Al Jinn

Shakir

1 Say: It has been revealed to me that a party of the jinn listened, and they said: Surely we have heard a wonderful Quran,

Shakir

2 Guiding to the right way, so we believe in it, and we will not set up any one with our Lord:

Shakir

3 And that He - - exalted be the majesty of our Lord - - has not taken a consort, nor a son:

Shakir

4 And that the foolish amongst us used to forge extravagant things against Allah:

Shakir

5 And that we thought that men and jinn did not utter a lie against Allah:

Shakir

6 And that persons from among men used to seek refuge with persons from among jinn, so they increased them in wrongdoing:

Shakir

7 And that they thought as you think, that Allah would not raise anyone:

Shakir

8 And that we sought to reach heaven, but we found it filled with strong guards and flaming stars.

Shakir

9 And that we used to sit in some of the sitting - places thereof to steal a hearing, but he who would (try to) listen now would find a flame lying in wait for him:

Shakir

10 And that we know not whether evil is meant for those who are on earth or whether their Lord means to bring them good:

Shakir

11 And that some of us are good and others of us are below that: we are sects following different ways:

Shakir

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

Shakir

13 And that when we heard the guidance, we believed in it; so whoever believes in his Lord, he should neither fear loss nor being overtaken (by disgrace):

Shakir

14 And that some of us are those who submit, and some of us are the deviators; so whoever submits, these aim at the right way:

Shakir

15 And as to the deviators, they are fuel of hell:

Shakir

16 And that if they should keep to the (right) way, We would certainly give them to drink of abundant water,

Shakir

17 So that We might try them with respect to it; and whoever turns aside from the reminder of his Lord, He will make him enter into an afflicting chastisement:

Shakir

18 And that the mosques are Allah's, therefore call not upon any one with Allah:

Shakir

19 And that when the servant of Allah stood up calling upon Him, they wellnigh crowded him (to death).

Shakir

20 Say: I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him.

Shakir

21 Say: I do not control for you evil or good.

Shakir

22 Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge:

Shakir

23 (It is) only a delivering (of communications) from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Apostle surely he shall have the fire of hell to abide therein for a long time.

Shakir

24 Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number.

Shakir

25 Say: I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term:

Shakir

26 The Knower of the unseen! so He does not reveal His secrets to any,

Shakir

27 Except to him whom He chooses as an apostle; for surely He makes a guard to march before him and after him,

Shakir

28 So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord, and He encompasses what is with them and He records the number of all things.
