بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful.
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
قُلْ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیَّ اَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوْۤا اِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْاٰنًا عَجَبًاۙ(۱)
SAY: "I HAVE been informed that a number of jinns had listened; then said: ´We have heard the wondrous Qur´an,
Say: It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns listened (to the Qur'an). They said, 'We have really heard a wonderful Recital!
یَّهْدِیْۤ اِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَاٰمَنَّا بِهٖؕ-وَ لَنْ نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَاۤ اَحَدًاۙ(۲)
Which guides to the right path; and we have come to believe in it, and will not associate any one with our Lord.
'It gives guidance to the Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join (in worship) any (gods) with our Lord.
وَّ اَنَّهٗ تَعٰلٰى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَّ لَا وَلَدًاۙ(۳)
Exalted is the glory of our Lord; He has neither wife nor son.
'And Exalted is the Majesty of our Lord: He has taken neither a wife nor a son.
وَّ اَنَّهٗ كَانَ یَقُوْلُ سَفِیْهُنَا عَلَى اللّٰهِ شَطَطًاۙ(۴)
Certainly the foolish among us say preposterous things of God.
'There were some foolish ones among us, who used to utter extravagant lies against Allah;
وَّ اَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ اَنْ لَّنْ تَقُوْلَ الْاِنْسُ وَ الْجِنُّ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاۙ(۵)
We had in fact thought that men and jinns would never speak a lie about God,
'But we do think that no man or spirit should say aught that untrue against Allah.
وَّ اَنَّهٗ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْاِنْسِ یَعُوْذُوْنَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوْهُمْ رَهَقًاۙ(۶)
But some men used to seek refuge with some jinns, and this increased their waywardness;
'True, there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the Jinns, but they increased them in folly.
وَّ اَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوْا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنْ لَّنْ یَّبْعَثَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدًاۙ(۷)
So they began to think, even as you do, that God would not resurrect any one.
'And they (came to) think as ye thought, that Allah would not raise up any one (to Judgment).
وَّ اَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدْنٰهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِیْدًا وَّ شُهُبًاۙ(۸)
We sought to pry into the secrets of the heavens, but found it full of fierce guards and shooting flames.
'And we pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires.
وَّ اَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِؕ-فَمَنْ یَّسْتَمِعِ الْاٰنَ یَجِدْ لَهٗ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًاۙ(۹)
We sat in observatories to listen; but any one who listened found a shooting star in wait for him.
'We used, indeed, to sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing; but any who listen now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.
وَّ اَنَّا لَا نَدْرِیْۤ اَشَرٌّ اُرِیْدَ بِمَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ اَمْ اَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًاۙ(۱۰)
We do not know if this means ill for the dwellers of the earth, or their Lord wishes guidance for them.
'And we understand not whether ill is intended to those on earth, or whether their Lord (really) intends to guide them to right conduct.
وَّ اَنَّا مِنَّا الصّٰلِحُوْنَ وَ مِنَّا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَؕ-كُنَّا طَرَآىٕقَ قِدَدًاۙ(۱۱)
For some of us are upright and some otherwise: Surely we follow different ways.
'There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary: we follow divergent paths.
وَّ اَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ اَنْ لَّنْ نُّعْجِزَ اللّٰهَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ لَنْ نُّعْجِزَهٗ هَرَبًاۙ(۱۲)
We realised that we could not weaken the power of God on earth, nor outpace Him by running away.
'But we think that we can by no means frustrate Allah throughout the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight.
وَّ اَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدٰۤى اٰمَنَّا بِهٖؕ-فَمَنْ یُّؤْمِنْۢ بِرَبِّهٖ فَلَا یَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَّ لَا رَهَقًاۙ(۱۳)
So when we heard the guidance we believed in it; and he who believes in his Lord will neither fear loss nor force.
'And as for us, since we have listened to the Guidance, we have accepted it: and any who believes in his Lord has no fear, either of a short (account) or of any injustice.
وَّ اَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُوْنَ وَ مِنَّا الْقٰسِطُوْنَؕ-فَمَنْ اَسْلَمَ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا(۱۴)
Some of us have come to submission, and some of us are iniquitous.´" Those who have submitted have taken the right course;
'Amongst us are some that submit their wills (to Allah), and some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their wills - they have sought out (the path) of right conduct:
وَ اَمَّا الْقٰسِطُوْنَ فَكَانُوْا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًاۙ(۱۵)
But those who are iniquitous will be fuel for Hell.
'But those who swerve,- they are (but) fuel for Hell-fire'-
وَّ اَنْ لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوْا عَلَى الطَّرِیْقَةِ لَاَسْقَیْنٰهُمْ مَّآءً غَدَقًاۙ(۱۶)
(Say): "If they keep to the right path We shall give them water in abundance to drink
(And Allah's Message is): "If they (the Pagans) had (only) remained on the (right) Way, We should certainly have bestowed on them Rain in abundance.
لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِیْهِؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهٖ یَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًاۙ(۱۷)
In order to try them through it. But whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, will be given increasing torment by Him."
"That We might try them by that (means). But if any turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty.
وَّ اَنَّ الْمَسٰجِدَ لِلّٰهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوْا مَعَ اللّٰهِ اَحَدًاۙ(۱۸)
All places of worship are for God; so do not invoke any one with God.
"And the places of worship are for Allah (alone): So invoke not any one along with Allah;
وَّ اَنَّهٗ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ یَدْعُوْهُ كَادُوْا یَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَیْهِ لِبَدًا(۱۹)ﮒ
When the devotee of God stood up to invoke Him (the jinns) crowded upon him (to listen).
"Yet when the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd."
قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَدْعُوْا رَبِّیْ وَ لَاۤ اُشْرِكُ بِهٖۤ اَحَدًا(۲۰)
Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him."
Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)."
قُلْ اِنِّیْ لَاۤ اَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَّ لَا رَشَدًا(۲۱)
Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance."
Say: "It is not in my power to cause you harm, or to bring you to right conduct."
قُلْ اِنِّیْ لَنْ یُّجِیْرَنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اَحَدٌ ﳔ وَّ لَنْ اَجِدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مُلْتَحَدًاۙ(۲۲)
Say: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him,
Say: "No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him,
اِلَّا بَلٰغًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ رِسٰلٰتِهٖؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّعْصِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ فَاِنَّ لَهٗ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًاؕ(۲۳)
Unless I convey from God and deliver His message." For those who disobey God and His Apostle is the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever;
"Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein for ever."
حَتّٰۤى اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا یُوْعَدُوْنَ فَسَیَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ اَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَّ اَقَلُّ عَدَدًا(۲۴)
Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers.
At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised,- then will they know who it is that is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers.
قُلْ اِنْ اَدْرِیْۤ اَقَرِیْبٌ مَّا تُوْعَدُوْنَ اَمْ یَجْعَلُ لَهٗ رَبِّیْۤ اَمَدًا(۲۵)
Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term.
Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term.
عٰلِمُ الْغَیْبِ فَلَا یُظْهِرُ عَلٰى غَیْبِهٖۤ اَحَدًاۙ(۲۶)
He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one
"He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make any one acquainted with His Mysteries,-
اِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضٰى مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ فَاِنَّهٗ یَسْلُكُ مِنْۢ بَیْنِ یَدَیْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهٖ رَصَدًاۙ(۲۷)
Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind,
"Except a messenger whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him,
لِّیَعْلَمَ اَنْ قَدْ اَبْلَغُوْا رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ اَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَیْهِمْ وَ اَحْصٰى كُلَّ شَیْءٍ عَدَدًا۠(۲۸)
So that He may know if they have delivered their Lord´s messages. He comprehends all that has been given them, and keeps count of everything.
"That He may know that they have (truly) brought and delivered the Messages of their Lord: and He surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and takes account of every single thing."
