| | Farook Malik rendition of Surah The Jinn(al-Jinn)
--- |
|---|
| 72:1 | | O Prophet say: "It has been revealed to me that a band of jinns listened to the Qur’an, then returned to their folk and said: ‘We have heard a wonderful Qur’an |
| 72:2 | | which guides to the Right Way. We have believed in it and henceforth shall worship none besides Our Lord |
| 72:3 | | Surely our Lord's Majesty is exalted: He has neither taken a wife nor a son |
| 72:4 | | Some who are foolish among us have been uttering atrocious lies about Allah |
| 72:5 | | and we had presumed that no man or jinn could tell a lie concerning Allah |
| 72:6 | | Indeed, some individuals among mankind used to seek protection with some individuals among the jinns, so they caused such jinns to become more arrogant |
| 72:7 | | as a result, they presumed as you presumed that Allah would not appoint anyone as a Messenger |
| 72:8 | | We searched the heaven, and found it filled with stern guards and shooting stars |
| 72:9 | | Before this we used to find a seat in heaven for eavesdropping, but now eavesdroppers find shooting stars lying in ambush for them |
| 72:10 | | We did not know whether an evil was intended for the dwellers of the earth or whether their Lord intended to guide them |
| 72:11 | | There are some among us who are righteous and some to the contrary; we have sects following different ways |
| 72:12 | | We know that we can neither frustrate Allah in the earth nor frustrate Him by flight |
| 72:13 | | As for us, when we listened to the guidance, we believed in it; so he that believes in his Lord shall have neither the fear of loss nor of injustice |
| 72:14 | | Surely there are some among us who are Muslims and some who are deviators from the truth. Those who have adopted Islam have found the way to salvation |
| 72:15 | | and those who have deviated from the truth will become the fuel for hell." |
| 72:16 | | O Prophet, say: "If they (the Meccans) had steadfastly followed the Right Way, We would have certainly vouchsafed them abundant water |
| 72:17 | | and thereby put them to test. He that gives no heed to the warnings of his Lord, shall be made to undergo severe punishment |
| 72:18 | | Mosques are built for Allah’s worship; therefore, invoke not anyone along with Allah |
| 72:19 | | Yet, when Allah’s servant Muhammad stood up to invoke Him, they (unbelievers) were ready to attack him." |
| 72:20 | | O Prophet, say: "I pray only to my Lord and worship none besides Him." |
| 72:21 | | Say: "I have no control to cause harm or bring you to the Right Way." |
| 72:22 | | Say: "If I were to disobey Him, no one can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge besides Him |
| 72:23 | | My mission is only to deliver what I receive from Allah and make His messages known. As for those who disobey Allah and His Messenger, they shall be put in the fire of hell to live therein forever." |
| 72:24 | | When they shall see the punishment that they are being threatened with, then they shall find out whose helpers are weak and whose supporters are fewer in number |
| 72:25 | | Say: "I do not know whether the punishment that you are threatened with is near or whether my Lord has set for it a distant term |
| 72:26 | | He Alone knows the unseen. He does not reveal His secrets to anyon |
| 72:27 | | except to the Messenger whom He may choose for that purpose, and then He appoints guards, who march before him and behind him |
| 72:28 | | so that He may know that they have indeed delivered the messages of their Lord. He also encompasses all their surroundings and keeps a count of each and everything." |
