| | Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar rendition of Surah The Jinn(al-Jinn)
--- |

| 72:1 | | Say: It was revealed to me that a group of jinn listened to me. They said: Truly, we heard a wondrous Recitation. |
| 72:2 | | It guides to the right judgment, so we believed in it. And we will never ascribe partners with our Lord anyone. |
| 72:3 | | Truly, He, exalted be the grandeur of our Lord. He took no companion (f) to Himself, nor a son, |
| 72:4 | | and yet a foolish one among us had been saying an outrageous lie about God! |
| 72:5 | | But we, truly, thought that the humankind, nor the jinn would ever say a lie about God |
| 72:6 | | and that there had been men of humankind who would take refuge with the masculine of the jinn, but they increased them in vileness. |
| 72:7 | | And they thought as you thought, that God will never raise up anyone. |
| 72:8 | | And we stretched towards the heaven. Then, we found it was filled with stern guards and burning flames. |
| 72:9 | | And we had been sitting in positions having the ability to hear. But whoever listens now will find a burning flame and watchers for him. |
| 72:10 | | And we were not informed whether the worst was intended for those who are on earth or whether their Lord intended for them right mindedness. |
| 72:11 | | There are among us, the ones in accord with morality. And there are among us other than that. We had been of ways differing from one another. |
| 72:12 | | And we, truly, thought that we will never be able to weaken God on the earth and we will never weaken Him by flight. |
| 72:13 | | So, truly, when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord, he will fear neither meagerness nor vileness. |
| 72:14 | | And, truly, we are the ones who submit to God. Among us there are the ones who swerve from justice. And whoever submitted to God, then, those sought right mindedness. |
| 72:15 | | As for the ones who swerve from justice, they had been as firewood for hell. |
| 72:16 | | If they went straight on the way, We would have satiated them with copious water |
| 72:17 | | so that We try them in it. But whoever turns aside from the Remembrance of his Lord, He will dispatch him to a rigorous punishment. |
| 72:18 | | Truly, the places of prostration belong to God so call not to anyone with God. |
| 72:19 | | And, truly, when the servant of God stood up, calling to Him, they be about to swarm upon him. |
| 72:20 | | Say: Truly, I call only to my Lord, and I ascribe not as partners with Him anyone. |
| 72:21 | | Say: Truly, I possess not the power to hurt nor to bring right mindedness for you. |
| 72:22 | | Say: Truly, none would grant me protection from God—not anyone! And I will never find other than Him that which is a haven |
| 72:23 | | unless I be delivering messages from God, His messages. And whoever disobeys God and His Messenger, then, for him is the fire of hell, ones who will dwell in it forever, eternally. |
| 72:24 | | Until when they saw what they are promised, then, they will know who is weaker of ones who help and fewer in number. |
| 72:25 | | Say: I am not informed if what you are promised is near, or if my Lord will assign for it a space of time. |
| 72:26 | | He is The One Who Knows of the unseen! And He discloses not the unseen to anyone, |
| 72:27 | | but a Messenger with whom He was content. Then, truly, He dispatches in advance of him and from behind him, watchers |
| 72:28 | | that He know that they expressed the messages of their Lord. He enclosed whatever is with them and He counted everything with numbers. |
