72:1  Say, "It was inspired to me that a group of jinn listened, then said, 'We have heard an amazing Quran

72:2  that guides to the correctness, so we believed in it, and we will not associate anyone with our Lord.

72:3  And that exalted is the Majesty of our Lord. He has not taken a wife or a son.

72:4  And that the foolish one amongst us used to utter outrageous falsehood about God,

72:5  though we had thought that neither the humans nor the jinn would utter lies about God.

72:6  And there were men among the humans who used to seek refuge in men from among the jinn, but they increased them in burden.

72:7  And they thought, just like you thought, that God would not resurrect anyone.

72:8  And we felt our way through the heaven and found it filled with fierce guards and projectiles.

72:9  And we used to sit there in listening positions, but whoever listens in now will find a projectile pursuing him.

72:10  And we do not know whether evil is intended for those in the earth, or if their Lord wills for them the guidance.

72:11  And among us are the righteous, and among us are other than that. We have been following different paths.

72:12  And we realised that we cannot thwart God in the earth, nor can we thwart Him by running away.

72:13  And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. Anyone who believes in his Lord should not fear any deprivation or burden.

72:14  And among us are Submitters, and among us are the deviators. As for those who have submitted, they have indeed sought out the guidance.

72:15  As for the deviators, they will be firewood for Hell.' "

72:16  Had they been straight and upright on the path, We would have provided them with abundant water

72:17  so that We would test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will insert him into a mounting punishment.

72:18  The masjids are for God, so do not call upon anyone else besides God.

72:19  And when God's servant stood up to call upon Him, they almost swarmed all over him.

72:20  Say, "I call only upon my Lord, and I do not associate anyone with Him."

72:21  Say, "I possess no power to harm you, nor to guide you."

72:22  Say, "No one can protect me from God, nor will I ever find refuge in other than Him.

72:23  It is but a notification from God, and His messages." Whoever disobeys God and His messenger shall incur the fire of Hell. Therein, they shall forever remain.

72:24  Only when they see what they were promised will they know who has less support and is fewer in number.

72:25  Say, "I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent or whether my Lord will set a long term for it."

72:26  The Knower of the unseen; He does not reveal His unseen to anyone

72:27  except to a messenger whom He has approved of. And indeed, He places observers before him and behind him,

72:28  so that He may know that they have delivered their Lord's messages. He has encompassed what is with them, and He has counted the number of all things.
