The Jinn

The Koran








072.001
Say (O Muhammad): It is revealed unto me that a company of the Jinn gave ear, and they said: Lo! we have heard a marvellous Qur'an,

072.002
Which guideth unto righteousness, so we believe in it and we ascribe no partner unto our Lord.

072.003
And (we believe) that He—exalted be the glory of our Lord!—hath taken neither wife nor son,

072.004
And that the foolish one among us used to speak concerning Allah an atrocious lie.

072.005
And lo! we had supposed that humankind and jinn would not speak a lie concerning Allah -

072.006
And indeed (O Muhammad) individuals of humankind used to invoke the protection of individuals of the jinn, so that they increased them in revolt against Allah);

072.007
And indeed they supposed, even as ye suppose, that Allah would not raise anyone (from the dead) -

072.008
And (the Jinn who had listened to the Qur'an said): We had sought the heaven but had found it filled with strong warders and meteors.

072.009
And we used to sit on places (high) therein to listen. But he who listeneth now findeth a flame in wait for him;

072.010
And we know not whether harm is boded unto all who are in the earth, or whether their Lord intendeth guidance for them.

072.011
And among us there are righteous folk and among us there are far from that. We are sects having different rules.

072.012
And we know that we cannot escape from Allah in the earth, nor can we escape by flight.

072.013
And when we heard the guidance, we believed therein, and whoso believeth in his Lord, he feareth neither loss nor oppression.

072.014
And there are among us some who have surrendered (to Allah) and there are among us some who are unjust. And whoso hath surrendered to Allah, such have taken the right path purposefully.

072.015
And as for those who are unjust, they are firewood for hell.

072.016
If they (the idolaters) tread the right path, We shall give them to drink of water in abundance

072.017
That We may test them thereby, and whoso turneth away from the remembrance of his Lord; He will thrust him into ever-growing torment.

072.018
And the places of worship are only for Allah, so pray not unto anyone along with Allah.

072.019
And when the slave of Allah stood up in prayer to Him, they crowded on him, almost stifling.

072.020
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner.

072.021
Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you.

072.022
Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him

072.023
(Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell for ever.

072.024
Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude.

072.025
Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it.

072.026
(He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret,

072.027
Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him

072.028
That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things.
