Al-Jinn

Qul oohiya ilayya annahu istamaAAanafarun mina aljinni faqaloo inna samiAAnaqur-anan AAajaba

Say, [O Muḥammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].

Yahdee ila arrushdi faamannabihi walan nushrika birabbina ahada

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

Waannahu taAAala jaddu rabbinama ittakhatha sahibatan wala walada

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

Waannahu kana yaqoolu safeehunaAAala Allahi shatata

And that our foolish one [i.e., Iblees] has been saying about Allāh an excessive transgression.

Waanna thanannaan lan taqoola al-insu waljinnu AAala Allahikathiba

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

Waannahu kana rijalun minaal-insi yaAAoothoona birijalin mina aljinni fazadoohumrahaqa

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

Waannahum thannoo kama thanantuman lan yabAAatha Allahu ahada

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

Waanna lamasna assamaafawajadnaha muli-at harasan shadeedanwashuhuba

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

Waanna kunna naqAAudu minhamaqaAAida lissamAAi faman yastamiAAi al-anayajid lahu shihaban rasada

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

Waanna la nadree asharrunoreeda biman fee al-ardi am arada bihim rabbuhumrashada

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

Waanna minna assalihoonawaminna doona thalika kunna tara-iqaqidada

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

Wanna thanannaan lan nuAAjiza Allaha fee al-ardi walan nuAAjizahuharaba

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

Waanna lamma samiAAnaalhuda amanna bihi faman yu/min birabbihifala yakhafu bakhsan wala rahaqa

And when we heard the guidance [i.e., the Qur’ān], we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.

Waanna minna almuslimoonawaminna alqasitoona faman aslama faola-ikataharraw rashada

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

Waama alqasitoona fakanoolijahannama hataba

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

Waallawi istaqamoo AAala attareeqatilaasqaynahum maan ghadaqa

And [Allāh revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant rain [i.e., provision].

Linaftinahum feehi waman yuAArid AAanthikri rabbihi yasluk-hu AAathaban saAAada

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

Waanna almasajida lillahi falatadAAoo maAAa Allahi ahada

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

Waannahu lamma qama AAabdu AllahiyadAAoohu kadoo yakoonoona AAalayhi libada

And that when the Servant [i.e., Prophet] of Allāh stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."

Qul innama adAAoo rabbee walaoshriku bihi ahada

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

Qul innee la amliku lakum darranwala rashada

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

Qul innee lan yujeeranee mina Allahiahadun walan ajida min doonihi multahada

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

Illa balaghan mina Allahiwarisalatihi waman yaAAsi Allahawarasoolahu fa-inna lahu nara jahannama khalideenafeeha abada

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

Hatta itha raaw mayooAAadoona fasayaAAlamoona man adAAafu nasiranwaaqallu AAadada

[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.

Qul in adree aqareebun ma tooAAadoonaam yajAAalu lahu rabbee amada

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

AAalimu alghaybi fala yuthhiruAAala ghaybihi ahada

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

Illa mani irtada min rasoolinfa-innahu yasluku min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi rasada

Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before him [i.e., each messenger] and behind him observers

LiyaAAlama an qad ablaghoo risalatirabbihim waahata bima ladayhim waahsa kullashay-in AAadada

That he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] 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.
