72. Al-Jinn

1
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

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

Say (O Muhammad): It is revealed unto me that a company of the Jinn gave ear, and they said: Lo! it is a marvellous Qur'ân,

2
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Which guideth unto righteousness, so we believe in it and we ascribe no partner unto our Lord.

3
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And (we believe) that He—exalted be the glory of our Lord!—hath taken neither wife nor son,

4
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And that the foolish one among us used to speak concerning Allah an atrocious lie.

5
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And lo! we had supposed that humankind and Jinn would not speak a lie concerning Allah—

6
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And indeed (O Muhammad) individuals of humankind used to invoke the protection of individuals of the Jinn, so that they increased them in revolt (against Allah);

7
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And indeed they supposed, even as ye suppose, that Allah would not raise anyone (from the dead)—

8
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And (the Jinn who had listened to the Qur'ân said): We had sought the heaven but had found it filled with strong warders and meteors.

9
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And we used to sit on places (high) therein to listen. But he who listeneth now findeth a flame in wait for him;

10
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And we know not whether harm is boded unto all who are in the earth, or whether their Lord intendeth guidance for them.

11
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And among us there are righteous folk and among us there are far from that. We are sects having different rules.

12
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And we know that we cannot escape from Allah in the earth, nor can we escape by flight.

13
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And when we heard the guidance, we believed therein, and whoso believeth in his Lord, he feareth neither loss nor oppression.

14
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And there are among us some who have surrendered (to Allah) and there are among us some who are unjust. And whoso hath surrendered to Allah, such have taken the right path purposefully.

15
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And as for those who are unjust, they are firewood for hell.

16
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

If they (the idolaters) tread the right path, We shall give them to drink of water in abundance

17
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

That We may test them thereby, and whoso turneth away from the remembrance of his Lord; He will thrust him into ever-growing torment.

18
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And the places of worship are only for Allah, so pray not unto anyone along with Allah.

19
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

And when the slave of Allah stood up in prayer to Him, they crowded on him, almost stifling.

20
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner.

21
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you.

22
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him

23
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

(Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell for ever.

24
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude.

25
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it.

26
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

(He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret,

27
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him

28
English · Marmaduke Pickthall

That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things.
