72. THE JINN ( Al Jinn )
|
In
the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
|
1. Say: It is communicated
to me that a party of the jinn heard (the Quran) and said, We have
heard a wonderful Quran.
|
2. It guides to the right
way, so we have believed in it and we will never associate any partner
with our Fosterer. |
3. And Exalted be the Majesty
of our Fosterer, He has not taken a wife or a son.
|
4. And the foolish among
us used to say unjust (things) about Allah. |
5. And we thought that mankind
and jinn never speak a lie against Allah. |
6. And persons from among
human beings used to seek protection of persons from among the jinn so
they increased them in error. |
7. And they (too) thought
as you thought that Allah will never raise anyone (to life after death). |
8. And we searched the sky
but found it filled with strong guards and flames. |
9. And we used to sit in
some of the sitting places thereof to hear, but now whoever hears, he
finds a flame waiting for him. |
10. And we do not know
whether evil is intended for those who are in the earth or their Fosterer
intends (to guide) them to the right way. |
11. And among us are those
who are righteous and among us (are those who are) other than that, we
are sects following different traditions. |
12. And we know that we
can neither defeat Allah in the earth nor can we defeat Him by flight. |
13. And when we heard the
guidance, we believed in it, so whoever believes in his Fosterer, he should
neither fear loss nor error. |
14. And among us are those
who have submitted (as Muslims) and among us are those who are unjust.
So those who have submitted (as Muslims) such have taken to the right
way. |
15. And as for those who
are unjust, they are the fuel for hell. |
16. And if they establish
(themselves) on (the right) tradition We would give them to drink abundant
water |
17. so that We may test
them thereby, and whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Fosterer
He will cause him to enter severe punishment. |
18. And the mosques are
Allah's so do not pray to anyone (else along) with Allah. |
19. And when the servant
of Allah stood up to pray to Him they almost crowded over him. (R 1) |
20. Say, I pray only to
my Fosterer and I do not associate anyone with Him. |
21. Say, I certainly do
not control for you anything, wrong or right.
|
22. Say, None can ever
protect me against Allah and I can never find besides Him, (any source
of) refuge, |
23. (my duty is nothing)
but to convey (the communications) from Allah and His messages, and whoever
disobeys Allah and His messenger, then for such, there is certainly the
fire , of hell, in which they will stay forever. |
24. (The infidels will
not believe) till (the time) when they see that which they are promised,
then they will know who is weaker in helpers and lesser in number.
|
25. Say, I do not know
whether that which you are promised is nearer or whether my Fosterer has
made its (time of happening) far off. |
26. Knower of the unseen,
but He does not reveal His unseen to anyone,
|
27. except to a messenger
whom He chooses, but He makes one who is watchful, to move before him
and behind him, |
28. that He may know (mark
out) that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Fosterer. And
He encompasses all that is with them and He computes the number of everything.
