Surah Al-Jinn

قُلۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ ٱسۡتَمَعَ نَفَرٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ فَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا سَمِعۡنَا قُرۡءَانًا عَجَبٗا ﴿١﴾

Qul oohiya ilayya annahu istamaʿa nafarun mina aljinni faqaloo inna samiʿna quranan ʿajaban

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

يَهۡدِيٓ إِلَى ٱلرُّشۡدِ فَـَٔامَنَّا بِهِۦۖ وَلَن نُّشۡرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَدٗا ﴿٢﴾

Yahdee ila alrrushdi faamanna bihi walan nushrika birabbina ahadan

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

وَأَنَّهُۥ تَعَٰلَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا ٱتَّخَذَ صَٰحِبَةٗ وَلَا وَلَدٗا ﴿٣﴾

Waannahu taʿala jaddu rabbina ma ittakhatha sahibatan wala waladan

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

وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ شَطَطٗا ﴿٤﴾

Waannahu kana yaqoolu safeehuna ʿala Allahi shatatan

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

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ ٱلۡإِنسُ وَٱلۡجِنُّ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا ﴿٥﴾

Waanna thananna an lan taqoola alinsu waaljinnu ʿala Allahi kathiban

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

وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمۡ رَهَقٗا ﴿٦﴾

Waannahu kana rijalun mina alinsi yaʿoothoona birijalin mina aljinni fazadoohum rahaqan

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

وَأَنَّهُمۡ ظَنُّواْ كَمَا ظَنَنتُمۡ أَن لَّن يَبۡعَثَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٗا ﴿٧﴾

Waannahum thannoo kama thanantum an lan yabʿatha Allahu ahadan

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

وَأَنَّا لَمَسۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدۡنَٰهَا مُلِئَتۡ حَرَسٗا شَدِيدٗا وَشُهُبٗا ﴿٨﴾

Waanna lamasna alssamaa fawajadnaha muliat harasan shadeedan washuhuban

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

وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقۡعُدُ مِنۡهَا مَقَٰعِدَ لِلسَّمۡعِۖ فَمَن يَسۡتَمِعِ ٱلۡأٓنَ يَجِدۡ لَهُۥ شِهَابٗا رَّصَدٗا ﴿٩﴾

Waanna kunna naqʿudu minha maqaʿida lilssamʿi faman yastamiʿi alana yajid lahu shihaban rasadan

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 نَدۡرِيٓ أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمۡ أَرَادَ بِهِمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ رَشَدٗا ﴿١٠﴾

Waanna la nadree asharrun oreeda biman fee alardi am arada bihim rabbuhum rashadan

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 ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَۖ كُنَّا طَرَآئِقَ قِدَدٗا ﴿١١﴾

Waanna minna alssalihoona waminna doona thalika kunna taraiqa qidadan

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

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن نُّعۡجِزَ ٱللَّهَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَن نُّعۡجِزَهُۥ هَرَبٗا ﴿١٢﴾

Wanna thananna an lan nuʿjiza Allaha fee alardi walan nuʿjizahu 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 سَمِعۡنَا ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦۖ فَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِرَبِّهِۦ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخۡسٗا وَلَا رَهَقٗا ﴿١٣﴾

Waanna lamma samiʿna alhuda amanna bihi faman yumin birabbihi fala yakhafu bakhsan wala 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 ٱلۡمُسۡلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا ٱلۡقَٰسِطُونَۖ فَمَنۡ أَسۡلَمَ فَأُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ تَحَرَّوۡاْ رَشَدٗا ﴿١٤﴾

Waanna minna almuslimoona waminna alqasitoona faman aslama faolaika taharraw rashadan

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 ٱلۡقَٰسِطُونَ فَكَانُواْ لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبٗا ﴿١٥﴾

Waama alqasitoona fakanoo lijahannama hataban

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

وَأَلَّوِ ٱسۡتَقَٰمُواْ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسۡقَيۡنَٰهُم مَّآءً غَدَقٗا ﴿١٦﴾

Waallawi istaqamoo ʿala alttareeqati laasqaynahum maan ghadaqan

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

لِّنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ فِيهِۚ وَمَن يُعۡرِضۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِۦ يَسۡلُكۡهُ عَذَابٗا صَعَدٗا ﴿١٧﴾

Linaftinahum feehi waman yuʿrid ʿan thikri rabbihi yaslukhu ʿathaban saʿadan

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

وَأَنَّ ٱلۡمَسَٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدۡعُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدٗا ﴿١٨﴾

Waanna almasajida lillahi fala tadʿoo maʿa Allahi ahadan

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

وَأَنَّهُۥ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ يَدۡعُوهُ كَادُواْ يَكُونُونَ عَلَيۡهِ لِبَدٗا ﴿١٩﴾

Waannahu lamma qama ʿabdu Allahi yadʿoohu kadoo yakoonoona ʿalayhi libadan

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

قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَدۡعُواْ رَبِّي وَلَآ أُشۡرِكُ بِهِۦٓ أَحَدٗا ﴿٢٠﴾

Qul innama adʿoo rabbee wala oshriku bihi ahadan

Qul innee la amliku lakum darran wala rashadan

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

قُلۡ إِنِّي لَن يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدٞ وَلَنۡ أَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مُلۡتَحَدًا ﴿٢٢﴾

Qul innee lan yujeeranee mina Allahi ahadun walan ajida min doonihi multahadan

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 بَلَٰغٗا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِسَٰلَٰتِهِۦۚ وَمَن يَعۡصِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا ﴿٢٣﴾

Illa balaghan mina Allahi warisalatihi waman yaʿsi Allaha warasoolahu fainna lahu nara jahannama khalideena feeha abadan

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

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوۡاْ مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ أَضۡعَفُ نَاصِرٗا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدٗا ﴿٢٤﴾

Hatta itha raaw ma yooʿadoona fasayaʿlamoona man adʿafu nasiran waaqallu ʿadadan

[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

قُلۡ إِنۡ أَدۡرِيٓ أَقَرِيبٞ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ أَمۡ يَجۡعَلُ لَهُۥ رَبِّيٓ أَمَدًا ﴿٢٥﴾

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

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱرۡتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٖ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَسۡلُكُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ يَدَيۡهِ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِۦ رَصَدٗا ﴿٢٧﴾

Illa mani irtada min rasoolin fainnahu yasluku min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi rasadan

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