Al-Jinn الجن

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahim qul uhiya ilayya annahu istama'a nafarun min al-jinn fa-qalu inna sami'na qur'an 'ajab

Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur'an.

يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَن نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا

yahdi ila ar-rushd fa-amanna bihi wa-lan nushrika bi-rabbina ahadan

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.

وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا

wa-annahu ta'ala jadd rabbina ma ittakhadha sahibatan wa-la walad

And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son

وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا

wa-annahu kana yaqulu safihuna 'ala Allahi shatatan

And that our foolish one has been saying about Allah an excessive transgression.

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَن لَّن تَقُولَ الْإِنسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا

wa-anna zananna an lan taqul al-insu wal-jinnu 'ala Allahi kadhiban

And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie.

وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا

wa-annahu kana rijal min al-ins ya'udhun bi-rijal min al-jinn fa-zaduhum rahaq

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.

وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا كَمَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا

wa-annahum zannu kama zannum an lan yab'ath Allah ahad

And they had thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone [as a messenger].

وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَاءَ فَوَجَدْنَاهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا

wa-anna lamnasna as-sama'a fa-wajadnaha muli'at harasan shadidan wa-shuhuban

And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.

وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَن يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًا

wa-anna kunna naq'ud minha maqa'id lis-sam' fa-man yastami' al-'ana yajid lahu shihaban rasad

And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.

وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِي أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا

wa-anna la nadri asharrun urida biman fi al-ard am arada bihim rabbuhum rashada

And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا

wa-anna minna as-salihun wa-minna dun dhalik kunna tara'iqa qidadan

And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways.

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَن لَّن نُّعْجِزَ اللَّهَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَن نُّعْجِزَهُ هَرَبًا

wa-anna zananna an lan nu'jiza Allah fi al-ard wa-lan nu'jizah haraban

And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allah upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.

وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدَىٰ آمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ فَمَن يُؤْمِن بِرَبِّهِ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا

wa-anna lamma sami'na al-huda amanna bihi faman yu'min bi-rabbihi fala yakhaf bakhsan wa-la rahaqan

And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ ۖ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُولَـٰئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا

wa-anna minna al-muslimun wa-minna al-qasitun fa-man aslama fa-ula'ika taharraw rashad

And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allah], and among us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course.

وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا

wa-amma al-qasitun fa-kanu li-jahannama hataba

But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'

وَأَن لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُم مَّاءً غَدَقًا

wa-an lawi s-taqamu 'ala at-tariqati la-asqaynahum ma'an ghadaqa

And [Allah revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant provision

لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَن يُعْرِضْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا

li-naftinahum fihi wa-man yu'rid 'an dhikr rabbih yaslukhu 'adhaban sa'adan

So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment.

وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا

wa-anna al-masajid lillah fala tad'u ma'a Allah ahad

And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.

وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا

wa-annahu lamma qama 'abd Allahi yad'uhu kadu yakununa 'alayhi libadan

And that when the Servant of Allah stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."

قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَدْعُو رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا

qul innama ad'u rabbi wa-la ushriku bihi ahadan

Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone."

قُلْ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا

qul inni la amliku lakum darran wa-la rashadan

Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."

قُلْ إِنِّي لَن يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا

qul inni lan yujirani min Allahi ahad wa-lan ajid min dunih multahad

Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge.

إِلَّا بَلَاغًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسَالَاتِهِ ۚ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا

illa balagh min Allah wa-risalatih wa-man ya'si Allah wa-rasulah fa-inna lahu nar jahannam khalidin fiha abada

But [I have for you] only notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.

حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا

hatta idha ra'aw ma yu'adun fa-saya'lamun man ad'af nasiran wa-aqall 'adadan

[The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number.

قُلْ إِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيبٌ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ رَبِّي أَمَدًا

qul in adri aqarib ma tu'adun am yaj'al lahu rabbi amada

Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period."

عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا

'alim al-ghayb fa-la yudhiru 'ala ghaybih ahad

[He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone

إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا

illa mani irtada min rasul fa-innahu yasluku min bayni yadayhi wa-min khalfihi rasada

Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers

لِّيَعْلَمَ أَن قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا

li-ya'lam an qad ablaghu risalat rabbihim wa-ahata bima ladayhim wa-ahsa kull shay'in 'adad

That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number.
