Book 72


The Jinn

In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent,
the Merciful.

[72.1]

Say:
It has been revealed to me that a party of the jinn listened,
and they said:
Surely we have heard a wonderful Quran,

[72.2]

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

[72.3]

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

[72.4]

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

[72.5]

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

[72.6]

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

[72.7]

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

[72.8]

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

[72.9]

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:

[72.10]

And that we know not whether evil is meant for those who are on earth or whether their Lord means to bring them good:

[72.11]

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

[72.12]

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

[72.13]

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):

[72.14]

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:

[72.15]

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

[72.16]

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

[72.17]

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:

[72.18]

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

[72.19]

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

[72.20]

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

[72.21]

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

[72.22]

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

[72.23]

(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.

[72.24]

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

[72.25]

Say:
I do not know whether that with which you are threatened be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a term:

[72.26]

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

[72.27]

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

[72.28]

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.
