Al-Jinn

قُلْ أُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ ٱسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْءَانًا عَجَبًا

Q̣ul ʹooḥiya ʹilayya ʹanna hustamaʻa nafarum minal Jinni faq̣aalooo ʹinnaa samiʻnaa Q̣urʹaanan ʻajabaa,

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].

يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلرُّشْدِ فَـَٔامَنَّا بِهِۦ ۖ وَلَن نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَدًا

Yahdeee ʹilar Rushdi faʹaamannaa bih: wa-lan nushrika bi-Rabbinaaa ʹaḥadaa.

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

وَأَنَّهُۥ تَعَـٰلَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا ٱتَّخَذَ صَـٰحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا

Wa-ʹannahoo Taʻaalaa Jaddu Rabbinaa mat takhaẓa ṣaaḥibatañw walaa waladaa.

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 شَطَطًا

Wa-ʹannahoo kaana yaq̣oolu safeehunaa ʻal allaahi shaṭaṭaa;

And that our foolish one [i.e., Iblees] has been saying about Allāh an excessive transgression.

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ ٱلْإِنسُ وَٱلْجِنُّ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا

Wa-ʹannaa z̤̣anannaaa ʹal lañ taq̣oolal ʹiñsu wal-jinnu ʻal allaahi kaẓibaa.

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

وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ ٱلْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا

Wa-ʹannahoo kaana rijaalum minal ʹiñsi yaʻooẓoona birijaalim minal Jinni fazaadoohum rahaq̣aa.

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

وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا۟ كَمَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَبْعَثَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدًا

Wa-ʹannahum z̤̣annoo kamaa z̤̣anañtum ʹal lañy yabʻas̤al laahu ʹaḥadaa.

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

وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدْنَـٰهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا

Wa-ʹannaa lamasnas samaaaʹa fawajadnaahaa muliʹat ḥarasañ shadeedañw washuhubaa.

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

وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَـٰعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَن يَسْتَمِعِ ٱلْـَٔانَ يَجِدْ لَهُۥ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًا

Wa-ʹannaa kunnaa naq̣ʻudu minhaa maq̣aaʻida lissamʻ; famañy yastamiʻil ʹaana yajid lahoo shihaabar raṣadaa.

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 نَدْرِىٓ أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا

Waʹannaa laa- nadreee ʹasharrun ʹureeda bimañ fil ʹarḍi ʹam ʹaraada bihim Rabbuhum rashadaa.

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 ذَٰلِكَ ۖ كُنَّا طَرَآئِقَ قِدَدًا

Wa-ʹannaa minnaṣ ṣaaliḥoona wa-minnaa doona ẓaalik: kunnaa ṭaraaaʹiq̣a q̣idadaa.

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

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن نُّعْجِزَ ٱللَّهَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَن نُّعْجِزَهُۥ هَرَبًا

Wa-ʹannaa z̤̣anannaaa ʹal lan nuʻjizal laaha fil ʹarḍi wa-lan nuʻjizahoo harabaa.

And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allāh upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.

وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ ۖ فَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِرَبِّهِۦ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا

Wa-ʹannaa lammaa samiʻnal Hudaaa ʹaamannaa bih. Famañy yuʹmim bi-Rabbihee falaa yakhaafu bakhsañw walaa rahaq̣aa.

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.

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا ٱلْقَـٰسِطُونَ ۖ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا۟ رَشَدًا

Wa-ʹannaa minnal Muslimoona wa-minnal Q̣aasiṭoon. Faman ʹaslama faʹulaaaʹika taḥarraw rashadaa.

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.

وَأَمَّا ٱلْقَـٰسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا۟ لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا

Wa-ʹammal Q̣aasiṭoona fakaanoo li-Jahannama ḥaṭabaa―

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

وَأَلَّوِ ٱسْتَقَـٰمُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَـٰهُم مَّآءً غَدَقًا

Wa-ʹalla-wis taq̣aamoo ʻalaṭ Ṭareeq̣ati laʹasq̣aynaahum maaaʹan g̣adaq̣aa.

And [Allāh revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant rain [i.e., provision]

لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَن يُعْرِضْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِۦ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا

Linaftinahum feeh. Wa-mañy yuʻriḍ ʻañ Ẓikri Rabbihee yaslukhu ʻAẓaabañ ṣaʻadaa.

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

وَأَنَّ ٱلْمَسَـٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدًا

Wa-ʹannal Masaajida lil-laahi falaa tadʻoo maʻal laahi ʹaḥadaa;

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

وَأَنَّهُۥ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ ٱللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا۟ يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا

Wa-ʹannahoo lammaa q̣aama ʻAbdul laahi yadʻoohu kaadoo yakoonoona ʻalayhi libadaa.

And that when the Servant [i.e., Prophet] of Allāh stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."

قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَدْعُوا۟ رَبِّى وَلَآ أُشْرِكُ بِهِۦٓ أَحَدًا

Q̣ul ʹinnamaaa ʹadʻoo Rabbee wa-laaa ʹushriku biheee ʹaḥadaa.

Say, [O Muḥammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone."

قُلْ إِنِّى لَآ أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا

Q̣ul ʹinnee laaa ʹamliku lakum ḍarrañw walaa rashadaa.

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

قُلْ إِنِّى لَن يُجِيرَنِى مِنَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مُلْتَحَدًا

Q̣ul ʹinnee lañy yujeeranee minal laahi ʹaḥad, wa-lan ʹajida miñ doonihee multaḥadaa,

Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allāh anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge.

إِلَّا بَلَـٰغًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِسَـٰلَـٰتِهِۦ ۚ وَمَن يَعْصِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا

ʹIllaa balaag̣am minal laahi wa-Risaalaatih: wa-mañy yaʻṣil laaha wa-Rasoolahoo faʹinna lahoo Naara Jahannama khaalideena feehaaa ʹabadaa.

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.

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوْا۟ مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا

Ḥattaaa ʹiẓaa raʹaw maa- yooʻadoona fasayaʻlamoona man ʹaḍʻafu naaṣirañw waʹaq̣allu ʻadadaa.

[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 إِنْ أَدْرِىٓ أَقَرِيبٌ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهُۥ رَبِّىٓ أَمَدًا

Q̣ul ʹin ʹadreee ʹa-q̣areebum maa tooʻadoona ʹam yajʻalu lahoo Rabbeee ʹamadaa.

Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period."

عَـٰلِمُ ٱلْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِۦٓ أَحَدًا

ʻAalimul G̣aybi falaa yuz̤̣hiru ʻalaa G̣aybiheee ʹaḥadaa,

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

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱرْتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَسْلُكُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِۦ رَصَدًا

ʹIllaa manir taḍaa mir rasooliñ faʹinnahoo yasluku mim bayni yadayhi wa-min khalfihee raṣadaa,

Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before him [i.e., each messenger] and behind him observers

لِّيَعْلَمَ أَن قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا۟ رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عَدَدًۢا

Liyaʻlama ʹañ q̣ad ʹablag̣oo Risaalaati Rabbihim wa-ʹaḥaaṭa bimaa ladayhim wa-ʹaḥṣaa kulla shayʹin ʻadadaa.

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.
