Qul oohiya ilayya annahu istamaAAa nafarun mina aljinni faqaloo inna samiAAna qur-anan AAajaban\n1. Say: It has been\n Revealed to me that\n A company of Jinns\n Listened (to the Qur-\u0101n).\n They said, 'We have\n Really heard a wonderful Recital!\n2. Yahdee ila alrrushdi faamanna bihi walan nushrika birabbina ahadan\n2. 'It gives guidance\n To the Right,\n And we have believed therein:\n We shall not join (in worship)\n Any (gods) with our Lord.\n3. Waannahu taAAala jaddu rabbina ma ittakhatha sahibatan wala waladan\n3. 'And exalted is the Majesty\n Of our Lord: He has\n Taken neither a wife\n Nor a son.\n4. Waannahu kana yaqoolu safeehuna AAala Allahi shatatan\n4. 'There were some foolish ones\n Among us, who used\n To utter extravagant lies\n Against God;\n5. Waanna thananna an lan taqoola al-insu waaljinnu AAala Allahi kathiban\n5. 'But we do think\n That no man or spirit\nShould say aught that is\n Untrue against God.\n6. Waannahu kana rijalun mina al-insi yaAAoothoona birijalin mina aljinni fazadoohum rahaqan\n6. 'True, there were persons\n Among mankind who took shelter\n With persons among the Jinns,\n But they increased them\n In folly.\n7. Waannahum thannoo kama thanantum an lan yabAAatha Allahu ahadan\n7. 'And they (came to) think\n As ye thought, that God\n Would not raise up\n Any one (to Judgment).\n8. Waanna lamasna alssamaa fawajadnaha muli-at harasan shadeedan washuhuban\n8. 'And we pried into\n The secrets of heaven;\n But we found it filled\n With stern guards\n And flaming fires.\n9. Waanna kunna naqAAudu minha maqaAAida lilssamAAi faman yastamiAAi al-ana yajid lahu shihaban rasadan\n9. 'We used, indeed, to sit there\n In (hidden) stations, to (steal)\n A hearing; but any\n Who listens now\n Will find a flaming fire\n Watching him in ambush.\n10. Waanna la nadree asharrun oreeda biman fee al-ardi am arada bihim rabbuhum rashadan\n10. 'And we understand not\n Whether ill is intended\n To those on earth,\n Or whether their Lord\n (Really) intends to guide\n Them to right conduct.\n11. Waanna minna alssalihoona waminna doona thalika kunna tara-iqa qidadan\n11. 'There are among us\n Some that are righteous,\n And some the contrary:\n We follow divergent paths.\n12. Wanna thananna an lan nuAAjiza Allaha fee al-ardi walan nuAAjizahu haraban\n12. 'But we think that we\n Can by no means frustrate\n God throughout the earth,\n Nor can we frustrate Him\n By flight.\n13. Waanna lamma samiAAna alhuda amanna bihi faman yu/min birabbihi fala yakhafu bakhsan wala rahaqan\n13. 'And as for us,\n Since we have listened\n To the Guidance, we have\n Accepted it: and any\n Who believes in his Lord\n Has no fear, either\n Of a short (account)\n Or of any injustice.\n14. Waanna minna almuslimoona waminna alqasitoona faman aslama faola-ika taharraw rashadan\n14. 'Amongst us are some\n That submit their wills\n (To God), and some\n That swerve from justice.\n Now those who submit\n Their wills\u2014they have\nSought out (the path)\n Of right conduct:\n15. Waama alqasitoona fakanoo lijahannama hataban\n15. 'But those who swerve,\u2014\n They are (but) fuel\n For Hell-fire'\u2014\n16. Waallawi istaqamoo AAala alttareeqati laasqaynahum maan ghadaqan\n16. (And God's Message is):\n \"If they (the Pagans)\n Had (only) remained\n On the (right) Way,\n We should certainly have\n Bestowed on them Rain\n In abundance.\n17. Linaftinahum feehi waman yuAArid AAan thikri rabbihi yasluk-hu AAathaban saAAadan\n17. \"That We might try them\n By that (means).\n But if any turns away\n From the remembrance\n Of his Lord, He will\n Cause him to undergo\n A severe Penalty.\n18. Waanna almasajida lillahi fala tadAAoo maAAa Allahi ahadan\n18. \"And the places of worship\n Are for God (alone):\n So invoke not any one\n Along with God;\n19. Waannahu lamma qama AAabdu Allahi yadAAoohu kadoo yakoonoona AAalayhi libadan\n19. \"Yet when the Devotee\n Of God stands forth\n To invoke Him, they just\n Make round him a dense crowd.\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra LXXII.: Jinn, or the Spirits.: Section 1 (1-19)","type":"page"}
