Al-Jinn

Say, "It has been revealed to me that a group of the Occulted listened, and they said: We have heard an astonishing recitation, that guides to rectitude, so we have believed in it, and we will never associate anyone with our Guardian.

قل اوحي الى انه استمع نفر من الجن فقالوا انا سمعنا قرءانا عجبا يهدي الى الرشد فامنا به ولن نشرك بربنا احدا

And exalted is the magnificence of our Guardian; He has not taken a consort nor a child.

وانه تعلى جد ربنا ما اتخذ صحبة ولا ولدا

And the foolish among us used to speak, against God, excessive words.

وانه كان يقول سفيهنا على الله شططا

And we presumed that mankind and the Occulted would never speak against God a lie.

وانا ظننا ان لن تقول الانس والجن على الله كذبا

And there were men among mankind who took refuge in men among the Occulted, and they only crushed them all the more.

وانه كان رجال من الانس يعوذون برجال من الجن فزادوهم رهقا

And they presumed, as you presumed, that God would never raise anyone up.

وانهم ظنوا كما ظننتم ان لن يبعث الله احدا

And we touched the sky and found it filled with severe sentinels and blazing projectiles.

وانا لمسنا السماء فوجدنها مليت حرسا شديدا وشهبا

And we used to sit in stations for listening, but whoever listens now will find a blazing projectile lying in wait for him.

وانا كنا نقعد منها مقعد للسمع فمن يستمع الءان يجد له شهابا رصدا

And we have no idea whether ill is intended for those on earth, or whether their Guardian intends for them rectitude.

وانا لا ندري اشر اريد بمن في الارض ام اراد بهم ربهم رشدا

we were divided into scattered courses of conduct.

كنا طرايق قددا

And we presumed that we would never render God powerless upon earth, nor render Him powerless by fleeing.

وانا ظننا ان لن نعجز الله في الارض ولن نعجزه هربا

and whoever believes in his Guardian will fear neither loss nor crushing.

فمن يومن بربه فلا يخاف بخسا ولا رهقا

and whoever is true to God alone, those have sought rectitude,

فمن اسلم فاوليك تحروا رشدا

but as for the deviant, they became firewood for Jahannam.

واما القسطون فكانوا لجهنم حطبا

And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Guardian, He will insert him into an ever-mounting punishment.

ومن يعرض عن ذكر ربه يسلكه عذابا صعدا

And that the places of prostration belong to God, so do not invoke anyone along with God.

وان المسجد لله فلا تدعوا مع الله احدا

And that when the obedient one of God stood up calling upon Him, they almost crowded him in dense multitude."

وانه لما قام عبد الله يدعوه كادوا يكونون عليه لبدا

Say, "I only invoke my Guardian and I associate no one with Him."

قل انما ادعوا ربي ولا اشرك به احدا

Say, "I hold for you neither harm nor rectitude."

قل اني لا املك لكم ضرا ولا رشدا

And whoever disobeys God and His messenger, indeed, for him is the fire of Jahannam, abiding therein eternally, forever.

ومن يعص الله ورسوله فان له نار جهنم خلدين فيها ابدا

Until, when they see that which they are promised, they will know who is weakest in helpers and fewest in number.

حتى اذا راوا ما يوعدون فسيعلمون من اضعف ناصرا واقل عددا

Say, "I have no idea whether what you are promised is near, or whether my Guardian will set for it a span."

قل ان ادري اقريب ما توعدون ام يجعل له ربي امدا

Knower of what escapes the senses, and He makes none of it appear to anyone, except a messenger He has approved of. He then makes lookouts go before him and behind him, so that He may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Guardian; and He encompasses whatever is with them and enumerates all things with exactness.

علم الغيب فلا يظهر على غيبه احدا الا من ارتضى من رسول فانه يسلك من بين يديه ومن خلفه رصدا ليعلم ان قد ابلغوا رسلت ربهم واحاط بما لديهم واحصى كل شىء عددا
