Al-Jinn ("The Jinn")

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Compassionate.

(72:1) Say: "I (was) led to believe that he was listened to by a few chosen Geniuses, saying: " Indeed, we have heard a wonderfully constructed (scripture),

(72:2) "It guides to what is correct, so we acknowledged it, and we will not set up anyone with our Lord."

(72:3) "Exalted is the majesty of our Lord, He has not taken a wife nor a son."

(72:4) "It was the foolish one amongst us who used to say lies about God."

(72:5) "We had thought that neither people nor the Jinn would ever utter a lie against God."

(72:6) "There were men from among people who used to seek help from the men among the Jinn, but they only helped increase them in sin."

(72:7) "They thought as you thought, that God would not send anyone."

(72:8) "We touched the heavens, but found it full of powerful guards and projectiles."

(72:9) "We used to sit in it in places of listening, but anyone who sits now finds a projectile seeking him."

(72:10) "We do not know, is it bad that is intended for those on earth, or does their Lord want them to be guided?"

(72:11) "Among us are those who are good doers, and some of us are opposite to that, we are in many paths."

(72:12) "We acknowledge that we cannot escape God on earth, nor can we escape Him if we run."

(72:13) "When we heard the guidance, we acknowledged it. So whoever acknowledges his Lord, then he will not fear a decrease in reward, nor a burdensome punishment."

(72:14) "Among us are those who peacefully surrendered, and among us are the compromisers. As for those who have peacefully surrendered, they have sought what is correct."

(72:15) As for the compromisers, they are firewood for hell.

(72:16) Had they walked on the right path, We would have provided them with abundant water.

(72:17) To test them with it. Whosoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will enter him a severe retribution.

(72:18) The temples are for God, so do not call on anyone with God.

(72:19) When God's servant stood up to call on Him, they nearly banded to oppose him.

(72:20) Say, "I only call on my Lord, and I do not associate anyone with Him."

(72:21) Say, "I have no power to cause you harm nor to show you what is right."

(72:22) Say, "No one can protect me from God, and I will not find any refuge except with Him."

(72:23) It is but an announcement from God, and His messages. Whosoever disobeys God and His messenger, then he will have the fire of hell to dwell eternally therein.

(72:24) Until they see what they are promised, then they will know who has the weakest ally and is least in number.

(72:25) Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near, or if my Lord will make it distant."

(72:26) The knower of the unseen, He does not reveal His knowledge to anyone.

(72:27) Except to whom He has accepted as a messenger; then he leads way in its present and future as a secret observer.

(72:28) So that He knows that they have delivered the messages of their Lord, and He surrounds all that is with them, and He has counted everything in numbers.
