The Holy Qur'an Surah # 72 "The Jinn, Sprites"

- Verses: 1 to 28 "

Translated by A. Yusefali

 

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful;

 

1 . Say: It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns listened (to the Qur'an). They said, 'We have really heard a wonderful Recital! 

2 . 'It gives guidance to the Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join (in worship) any (gods) with our Lord. 

3 . 'And Exalted is the Majesty of our Lord: He has taken neither a wife nor a son. 

4 . 'There were some foolish ones among us, who used to utter extravagant lies against Allah; 

5 . 'But we do think that no man or spirit should say aught that untrue against Allah. 

6 . 'True, there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the Jinns, but they increased them in folly. 

7 . 'And they (came to) think as ye thought, that Allah would not raise up any one (to Judgment). 

8 . 'And we pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires. 

9 . 'We used, indeed, to sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing; but any who listen now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush. 

10 . 'And we understand not whether ill is intended to those on earth, or whether their Lord (really) intends to guide them to right conduct. 

11 . 'There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary: we follow divergent paths. 

12 . 'But we think that we can by no means frustrate Allah throughout the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight. 

13 . 'And as for us, since we have listened to the Guidance, we have accepted it: and any who believes in his Lord has no fear, either of a short (account) or of any injustice. 

14 . 'Amongst us are some that submit their wills (to Allah), and some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their wills - they have sought out (the path) of right conduct: 

15 . 'But those who swerve,- they are (but) fuel for Hell-fire'- 

16 . (And Allah's Message is): "If they (the Pagans) had (only) remained on the (right) Way, We should certainly have bestowed on them Rain in abundance. 

17 . "That We might try them by that (means). But if any turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty. 

18 . "And the places of worship are for Allah (alone): So invoke not any one along with Allah; 

19 . "Yet when the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd." 

20 . Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)." 

21 . Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct." 

22 . Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him, 

23 . "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever." 

24 . At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers. 

25 . Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term. 

26 . "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,- 

27 . "Except a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him, 

28 . "That He may know that they have (truly) brought and delivered the Messages of their Lord: and He surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and takes account of every single thing."
