| | Abdel Haleem rendition of Surah The Jinn(al-Jinn)
--- |
|---|
| 72:1 | | Say [Prophet], ‘It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn once listened in and said, “We have heard a wondrous Quran |
| 72:2 | | that gives guidance to the right path, and we have come to believe it––We shall never set up partners with our Lord–&ndash |
| 72:3 | | and that He––exalted be the glory of our Lord!––has neither spouse nor child |
| 72:4 | | Outrageous things have been said about God by the foolish among us |
| 72:5 | | although we had thought that no man or jinn would [dare to] tell a lie about Him |
| 72:6 | | Men have sought refuge with the jinn in the past, but they only misguided them further |
| 72:7 | | They thought, as you did, that God would never raise anyone from the dead |
| 72:8 | | We tried to reach heaven, but discovered it to be full of stern guards and shooting stars–&ndash |
| 72:9 | | we used to sit in places there, listening, but anyone trying to listen now will find a shooting star lying in wait for him–&ndash |
| 72:10 | | [so now] we do not know whether those who live on earth are due for misfortune, or whether their Lord intends to guide them |
| 72:11 | | Some of us are righteous and others less so: we follow different paths |
| 72:12 | | We know we can never frustrate God on earth; we can never escape Him |
| 72:13 | | When we heard the guidance we came to believe: whoever believes in his Lord need fear no loss nor injustice |
| 72:14 | | Some of us submit to Him and others go the wrong way: those who submit to God have found wise guidance |
| 72:15 | | but those who go wrong will be fuel for Hellfire.” &rsquo |
| 72:16 | | If they had taken to the right way, We would have given them abundant water to drink |
| 72:17 | | a test for them––but anyone who turns away from his Lord’s Revelation will be sent by Him to spiralling torment |
| 72:18 | | Places of worship are for God alone- so do not pray to anyone other than God |
| 72:19 | | yet when God’s Servant stood up to pray to Him, they pressed in on him |
| 72:20 | | Say, ‘I pray to my Lord alone; I set up no partner with Him.&rsquo |
| 72:21 | | Say, ‘I have no control over any harm or good that may befall you.&rsquo |
| 72:22 | | Say, ‘No one can protect me from God: I have no refuge except in Him |
| 72:23 | | I only deliver [what I receive] from God- only His messages.’ Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will have Hell’s Fire as his permanent home |
| 72:24 | | when they are confronted by what they have been warned about, they will realize who has the weaker protector and the smaller number |
| 72:25 | | Say, ‘I do not know whether what you have been warned about is near, or whether a distant time has been appointed for it by my Lord.&rsquo |
| 72:26 | | He is the One who knows what is hidden |
| 72:27 | | He does not disclose it except to a messenger of His choosing. He sends watchers to go in front and behin |
| 72:28 | | to ensure that each of His messengers delivers his Lord’s message: He knows all about them, and He takes account of everything |
