The Text of Surah Al-Jinn
قُلْ أُوحِیَ إِلَیَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا .1
یَهْدِی إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ وَلَنْ نُشْرِکَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا .2
وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَدًا .3
وَأَنَّهُ کَانَ یَقُولُ سَفِیهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا.4
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ تَقُولَ الإنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ کَذِبًا .5
وَأَنَّهُ کَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الإنْسِ یَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا.6
وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا کَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنْ لَنْ یَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا .7
وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَاءَ فَوَجَدْنَاهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِیدًا وَشُهُبًا.8
وَأَنَّا کُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ فَمَنْ یَسْتَمِعِ الآنَ یَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَصَدًا .9
وَأَنَّا لا نَدْرِی أَشَرٌّ أُرِیدَ بِمَنْ فِی الأرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا .10
وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَلِکَ کُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا .11
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ نُعجِزَ اللَّهَ فِی الأرْضِ وَلَنْ نُعْجِزَهُ هَرَبًا.12
وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدَى آمَنَّا بِهِ فَمَنْ یُؤْمِنْ بِرَبِّهِ فَلا یَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلا رَهَقًا .13
وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُولَئِکَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا .14
وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَکَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا.15
وَأَلَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِیقَةِ لأسْقَیْنَاهُمْ مَاءً غَدَقًا .16
لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِیهِ وَمَنْ یُعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِکْرِ رَبِّهِ یَسْلُکْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا.17
وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا .18
وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ یَدْعُوهُ کَادُوا یَکُونُونَ عَلَیْهِ لِبَدًا.19
قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَدْعُو رَبِّی وَلا أُشْرِکُ بِهِ أَحَدًا .20
قُلْ إِنِّی لا أَمْلِکُ لَکُمْ ضَرًّا وَلا رَشَدًا.21
قُلْ إِنِّی لَنْ یُجِیرَنِی مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِنْ دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا.22
إِلا بَلاغًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسَالاتِهِ وَمَنْ یَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِینَ فِیهَا أَبَدًا.23
حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا یُوعَدُونَ فَسَیَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا .24
قُلْ إِنْ أَدْرِی أَقَرِیبٌ مَا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ یَجْعَلُ لَهُ رَبِّی أَمَدًا .25
عَالِمُ الْغَیْبِ فَلا یُظْهِرُ عَلَى غَیْبِهِ أَحَدًا .26
إِلا مَنِ ارْتَضَى مِنْ رَسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ یَسْلُکُ مِنْ بَیْنِ یَدَیْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا .27
28.لِیَعْلَمَ أَنْ قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَیْهِمْ وَأَحْصَى کُلَّ شَیْءٍ عَدَدًا
Translation of Surah Al-Jinn in English
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1. Say: It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns listened (to the Qur’an). They said, ‘We have heard a wonderful Recital!
2.’It gives Guidance to the Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join (in worship) any (gods) with our Lord.
3.’And Exalted is the Majesty of our Lord: He has taken neither a wife nor a son.
4. Some foolish ones among us used to utter extravagant lies against Allah.
5.’But we think no man or spirit should say something untrue against Allah.
6.’True, there were persons among humanity who took shelter with persons among the Jinns, but they increased them in folly.
7.’And they (came to) think as ye thought, that Allah would not raise anyone (to Judgment).
8.’And we pried into the secrets of heaven, but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires.
9.’We used, indeed, to sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing, but any who listen now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.
10.’And we understand not whether ill is intended to those on earth or whether their Lord (really) intends to guide them to the proper conduct.
11.’There are among us some that are righteous and some the contrary: we follow divergent paths.
12.’But we think that we can by no means frustrate Allah throughout the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight.
13.’And as for us, since we have listened to the Guidance, we have accepted it: and any who believes in his Lord has no fear, either of a short (account) or of any injustice.
14.’Amongst us are some that submit their wills (to Allah., and some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their wills – have sought out (the path) of proper conduct:
15. But those who swerve- they are (but) fuel for Hell-fire-
16.(And Allah.s Message is): “If they (the Pagans) had (only) remained on the (right) Way, We should certainly have bestowed on them Rain in abundance.
17.”That We might try them by that (means). However, if any turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty.
18.” And the places of worship are for Allah (alone): So invoke not anyone along with Allah.
19.”Yet when the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd.”
20. Say: “I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god).”
21. Say: “It is not in my power to cause you harm or to bring you to right conduct.”
22. Say: “No one can deliver me from Allah (If I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him,
23.” Unless I proclaim what I receive from Allah and His Messages: for any that disobey Allah and His Messenger,- for them is Hell: they shall dwell therein forever.”
24. At length, when they see (with their own eyes) that which they are promised, they will know who is weakest in (his) helper and least important in point of numbers.
25. Say: “I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term.
26.”He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make anyone acquainted with His Mysteries-
27.” Except an apostle whom He has chosen: and then He makes a band of watchers march before him and behind him,
28.”That He may know that they have (truly) brought and delivered the Messages of their Lord: and He surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and takes account of every single thing.”
