Surah “The Jinn”

Say, It has been revealed to me that a band of the jinn listened [to the Quran] and they said, We have heard a really wonderful recital

which guides to the right path; so we have believed in it and we will not associate anyone with our Lor

and exalted is the majesty of our LordHe has taken neither a wife nor a son

And [now we know] that the foolish among us have been saying outrageous things about God

We had supposed that men and jinn would never utter a lie against God

Some men used to seek refuge with the jinn in the past, but that only increased their insolence

They thought, as you did, that God would never raise up anyone from the dead

We sought to reach heaven, but found it filled with strong guards and flame

we used to take up a position to listen, but whoever listens now finds a flaming fire lying in wait for hi

we cannot tell if this bodes evil to those who dwell on earth or whether their Lord intends to guide them

Some of us are righteous, while others are not; we follow divergent paths

We have realized that we could never thwart God on earth and that we would never be able to thwart Him by flight

When we heard the call to guidance, we believed in it. He who believes in his Lord has no fear of loss or of injustice

Some of us are obedient while others are wrongdoers; it is the obedient who have found the right path

but those who are wrongdoers will become the fuel of Hell

If they had followed the right path, We would have provided them with abundant rain

so that We may test them by itwhoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord shall be sternly punished

The mosques are for God's worship so do not invoke anyone else along with Go

when God's servant stood up to pray to Him, they pressed close to him in great numbers, almost stifling him

Say, I call only upon my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him

Say, It is not in my power to cause you either harm or good

Say, Surely no one can protect me against God, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge

My duty is only to convey that which I receive from Him and His messages. For those who disobey God and His Messenger there is the fire of hell, wherein they will abide forever

When they are confronted by what they have been promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers

Say, I do not know whether what you are promised is imminent, or whether my Lord has set for it a far-off day

He alone has knowledge of what is hidden. He reveals this to none

except the messenger whom He has chosen. He sends down guardians who walk before them and behind them

so that He may know that the messengers have delivered the messages of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps count of all things
