الجن

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

Say, “It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn listened [to the Qur’an,] and they said, ‘Indeed, we have heard a wondrous recitation

Yahdee ila alrrushdi faamanna bihi walan nushrika birabbina ahadan

that guides to the right way, so we have believed in it, and we will never associate anyone with our Lord.

Waannahu taAAala jaddu rabbina ma ittakhatha sahibatan wala waladan

And that He – our exalted and glorified Lord[1] – has neither taken a wife nor a child;

Waannahu kana yaqoolu safeehuna AAala Allahi shatatan

and that the fool among us [i.e., Satan] used to say outrageous things about Allah[2],

Waanna thananna an lan taqoola alinsu waaljinnu AAala Allahi kathiban

although we thought that humans and jinn would never tell lies about Allah.

Waannahu kana rijalun mina alinsi yaAAoothoona birijalin mina aljinni fazadoohum rahaqan

And there were some men who used to seek refuge with some jinn, but they only increased them in burden.

Waannahum thannoo kama thanantum an lan yabAAatha Allahu ahadan

They thought, just like you [jinn] thought that Allah would never send any messenger.

Waanna lamasna alssamaa fawajadnaha muliat harasan shadeedan washuhuban

We have sought to reach heaven but found it filled with stern guards and flaming fire.

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

We used to take up positions there for eavesdropping, but now anyone who eavesdrops will find a flaming fire waiting for him[3].

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

We do not know whether evil is intended for those on earth, or their Lord intends good for them.

Waanna minna alssalihoona waminna doona thalika kunna taraiqa qidadan

Among us are some who are righteous and some who are otherwise, for we follow divergent ways[4].

Wanna thananna an lan nuAAjiza Allaha fee alardi walan nuAAjizahu haraban

We have realized that we can never escape Allah on earth, nor can we ever escape Him by fleeing.

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

When we heard the guidance [of the Qur’an], we believed in it. Whoever believes in his Lord will have no fear of curtailment [from his reward] or injustice[5].

Waanna minna almuslimoona waminna alqasitoona faman aslama faolaika taharraw rashadan

Among us are some who are Muslims and some who are deviant[6]. Those who accepted Islam have sought the true guidance,

Waama alqasitoona fakanoo lijahannama hataban

but those who are deviant, they will be fuel for Hell.’”

Waallawi istaqamoo AAala alttareeqati laasqaynahum maan ghadaqan

“If they had remained steadfast on the right way, We would have given them abundant rain,

Linaftinahum feehi waman yuAArid AAan thikri rabbihi yaslukhu AAathaban saAAadan

as a test for them[7]. But whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord[8], He will make him suffer an arduous punishment.

Waanna almasajida lillahi fala tadAAoo maAAa Allahi ahadan

The mosques[9] are for Allah alone, so do not supplicate anyone along with Allah.

Waannahu lamma qama AAabdu Allahi yadAAoohu kadoo yakoonoona AAalayhi libadan

Yet when the slave of Allah stood up supplicating Him, they swarmed around him[10].”

Qul innama adAAoo rabbee wala oshriku bihi ahadan

Say [O Prophet], “I only supplicate my Lord and I do not associate anyone with Him.”

Qul innee la amliku lakum darran wala rashadan

Say, “I have no power to harm or benefit you[11].”

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

Say, “None can ever protect me from Allah [if I should disobey Him], nor can I ever find refuge except in Him.

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

I only convey what I receive from Allah and His messages.” And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger will certainly be in the Fire of Hell, abiding therein forever.

Hatta itha raaw ma yooAAadoona fasayaAAlamoona man adAAafu nasiran waaqallu AAadadan

Until when they see what they were promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number.

Qul in adree aqareebun ma tooAAadoona am yajAAalu lahu rabbee amadan

Say, “I do not know if what you are promised is near or my Lord has appointed a distant time for it.

AAalimu alghaybi fala yuthhiru AAala ghaybihi ahadan

[He is] the Knower of the unseen, He does not reveal His unseen to anyone,

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

except the messenger whom He chooses, then He appoints angel-guards before him and behind him[12]

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

to ensure[13] that the messengers fully conveyed the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge all about them, and keeps count of all things.”
