| | Hamid S. Aziz rendition of Surah The Jinn(al-Jinn)
--- |

| 72:1 | | Say, "It has been revealed to me that a company of the jinn listened, and they said, "Surely we have heard a wonderful Recital (Quran) |
| 72:2 | | "Guiding to the right way. So we believe in it, and we will not join any one with our Lord (in worship) |
| 72:3 | | "And that He, exalted be the majesty of our Lord, has not taken a consort, nor a son |
| 72:4 | | "The foolish amongst us used to invent extravagant things against Allah |
| 72:5 | | "And lo! We thought (or think) that men and jinn did not (or ought not to) utter a lie against Allah |
| 72:6 | | "And, indeed, persons from among men used to seek refuge with persons from among jinn, so they increased them in wrongdoing (or folly or revolt) |
| 72:7 | | "And they thought as you think, that Allah would not raise anyone (to be judged) |
| 72:8 | | "And we sought to reach heaven, but we found it filled with strong guards and flaming fires (or meteors) |
| 72:9 | | "And we used to sit in some high hidden places therein to steal a hearing, but he who would try to listen now would find a flame lying in wait for him |
| 72:10 | | "We know not whether evil is meant for those who are on earth or whether their Lord means to bring them good |
| 72:11 | | "And some of us are righteous and others of us are far from that: we are sects following different ways |
| 72:12 | | "But we know that we cannot escape (or frustrate) Allah in the earth, nor can we escape (or frustrate) Him by flight |
| 72:13 | | "And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it (or accepted it); whoever believes in his Lord, he neither fears loss nor oppression (injustice or disgrace) |
| 72:14 | | "Some of us are those who have Surrendered (to Allah), and some of us are deviators. Those who have Surrender have surely taken the right path purposefully |
| 72:15 | | "As for the deviators, they are the fuel of Hell:" |
| 72:16 | | If they should keep to the right way, We would certainly give them to drink of abundant water |
| 72:17 | | "So that We might test them therewith. And whoever turns aside from the remembrance of his Lord, He will afflict him with a severe penalty |
| 72:18 | | The places of worship are only Allah´s, therefore call not upon any one along with Allah |
| 72:19 | | And yet when the servant of Allah stood up in prayer to Him, they crowded almost stifling him |
| 72:20 | | Say, "I only call upon my Lord, and I do not associate any one with Him." |
| 72:21 | | Say, "I do not control for you evil or good." |
| 72:22 | | Say, "Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refug |
| 72:23 | | 72:23."Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His messages; and whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger surely he shall have the fire of Hell to abide therein for ever |
| 72:24 | | Until when they see what they are promised, then shall they know who it is that is weaker in helpers and fewer in number |
| 72:25 | | Say, "I do not know whether that which you are promised be nigh or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term |
| 72:26 | | He is the Knower of the unseen! And He reveals unto none His secrets |
| 72:27 | | Except messengers whom He has chosen; and then He makes a guard to go before him and after him |
| 72:28 | | So that He may know that they have truly delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses what is with them and He keeps count of all things |
