Al Jinn

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

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

2 Yahdee ila alrrushdi faamanna bihi walan nushrika birabbina ahadan

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

3 Waannahu taAAala jaddu rabbina ma ittakhatha sahibatan wala waladan

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

4 Waannahu kana yaqoolu safeehuna AAala Allahi shatatan

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

5 Waanna thananna an lan taqoola alinsu waaljinnu AAala Allahi kathiban

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

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

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

7 Waannahum thannoo kama thanantum an lan yabAAatha Allahu ahadan

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

8 Waanna lamasna alssamaa fawajadnaha muliat harasan shadeedan washuhuban

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

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

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

11 Waanna minna alssalihoona waminna doona thalika kunna taraiqa qidadan

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

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

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

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

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 Waanna minna almuslimoona waminna alqasitoona faman aslama faolaika taharraw rashadan

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

15 Waama alqasitoona fakanoo lijahannama hataban

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

16 Waallawi istaqamoo AAala alttareeqati laasqaynahum maan ghadaqan

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

17 Linaftinahum feehi waman yuAArid AAan thikri rabbihi yaslukhu AAathaban saAAadan

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

18 Waanna almasajida lillahi fala tadAAoo maAAa Allahi ahadan

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

19 Waannahu lamma qama AAabdu Allahi yadAAoohu kadoo yakoonoona AAalayhi libadan

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

20 Qul innama adAAoo rabbee wala oshriku bihi ahadan

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

21 Qul innee la amliku lakum darran wala rashadan

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

26 AAalimu alghaybi fala yuthhiru AAala ghaybihi ahadan

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

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

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.

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