بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
قُلْ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیَّ اَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوْۤا اِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْاٰنًا عَجَبًا ۟ۙ
Qul oohiya ilayya annahu istamaAAanafarun mina aljinni faqaloo inna samiAAnaqur-anan AAajaba
Say, [O Muḥammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur’ān [i.e., recitation].
یَّهْدِیْۤ اِلَی الرُّشْدِ فَاٰمَنَّا بِهٖ ؕ وَلَنْ نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَاۤ اَحَدًا ۟ۙ
Yahdee ila arrushdi faamannabihi walan nushrika birabbina ahada
It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.
وَّاَنَّهٗ تَعٰلٰی جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَّلَا وَلَدًا ۟ۙ
Waannahu taAAala jaddu rabbinama ittakhatha sahibatan wala walada
And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son
وَّاَنَّهٗ كَانَ یَقُوْلُ سَفِیْهُنَا عَلَی اللّٰهِ شَطَطًا ۟ۙ
Waannahu kana yaqoolu safeehunaAAala Allahi shatata
And that our foolish one [i.e., Iblees] has been saying about Allāh an excessive transgression.
وَّاَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ اَنْ لَّنْ تَقُوْلَ الْاِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَی اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا ۟ۙ
Waanna thanannaan lan taqoola al-insu waljinnu AAala Allahikathiba
And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allāh a lie.
وَّاَنَّهٗ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْاِنْسِ یَعُوْذُوْنَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوْهُمْ رَهَقًا ۟ۙ
Waannahu kana rijalun minaal-insi yaAAoothoona birijalin mina aljinni fazadoohumrahaqa
And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden [i.e., sin].
وَّاَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوْا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنْ لَّنْ یَّبْعَثَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدًا ۟ۙ
Waannahum thannoo kama thanantuman lan yabAAatha Allahu ahada
And they had thought, as you thought, that Allāh would never send anyone [as a messenger].
وَّاَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدْنٰهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِیْدًا وَّشُهُبًا ۟ۙ
Waanna lamasna assamaafawajadnaha muli-at harasan shadeedanwashuhuba
And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.
وَّاَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ؕ فَمَنْ یَّسْتَمِعِ الْاٰنَ یَجِدْ لَهٗ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًا ۟ۙ
Waanna kunna naqAAudu minhamaqaAAida lissamAAi faman yastamiAAi al-anayajid lahu shihaban rasada
And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.
وَّاَنَّا لَا نَدْرِیْۤ اَشَرٌّ اُرِیْدَ بِمَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ اَمْ اَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا ۟ۙ
Waanna la nadree asharrunoreeda biman fee al-ardi am arada bihim rabbuhumrashada
And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.
وَّاَنَّا مِنَّا الصّٰلِحُوْنَ وَمِنَّا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَ ؕ كُنَّا طَرَآىِٕقَ قِدَدًا ۟ۙ
Waanna minna assalihoonawaminna doona thalika kunna tara-iqaqidada
And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways.
وَّاَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ اَنْ لَّنْ نُّعْجِزَ اللّٰهَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَلَنْ نُّعْجِزَهٗ هَرَبًا ۟ۙ
Wanna thanannaan lan nuAAjiza Allaha fee al-ardi walan nuAAjizahuharaba
And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allāh upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.
وَّاَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدٰۤی اٰمَنَّا بِهٖ ؕ فَمَنْ یُّؤْمِنْ بِرَبِّهٖ فَلَا یَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَّلَا رَهَقًا ۟ۙ
Waanna lamma samiAAnaalhuda amanna bihi faman yu/min birabbihifala yakhafu bakhsan wala rahaqa
And when we heard the guidance [i.e., the Qur’ān], we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.
وَّاَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُوْنَ وَمِنَّا الْقٰسِطُوْنَ ؕ فَمَنْ اَسْلَمَ فَاُولٰٓىِٕكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا ۟
Waanna minna almuslimoonawaminna alqasitoona faman aslama faola-ikataharraw rashada
And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allāh], and among us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course.
وَاَمَّا الْقٰسِطُوْنَ فَكَانُوْا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا ۟ۙ
Waama alqasitoona fakanoolijahannama hataba
But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'
وَّاَنْ لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوْا عَلَی الطَّرِیْقَةِ لَاَسْقَیْنٰهُمْ مَّآءً غَدَقًا ۟ۙ
Waallawi istaqamoo AAala attareeqatilaasqaynahum maan ghadaqa
And [Allāh revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant rain [i.e., provision].
لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِیْهِ ؕ وَمَنْ یُّعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهٖ یَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا ۟ۙ
Linaftinahum feehi waman yuAArid AAanthikri rabbihi yasluk-hu AAathaban saAAada
So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment.
وَّاَنَّ الْمَسٰجِدَ لِلّٰهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوْا مَعَ اللّٰهِ اَحَدًا ۟ۙ
Waanna almasajida lillahi falatadAAoo maAAa Allahi ahada
And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allāh, so do not invoke with Allāh anyone.
وَّاَنَّهٗ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ یَدْعُوْهُ كَادُوْا یَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَیْهِ لِبَدًا ۟ؕ۠
Waannahu lamma qama AAabdu AllahiyadAAoohu kadoo yakoonoona AAalayhi libada
And that when the Servant [i.e., Prophet] of Allāh stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."
قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَدْعُوْا رَبِّیْ وَلَاۤ اُشْرِكُ بِهٖۤ اَحَدًا ۟
Qul innama adAAoo rabbee walaoshriku bihi ahada
Say, [O Muḥammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone."
قُلْ اِنِّیْ لَاۤ اَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَّلَا رَشَدًا ۟
Qul innee la amliku lakum darranwala rashada
Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."
قُلْ اِنِّیْ لَنْ یُّجِیْرَنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اَحَدٌ ۙ۬ وَّلَنْ اَجِدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مُلْتَحَدًا ۟ۙ
Qul innee lan yujeeranee mina Allahiahadun walan ajida min doonihi multahada
Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allāh anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge.
اِلَّا بَلٰغًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَرِسٰلٰتِهٖ ؕ وَمَنْ یَّعْصِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ فَاِنَّ لَهٗ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًا ۟ؕ
Illa balaghan mina Allahiwarisalatihi waman yaAAsi Allahawarasoolahu fa-inna lahu nara jahannama khalideenafeeha abada
But [I have for you] only notification from Allāh, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allāh and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.
حَتّٰۤی اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا یُوْعَدُوْنَ فَسَیَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ اَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَّاَقَلُّ عَدَدًا ۟
Hatta itha raaw mayooAAadoona fasayaAAlamoona man adAAafu nasiranwaaqallu AAadada
[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.
قُلْ اِنْ اَدْرِیْۤ اَقَرِیْبٌ مَّا تُوْعَدُوْنَ اَمْ یَجْعَلُ لَهٗ رَبِّیْۤ اَمَدًا ۟
Qul in adree aqareebun ma tooAAadoonaam yajAAalu lahu rabbee amada
Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period."
عٰلِمُ الْغَیْبِ فَلَا یُظْهِرُ عَلٰی غَیْبِهٖۤ اَحَدًا ۟ۙ
AAalimu alghaybi fala yuthhiruAAala ghaybihi ahada
[He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone
اِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضٰی مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ فَاِنَّهٗ یَسْلُكُ مِنْ بَیْنِ یَدَیْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهٖ رَصَدًا ۟ۙ
Illa mani irtada min rasoolinfa-innahu yasluku min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi rasada
Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before him [i.e., each messenger] and behind him observers
لِّیَعْلَمَ اَنْ قَدْ اَبْلَغُوْا رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَاَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَیْهِمْ وَاَحْصٰی كُلَّ شَیْءٍ عَدَدًا ۟۠
LiyaAAlama an qad ablaghoo risalatirabbihim waahata bima ladayhim waahsa kullashay-in AAadada
That he [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number.
