الجن

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Say (O Muhammad): It is revealed unto me that a company of the Jinn gave ear, and they said: Lo! we have heard a marvellous Qur'an,

1 Qul oohiya ilayya annahu istamaAAa nafarun mina aljinni faqaloo inna samiAAna quranan AAajaban

2 Which guideth unto righteousness, so we believe in it and we ascribe no partner unto our Lord.

2 Yahdee ila alrrushdi faamanna bihi walan nushrika birabbina ahadan

3 And (we believe) that He - exalted be the glory of our Lord! - hath taken neither wife nor son,

3 Waannahu taAAala jaddu rabbina ma ittakhatha sahibatan wala waladan

4 And that the foolish one among us used to speak concerning Allah an atrocious lie.

4 Waannahu kana yaqoolu safeehuna AAala Allahi shatatan

5 And lo! we had supposed that humankind and jinn would not speak a lie concerning Allah -

5 Waanna thananna an lan taqoola alinsu waaljinnu AAala Allahi kathiban

6 And indeed (O Muhammad) individuals of humankind used to invoke the protection of individuals of the jinn, so that they increased them in revolt against Allah);

6 Waannahu kana rijalun mina alinsi yaAAoothoona birijalin mina aljinni fazadoohum rahaqan

7 And indeed they supposed, even as ye suppose, that Allah would not raise anyone (from the dead) -

7 Waannahum thannoo kama thanantum an lan yabAAatha Allahu ahadan

8 And (the Jinn who had listened to the Qur'an said): We had sought the heaven but had found it filled with strong warders and meteors.

8 Waanna lamasna alssamaa fawajadnaha muliat harasan shadeedan washuhuban

9 And we used to sit on places (high) therein to listen. But he who listeneth now findeth a flame in wait for him;

9 Waanna kunna naqAAudu minha maqaAAida lilssamAAi faman yastamiAAi alana yajid lahu shihaban rasadan

10 And we know not whether harm is boded unto all who are in the earth, or whether their Lord intendeth guidance for them.

10 Waanna la nadree asharrun oreeda biman fee alardi am arada bihim rabbuhum rashadan

11 And among us there are righteous folk and among us there are far from that. We are sects having different rules.

11 Waanna minna alssalihoona waminna doona thalika kunna taraiqa qidadan

12 And we know that we cannot escape from Allah in the earth, nor can we escape by flight.

12 Wanna thananna an lan nuAAjiza Allaha fee alardi walan nuAAjizahu haraban

13 And when we heard the guidance, we believed therein, and whoso believeth in his Lord, he feareth neither loss nor oppression.

13 Waanna lamma samiAAna alhuda amanna bihi faman yumin birabbihi fala yakhafu bakhsan wala rahaqan

14 And there are among us some who have surrendered (to Allah) and there are among us some who are unjust. And whoso hath surrendered to Allah, such have taken the right path purposefully.

14 Waanna minna almuslimoona waminna alqasitoona faman aslama faolaika taharraw rashadan

15 And as for those who are unjust, they are firewood for hell.

15 Waama alqasitoona fakanoo lijahannama hataban

16 If they (the idolaters) tread the right path, We shall give them to drink of water in abundance

16 Waallawi istaqamoo AAala alttareeqati laasqaynahum maan ghadaqan

17 That We may test them thereby, and whoso turneth away from the remembrance of his Lord; He will thrust him into ever - growing torment.

17 Linaftinahum feehi waman yuAArid AAan thikri rabbihi yaslukhu AAathaban saAAadan

18 And the places of worship are only for Allah, so pray not unto anyone along with Allah.

18 Waanna almasajida lillahi fala tadAAoo maAAa Allahi ahadan

19 And when the slave of Allah stood up in prayer to Him, they crowded on him, almost stifling.

19 Waannahu lamma qama AAabdu Allahi yadAAoohu kadoo yakoonoona AAalayhi libadan

20 Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner.

20 Qul innama adAAoo rabbee wala oshriku bihi ahadan

21 Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you.

21 Qul innee la amliku lakum darran wala rashadan

22 Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him

22 Qul innee lan yujeeranee mina Allahi ahadun walan ajida min doonihi multahadan

23 (Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell for ever.

23 Illa balaghan mina Allahi warisalatihi waman yaAAsi Allaha warasoolahu fainna lahu nara jahannama khalideena feeha abadan

24 Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude.

24 Hatta itha raaw ma yooAAadoona fasayaAAlamoona man adAAafu nasiran waaqallu AAadadan

25 Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it.

25 Qul in adree aqareebun ma tooAAadoona am yajAAalu lahu rabbee amadan

26 (He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret,

26 AAalimu alghaybi fala yuthhiru AAala ghaybihi ahadan

27 Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him

27 Illa mani irtada min rasoolin fainnahu yasluku min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi rasadan

28 That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things.

28 LiyaAAlama an qad ablaghoo risalati rabbihim waahata bima ladayhim waahsa kulla shayin AAadadan
