| | Wahiduddin Khan rendition of Surah The Jinn(al-Jinn)
--- |
|---|
| 72:1 | | Say, It has been revealed to me that a band of the jinn listened [to the Quran] and they said, We have heard a really wonderful recital |
| 72:2 | | which guides to the right path; so we have believed in it and we will not associate anyone with our Lor |
| 72:3 | | and exalted is the majesty of our LordHe has taken neither a wife nor a son |
| 72:4 | | And [now we know] that the foolish among us have been saying outrageous things about God |
| 72:5 | | We had supposed that men and jinn would never utter a lie against God |
| 72:6 | | Some men used to seek refuge with the jinn in the past, but that only increased their insolence |
| 72:7 | | They thought, as you did, that God would never raise up anyone from the dead |
| 72:8 | | We sought to reach heaven, but found it filled with strong guards and flame |
| 72:9 | | we used to take up a position to listen, but whoever listens now finds a flaming fire lying in wait for hi |
| 72:10 | | we cannot tell if this bodes evil to those who dwell on earth or whether their Lord intends to guide them |
| 72:11 | | Some of us are righteous, while others are not; we follow divergent paths |
| 72:12 | | We have realized that we could never thwart God on earth and that we would never be able to thwart Him by flight |
| 72:13 | | When we heard the call to guidance, we believed in it. He who believes in his Lord has no fear of loss or of injustice |
| 72:14 | | Some of us are obedient while others are wrongdoers; it is the obedient who have found the right path |
| 72:15 | | but those who are wrongdoers will become the fuel of Hell |
| 72:16 | | If they had followed the right path, We would have provided them with abundant rai |
| 72:17 | | so that We may test them by itwhoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord shall be sternly punished |
| 72:18 | | The mosques are for God's worship so do not invoke anyone else along with Go |
| 72:19 | | when God's servant stood up to pray to Him, they pressed close to him in great numbers, almost stifling him |
| 72:20 | | Say, I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him |
| 72:21 | | Say, It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good |
| 72:22 | | Say, Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge |
| 72:23 | | My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages. For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever |
| 72:24 | | When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers |
| 72:25 | | Say, I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day |
| 72:26 | | He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none |
| 72:27 | | except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them |
| 72:28 | | so that He may know that the messengers have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things |
