Chapter 72, 28 verses
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.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم قل أوحي إلي أنه استمع نفر من الجن فقالوا إنا سمعنا قرآنا عجبا
It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.
يهدي إلى الرشد فآمنا به ۖ ولن نشرك بربنا أحدا
And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son
وأنه تعالى جد ربنا ما اتخذ صاحبة ولا ولدا
And that our foolish one has been saying about Allah an excessive transgression.
وأنه كان يقول سفيهنا على الله شططا
And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie.
وأنا ظننا أن لن تقول الإنس والجن على الله كذبا
And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.
وأنه كان رجال من الإنس يعوذون برجال من الجن فزادوهم رهقا
And they had thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone [as a messenger].
وأنهم ظنوا كما ظننتم أن لن يبعث الله أحدا
And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.
وأنا لمسنا السماء فوجدناها ملئت حرسا شديدا وشهبا
And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.
وأنا كنا نقعد منها مقاعد للسمع ۖ فمن يستمع الآن يجد له شهابا رصدا
And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.
وأنا لا ندري أشر أريد بمن في الأرض أم أراد بهم ربهم رشدا
And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways.
وأنا منا الصالحون ومنا دون ذلك ۖ كنا طرائق قددا
And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allah upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.
وأنا ظننا أن لن نعجز الله في الأرض ولن نعجزه هربا
And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.
وأنا لما سمعنا الهدى آمنا به ۖ فمن يؤمن بربه فلا يخاف بخسا ولا رهقا
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.
وأنا منا المسلمون ومنا القاسطون ۖ فمن أسلم فأولئك تحروا رشدا
But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'
وأما القاسطون فكانوا لجهنم حطبا
And [Allah revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant provision
وأن لو استقاموا على الطريقة لأسقيناهم ماء غدقا
So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment.
لنفتنهم فيه ۚ ومن يعرض عن ذكر ربه يسلكه عذابا صعدا
And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.
وأن المساجد لله فلا تدعوا مع الله أحدا
And that when the Servant of Allah stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."
وأنه لما قام عبد الله يدعوه كادوا يكونون عليه لبدا
Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone."
قل إنما أدعو ربي ولا أشرك به أحدا
Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."
قل إني لا أملك لكم ضرا ولا رشدا
Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge.
قل إني لن يجيرني من الله أحد ولن أجد من دونه ملتحدا
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.
إلا بلاغا من الله ورسالاته ۚ ومن يعص الله ورسوله فإن له نار جهنم خالدين فيها أبدا
[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.
حتى إذا رأوا ما يوعدون فسيعلمون من أضعف ناصرا وأقل عددا
Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period."
قل إن أدري أقريب ما توعدون أم يجعل له ربي أمدا
[He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone
عالم الغيب فلا يظهر على غيبه أحدا
Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers
إلا من ارتضى من رسول فإنه يسلك من بين يديه ومن خلفه رصدا
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.
ليعلم أن قد أبلغوا رسالات ربهم وأحاط بما لديهم وأحصى كل شيء عددا
