72 - Surah Al-Jinn

The Jinn

Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem



1. Qul oohiya ilaiya annna hustama'a nafarum minal jinni faqaalooo innaa sami'naa quraanan ajabaSay: It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns listened (to the Qur´an). They said, ´We have really heard a wonderful Recital! قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا

2. Yahdeee ilar rushdi fa aamannaa bihee wa lan nushrika bi rabbinaaa 'ahada´It gives guidance to the Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join (in worship) any (gods) with our Lord.يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا

3. Wa annahoo Ta'aalaa jaddu Rabbinaa mat'takhaza saahibatanw wa laa walada´And Exalted is the Majesty of our Lord: He has taken neither a wife nor a son.وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا

4. Wa annahoo kaana yaqoolu safeehunaa 'al allahi shatata´There were some foolish ones among us, who used to utter extravagant lies against Allah;وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا

5. Wa annaa zanannaaa al lan taqoolal insu wal jinnu 'al allahi kaziba´But we do think that no man or spirit should say aught that untrue against Allah.وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ تَقُولَ الْإِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا

6. Wa annahoo kaana rijaalun minal insi ya'oozoona bi rijaalin minal jinni fa zaadoohum rahaqa´True, there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the Jinns, but they increased them in folly.وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا

7. Wa annahum zannoo kamaa zanantum al lany yab'asal laahu 'ahada´And they (came to) think as ye thought, that Allah would not raise up any one (to Judgment).وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ لَنْ يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا

8. Wa annaa lamasnas samaaa'a fa wajadnaahaa muli'at harasan shadeedanw wa shuhuba´And we pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires.وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَاءَ فَوَجَدْنَاهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا

9. Wa annaa kunnaa naq'udu minhaa maqaa'ida lis'sam'i famany yastami'il 'aana yajid lahoo shihaabar rasada´We used, indeed, to sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing; but any who listen now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَنْ يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَصَدًا

10. Wa annaa laa nadreee asharrun ureeda biman fil ardi 'am 'araada bihim rabbuhum rashada´And we understand not whether ill is intended to those on earth, or whether their Lord (really) intends to guide them to right conduct.وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِي أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا

11. Wa annaa minnas saalihoona wa minnaa doona zaalika kunnaa taraaa'iqa qidada´There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary: we follow divergent paths.وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا

12. Wa annaa zanan naaa al lan nu'jizal laaha fil ardi wa lan nu'jizahoo haraba´But we think that we can by no means frustrate Allah throughout the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight.وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ نُعْجِزَ اللَّهَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَنْ نُعْجِزَهُ هَرَبًا

13. Wa annaa lammaa sami'nal hudaaa aamannaa bihee famany yu'min bi rabbihee falaa yakhaafu bakhsanw wa laa rahaqa´And as for us, since we have listened to the Guidance, we have accepted it: and any who believes in his Lord has no fear, either of a short (account) or of any injustice.وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدَىٰ آمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ فَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِرَبِّهِ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا

14. Wa annaa minnal muslimoona wa minnal qaasitoona faman aslama fa ulaaa'ika taharraw rashada´Amongst us are some that submit their wills (to Allah), and some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their wills - they have sought out (the path) of right conduct:وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ ۖ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا

15. Wa ammal qaasitoona fa kaanoo li jahannama hataba´But those who swerve,- they are (but) fuel for Hell-fire´-وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا

16. Wa alla wis taqaamoo 'alat tareeqati la asqaynaahum maa'an ghadaqa(And Allah´s Message is): "If they (the Pagans) had (only) remained on the (right) Way, We should certainly have bestowed on them Rain in abundance.وَأَنْ لَوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُمْ مَاءً غَدَقًا

17. Linaftinahum feeh; wa many yu'rid 'an zikri rabbihee yasluk hu 'azaaban sa'ada"That We might try them by that (means). But if any turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty.لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يُعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا

18. Wa annal masaajida lil laahi falaa tad'oo ma'al laahi 'ahada"And the places of worship are for Allah (alone): So invoke not any one along with Allah;وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا

19. Wa annahoo lammaa qaama 'abdul laahi yad'oohu kaadoo yakoonoona 'alaihi libada"Yet when the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd."وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا

20. Qul innamaaa ad'oo rabbee wa laaa ushriku biheee 'ahadaSay: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)."قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَدْعُو رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا

21. Qul innee laaa amliku lakum darranw wa laa rashadaSay: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct."قُلْ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا

22. Qul innee lany yujeeranee minal laahi 'ahadunw, wa lan ajida min doonihee multahadaSay: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him,قُلْ إِنِّي لَنْ يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِنْ دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا

23. Illaa balaagham minal laahi wa risaalaatih; wa many ya'sil laaha wa rasoolahoo fa inna lahoo naara jahannama khaalideena feehaaa 'abada"Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever."إِلَّا بَلَاغًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسَالَاتِهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا

24. Hattaaa izaa ra aw maa yoo'adoona fasaya'lamoona man ad'afu naasiranw wa aqallu 'adadaAt length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers.حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا

25. Qul in adreee a qareebum maa too'adoona am yaj'alu lahoo rabbeee 'amadaSay: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term.قُلْ إِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيبٌ مَا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ رَبِّي أَمَدًا

26. 'Aalimul ghaibi falaa yuzhiru alaa ghaibiheee 'ahada"He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,-عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا

27. Illaa manir tadaa mir rasoolin fa innahoo yasluku min baini yadaihi wa min khalfihee rasada"Except a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him,إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِنْ رَسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا

28. Liya'lama an qad ablaghoo risaalaati rabbihim wa ahaata bi maa ladaihim wa ahsaa kulla shai'in 'adada"That He may know that they have (truly) brought and delivered the Messages of their Lord: and He surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and takes account of every single thing."لِيَعْلَمَ أَنْ قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا
