আল জীন (জীন সম্প্রদায়)

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,

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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.

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:

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.

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

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

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

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

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):

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

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:

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.

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

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

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

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

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:

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

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

18 And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.

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

19 And that when the Servant of Allah stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."

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

20 Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone."

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

21 Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."

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

22 Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge.

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.

23 But [I have for you] only notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.

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

24 [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number.

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:

25 Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period."

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

26 [He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone

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

27 Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers

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.

28 That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number.
