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].

Qul oohiya ilayya annahu istamaAAanafarun mina aljinni faqaloo inna samiAAnaqur-anan AAajaba

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

Yahdee ila arrushdi faamannabihi walan nushrika birabbina ahada

And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son

Waannahu taAAala jaddu rabbinama ittakhatha sahibatan wala walada

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

Waannahu kana yaqoolu safeehunaAAala Allahi shatata

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

Waanna thanannaan lan taqoola al-insu waljinnu AAala Allahikathiba

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

Waannahu kana rijalun minaal-insi yaAAoothoona birijalin mina aljinni fazadoohumrahaqa

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

Waannahum thannoo kama thanantuman lan yabAAatha Allahu ahada

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

Waanna lamasna assamaafawajadnaha muli-at harasan shadeedanwashuhuba

And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.

Waanna kunna naqAAudu minhamaqaAAida lissamAAi faman yastamiAAi al-anayajid lahu shihaban rasada

And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.

Waanna la nadree asharrunoreeda biman fee al-ardi am arada bihim rabbuhumrashada

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

Waanna minna assalihoonawaminna doona thalika kunna tara-iqaqidada

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

Wanna thanannaan lan nuAAjiza Allaha fee al-ardi walan nuAAjizahuharaba

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.

Waanna lamma samiAAnaalhuda amanna bihi faman yu/min birabbihifala yakhafu bakhsan wala rahaqa

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.

Waanna minna almuslimoonawaminna alqasitoona faman aslama faola-ikataharraw rashada

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

Waama alqasitoona fakanoolijahannama hataba

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

Waallawi istaqamoo AAala attareeqatilaasqaynahum maan ghadaqa

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

Linaftinahum feehi waman yuAArid AAanthikri rabbihi yasluk-hu AAathaban saAAada

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

Waanna almasajida lillahi falatadAAoo maAAa Allahi ahada

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

Waannahu lamma qama AAabdu AllahiyadAAoohu kadoo yakoonoona AAalayhi libada

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

Qul innama adAAoo rabbee walaoshriku bihi ahada

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

Qul innee la amliku lakum darranwala rashada

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

Qul innee lan yujeeranee mina Allahiahadun walan ajida min doonihi multahada

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.

Illa balaghan mina Allahiwarisalatihi waman yaAAsi Allahawarasoolahu fa-inna lahu nara jahannama khalideenafeeha abada

[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.

Hatta itha raaw mayooAAadoona fasayaAAlamoona man adAAafu nasiranwaaqallu AAadada

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

Qul in adree aqareebun ma tooAAadoonaam yajAAalu lahu rabbee amada

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

AAalimu alghaybi fala yuthhiruAAala ghaybihi ahada

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

Illa mani irtada min rasoolinfa-innahu yasluku min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi rasada

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.

LiyaAAlama an qad ablaghoo risalatirabbihim waahata bima ladayhim waahsa kullashay-in AAadada
