আল জিন

1 Say: It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns listened (to the Qur'an). They said, 'We have really heard a wonderful Recital!

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

2 'It gives guidance to the Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join (in worship) any (gods) with our Lord.

2 Yahdee ila alrrushdi faamanna bihi walan nushrika birabbina ahadan

3 'And Exalted is the Majesty of our Lord: He has taken neither a wife nor a son.

3 Waannahu taAAala jaddu rabbina ma ittakhatha sahibatan wala waladan

4 'There were some foolish ones among us, who used to utter extravagant lies against Allah;

4 Waannahu kana yaqoolu safeehuna AAala Allahi shatatan

5 'But we do think that no man or spirit should say aught that untrue against Allah.

5 Waanna thananna an lan taqoola alinsu waaljinnu AAala Allahi kathiban

6 'True, there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the Jinns, but they increased them in folly.

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

7 'And they (came to) think as ye thought, that Allah would not raise up any one (to Judgment).

7 Waannahum thannoo kama thanantum an lan yabAAatha Allahu ahadan

8 'And we pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires.

8 Waanna lamasna alssamaa fawajadnaha muliat harasan shadeedan washuhuban

9 'We used, indeed, to sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing; but any who listen now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.

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

10 'And we understand not whether ill is intended to those on earth, or whether their Lord (really) intends to guide them to right conduct.

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

11 'There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary: we follow divergent paths.

11 Waanna minna alssalihoona waminna doona thalika kunna taraiqa qidadan

12 'But we think that we can by no means frustrate Allah throughout the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight.

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

13 'And as for us, since we have listened to the Guidance, we have accepted it: and any who believes in his Lord has no fear, either of a short (account) or of any injustice.

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

14 'Amongst us are some that submit their wills (to Allah), and some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their wills - they have sought out (the path) of right conduct:

14 Waanna minna almuslimoona waminna alqasitoona faman aslama faolaika taharraw rashadan

15 'But those who swerve, - they are (but) fuel for Hell - fire' -

15 Waama alqasitoona fakanoo lijahannama hataban

16 (And Allah's Message is): "If they (the Pagans) had (only) remained on the (right) Way, We should certainly have bestowed on them Rain in abundance.

16 Waallawi istaqamoo AAala alttareeqati laasqaynahum maan ghadaqan

17 "That We might try them by that (means). But if any turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty.

17 Linaftinahum feehi waman yuAArid AAan thikri rabbihi yaslukhu AAathaban saAAadan

18 "And the places of worship are for Allah (alone): So invoke not any one along with Allah;

18 Waanna almasajida lillahi fala tadAAoo maAAa Allahi ahadan

19 "Yet when the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd."

19 Waannahu lamma qama AAabdu Allahi yadAAoohu kadoo yakoonoona AAalayhi libadan

20 Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)."

20 Qul innama adAAoo rabbee wala oshriku bihi ahadan

21 Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct."

21 Qul innee la amliku lakum darran wala rashadan

22 Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him,

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

23 "Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger, - for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever."

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

24 At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised, - then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers.

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

25 Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term.

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

26 "He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries, -

26 AAalimu alghaybi fala yuthhiru AAala ghaybihi ahadan

27 "Except a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him,

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

28 "That He may know that they have (truly) brought and delivered the Messages of their Lord: and He surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and takes account of every single thing."

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