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

1 Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur'an.

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,

2 Yahdee ila alrrushdi faamanna bihi walan nushrika birabbina ahadan

2 It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.

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

3 Waannahu taAAala jaddu rabbina ma ittakhatha sahibatan wala waladan

3 And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son

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

4 Waannahu kana yaqoolu safeehuna AAala Allahi shatatan

4 And that our foolish one has been saying about Allah an excessive transgression.

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

5 Waanna thananna an lan taqoola alinsu waaljinnu AAala Allahi kathiban

5 And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie.

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

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

6 And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.

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);

7 Waannahum thannoo kama thanantum an lan yabAAatha Allahu ahadan

7 And they had thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone [as a messenger].

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

8 Waanna lamasna alssamaa fawajadnaha muliat harasan shadeedan washuhuban

8 And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.

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.

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

9 And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.

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

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

10 And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.

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

11 Waanna minna alssalihoona waminna doona thalika kunna taraiqa qidadan

11 And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways.

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

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

12 And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allah upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.

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

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

13 And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.

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

14 Waanna minna almuslimoona waminna alqasitoona faman aslama faolaika taharraw rashadan

14 And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allah], and among us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course.

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.

15 Waama alqasitoona fakanoo lijahannama hataban

15 But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'

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

16 Waallawi istaqamoo AAala alttareeqati laasqaynahum maan ghadaqan

16 And [Allah revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant provision

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

17 Linaftinahum feehi waman yuAArid AAan thikri rabbihi yaslukhu AAathaban saAAadan

17 So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment.

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.

18 Waanna almasajida lillahi fala tadAAoo maAAa Allahi ahadan
