrace) |
| 72:14 | | And that some of us are those who submit, and some of us are the deviators; so whoever submits, these aim at the right way |
| 72:15 | | And as to the deviators, they are fuel of hell |
| 72:16 | | And that if they should keep to the (right) way, We would certainly give them to drink of abundant water |
| 72:17 | | So that We might try them with respect to it; and whoever turns aside from the reminder of his Lord, He will make him enter into an afflicting chastisement |
| 72:18 | | And that the mosques are Allah's, therefore call not upon any one with Allah |
| 72:19 | | And that when the servant of Allah stood up calling upon Him, they wellnigh crowded him (to death) |
| 72:20 | | Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him |
| 72:21 | | Say: I do not control for you evil or good |
| 72:22 | | Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge |
| 72:23 | | (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time |
| 72:24 | | Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number |
| 72:25 | | Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term |
| 72:26 | | The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any |
| 72:27 | | Except to him whom He chooses as a messenger; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him |
| 72:28 | | So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things |
