72 The Jinn -Al-Jinn
In the Name of Allah, the
Merciful, the Most Merciful
[72.1] Say: 'It is revealed to me that a party of jinn
listened then said: "We have indeed heard a wonderful Koran,
[72.2] that guides to the Right Path. We believe in it
and we will not associate anyone with our Lord.
[72.3] He exalted be the Majesty of our Lord, who has
neither taken to Himself a wife, nor a son!
[72.4] The ignorant fool among us has spoken
outrageously against Allah,
[72.5] we never thought that either human or jinn would
ever tell a lie against Allah!" '
[72.6] But there were certain men from mankind who would
take refuge with certain males from the jinn and they increased them in
tyranny.
[72.7] Like you, they thought that Allah would never
raise the dead.
[72.8] (The jinn continued saying): "We made our
way towards heaven, but we found it filled with stern guards and a flame.
[72.9] There, we would sit to eavesdrop, but now an
eavesdropper finds a flame in wait for him.
[72.10] And so we do not know whether evil is intended
for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends to guide them.
[72.11] Some of us are righteous, but some are
otherwise, we are sects that differ.
[72.
12] We know that we cannot frustrate Allah in
the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight.
[72.13] When we heard the Guidance, we believed in it,
and whosoever believes in his Lord shall fear neither shortage nor injustice.
[72.14] Some of us have surrendered (Muslims) and some
of us have deviated. Those who surrendered sought the Right Path,
[72.15] but those who have deviated shall become the
fuel of Gehenna (Hell).
[72.16] If they had followed the Path We would give to
them abundant water to drink,
[72.17] and tested them with it. And whosoever turns
away from his Lord's Remembrance, He will hurl him into a stern punishment.
[72.18] Mosques belong to Allah, so do not call to
anyone else, other than Allah.
[72.19] When the worshiper of Allah stood supplicating
to Him, they swarmed around him (Prophet Muhammad).
[72.20] Say: 'I supplicate only to my Lord and I do not
associate any with Him. '
[72.21] Say: 'Indeed, I possess no power over you,
either for harm or for guidance. '
[72.
22] Say: 'None shall protect me from Allah,
and other than Him, I will find no refuge,
[72.23] except a deliverance from Allah and His
Messages. He who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for him is the Fire of
Gehenna, which he will be in for ever.
[72.24] When they see that which they were promised they
shall know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers.
[72.25] Say: 'I do not know whether that which you are
promised is near, or whether my Lord will set for it a time.
[72.26] He is the Knower of the Unseen and does not
disclose His Unseen to anyone,
[72.27] except only to a Messenger that He has chosen,
and He sends guardians before him and behind him,
[72.28] so that He may know that they have delivered the
Messages of their Lord and He encompasses all that is with them, and He has
counted everything in numbers. '
