| قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا {١} |
1. SAY: "I HAVE been informed that a number of jinns had listened; then said: ´We have heard the wondrous Qur´an, |
| يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا {٢} |
2. Which guides to the right path; and we have come to believe in it, and will not associate any one with our Lord. |
| وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا {٣} |
3. Exalted is the glory of our Lord; He has neither wife nor son. |
| وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا {٤} |
4. Certainly the foolish among us say preposterous things of God. |
| وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ تَقُولَ الْإِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا {٥} |
5. We had in fact thought that men and jinns would never speak a lie about God, |
| وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا {٦} |
6. But some men used to seek refuge with some jinns, and this increased their waywardness; |
| وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ لَنْ يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا {٧} |
7. So they began to think, even as you do, that God would not resurrect any one. |
| وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَاءَ فَوَجَدْنَاهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا {٨} |
8. We sought to pry into the secrets of the heavens, but found it full of fierce guards and shooting flames. |
| وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَنْ يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَصَدًا {٩} |
9. We sat in observatories to listen; but any one who listened found a shooting star in wait for him. |
| وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِي أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا {١٠} |
10. We do not know if this means ill for the dwellers of the earth, or their Lord wishes guidance for them. |
| وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا {١١} |
11. For some of us are upright and some otherwise: Surely we follow different ways. |
| وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ نُعْجِزَ اللَّهَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَنْ نُعْجِزَهُ هَرَبًا {١٢} |
12. We realised that we could not weaken the power of God on earth, nor outpace Him by running away. |
| وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدَىٰ آمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ فَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِرَبِّهِ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا {١٣} |
13. So when we heard the guidance we believed in it; and he who believes in his Lord will neither fear loss nor force. |
| وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ ۖ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا {١٤} |
14. Some of us have come to submission, and some of us are iniquitous.´" Those who have submitted have taken the right course; |
| وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا {١٥} |
15. But those who are iniquitous will be fuel for Hell. |
| وَأَنْ لَوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُمْ مَاءً غَدَقًا {١٦} |
16. (Say): "If they keep to the right path We shall give them water in abundance to drink |
| لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يُعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا {١٧} |
17. In order to try them through it. But whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, will be given increasing torment by Him." |
| وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا {١٨} |
18. All places of worship are for God; so do not invoke any one with God. |
| وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا {١٩} |
19. When the devotee of God stood up to invoke Him (the jinns) crowded upon him (to listen). |
| قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَدْعُو رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا {٢٠} |
20. Say: "I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him." |
| قُلْ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا {٢١} |
21. Say: "Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance." |
| قُلْ إِنِّي لَنْ يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِنْ دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا {٢٢} |
22. Say: "No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him, |
| إِلَّا بَلَاغًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسَالَاتِهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا {٢٣} |
23. Unless I convey from God and deliver His message." For those who disobey God and His Apostle is the fire of Hell, where they will abide for ever; |
| حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا {٢٤} |
24. Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers. |
| قُلْ إِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيبٌ مَا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ رَبِّي أَمَدًا {٢٥} |
25. Say: "I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term. |
| عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا {٢٦} |
26. He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one |
| إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِنْ رَسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا {٢٧} |
27. Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind, |
| لِيَعْلَمَ أَنْ قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا {٢٨} |
28. So that He may know if they have delivered their Lord´s messages. He comprehends all that has been given them, and keeps count of everything. |
