72:2  "Guiding to the right way. So we believe in it, and we will not join any one with our Lord (in worship)

72:3  "And that He, exalted be the majesty of our Lord, has not taken a consort, nor a son

72:4  "The foolish amongst us used to invent extravagant things against Allah

72:5  "And lo! We thought (or think) that men and jinn did not (or ought not to) utter a lie against Allah

72:6  "And, indeed, persons from among men used to seek refuge with persons from among jinn, so they increased them in wrongdoing (or folly or revolt)

72:7  "And they thought as you think, that Allah would not raise anyone (to be judged)

72:8  "And we sought to reach heaven, but we found it filled with strong guards and flaming fires (or meteors)

72:9  "And we used to sit in some high hidden places therein to steal a hearing, but he who would try to listen now would find a flame lying in wait for him

72:10  "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 some of us are righteous and others of us are far from that: we are sects following different ways

72:12  "But we know that we cannot escape (or frustrate) Allah in the earth, nor can we escape (or frustrate) Him by flight

72:13  "And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it (or accepted it); whoever believes in his Lord, he neither fears loss nor oppression (injustice or disgrace)

72:14  "Some of us are those who have Surrendered (to Allah), and some of us are deviators. Those who have Surrender have surely taken the right path purposefully

72:15  "As for the deviators, they are the fuel of Hell:"

72:16  If they should keep to the right way, We would certainly give them to drink of abundant water

72:17  "So that We might test them therewith. And whoever turns aside from the remembrance of his Lord, He will afflict him with a severe penalty

72:18  The places of worship are only Allah´s, therefore call not upon any one along with Allah

72:19  And yet when the servant of Allah stood up in prayer to Him, they crowded almost stifling him

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 refug

72:23  72:23."Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger surely he shall have the fire of Hell to abide therein for ever

72:24  Until when they see what they are promised, then shall they know who it is that is weaker in helpers and fewer in number

72:25  Say, "I do not know whether that which you are promised be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term

72:26  He is the Knower of the unseen! And He reveals unto none His secrets

72:27  Except messengers whom He has chosen; and then He makes a guard to go before him and after him

72:28  So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses what is with them and He keeps count of all things
