بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of God, the Lord of Mercy, the Giver of Mercy

  1. 72:1
    قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا١

    Say [Prophet], ‘It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn once listened in and said, “We have heard a wondrous Quran

  2. 72:2
    يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَنْ نُشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا٢

    that gives guidance to the right path, and we have come to believe it––We shall never set up partners with our Lord––

  3. 72:3
    وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا٣

    and that He––exalted be the glory of our Lord!––has neither spouse nor child

  4. 72:4
    وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا٤

    Outrageous things have been said about God by the foolish among us

  5. 72:5
    وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ تَقُولَ الْإِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا٥

    although we had thought that no man or jinn would [dare to] tell a lie about Him

  6. 72:6
    وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا٦

    Men have sought refuge with the jinn in the past, but they only misguided them further

  7. 72:7
    وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ لَنْ يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا٧

    They thought, as you did, that God would never raise anyone from the dead

  8. 72:8
    وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَاءَ فَوَجَدْنَاهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا٨

    We tried to reach heaven, but discovered it to be full of stern guards and shooting stars––

  9. 72:9
    وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَنْ يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَصَدًا٩

    we used to sit in places there, listening, but anyone trying to listen now will find a shooting star lying in wait for him––

  10. 72:10
    وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِي أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا١٠

    [so now] we do not know whether those who live on earth are due for misfortune, or whether their Lord intends to guide them

  11. 72:11
    وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا١١

    Some of us are righteous and others less so: we follow different paths

  12. 72:12
    وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ نُعْجِزَ اللَّهَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَنْ نُعْجِزَهُ هَرَبًا١٢

    We know we can never frustrate God on earth; we can never escape Him

  13. 72:13
    وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدَىٰ آمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ فَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِرَبِّهِ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا١٣

    When we heard the guidance we came to believe: whoever believes in his Lord need fear no loss nor injustice

  14. 72:14
    وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ ۖ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا١٤

    Some of us submit to Him and others go the wrong way: those who submit to God have found wise guidance

  15. 72:15
    وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا١٥

    but those who go wrong will be fuel for Hellfire.” ’

  16. 72:16
    وَأَنْ لَوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُمْ مَاءً غَدَقًا١٦

    If they had taken to the right way, We would have given them abundant water to drink

  17. 72:17
    لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يُعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا١٧

    a test for them––but anyone who turns away from his Lord’s Revelation will be sent by Him to spiralling torment

  18. 72:18
    وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا١٨

    Places of worship are for God alone- so do not pray to anyone other than God

  19. 72:19
    وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا١٩

    yet when God’s Servant stood up to pray to Him, they pressed in on him

  20. 72:20
    قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَدْعُو رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا٢٠

    Say, ‘I pray to my Lord alone; I set up no partner with Him.’

  21. 72:21
    قُلْ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا٢١

    Say, ‘I have no control over any harm or good that may befall you.’

  22. 72:22
    قُلْ إِنِّي لَنْ يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِنْ دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا٢٢

    Say, ‘No one can protect me from God: I have no refuge except in Him

  23. 72:23
    إِلَّا بَلَاغًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسَالَاتِهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا٢٣

    I only deliver [what I receive] from God- only His messages.’ Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will have Hell’s Fire as his permanent home

  24. 72:24
    حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا٢٤

    when they are confronted by what they have been warned about, they will realize who has the weaker protector and the smaller number

  25. 72:25
    قُلْ إِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيبٌ مَا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ رَبِّي أَمَدًا٢٥

    Say, ‘I do not know whether what you have been warned about is near, or whether a distant time has been appointed for it by my Lord.’

  26. 72:26
    عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا٢٦

    He is the One who knows what is hidden

  27. 72:27
    إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِنْ رَسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا٢٧

    He does not disclose it except to a messenger of His choosing. He sends watchers to go in front and behind

  28. 72:28
    لِيَعْلَمَ أَنْ قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا٢٨

    to ensure that each of His messengers delivers his Lord’s message: He knows all about them, and He takes account of everything
