Chapter 72 (Sura 72)
1; SAY: “I HAVE been informed that a number of jinns had listened; then said: ´We have heard the wondrous Qur´an,
2; Which guides to the right path; and we have come to believe in it, and will not associate any one with our Lord.
3; Exalted is the glory of our Lord; He has neither wife nor son.
4; Certainly the foolish among us say preposterous things of God.
5; We had in fact thought that men and jinns would never speak a lie about God,
6; But some men used to seek refuge with some jinns, and this increased their waywardness;
7; So they began to think, even as you do, that God would not resurrect any one.
8; We sought to pry into the secrets of the heavens, but found it full of fierce guards and shooting flames.
9; We sat in observatories to listen; but any one who listened found a shooting star in wait for him.
10; We do not know if this means ill for the dwellers of the earth, or their Lord wishes guidance for them.
11; For some of us are upright and some otherwise: Surely we follow different ways.
12; We realised that we could not weaken the power of God on earth, nor outpace Him by running away.
13; So when we heard the guidance we believed in it; and he who believes in his Lord will neither fear loss nor force.
14; Some of us have come to submission, and some of us are iniquitous.´” Those who have submitted have taken the right course;
15; But those who are iniquitous will be fuel for Hell.
16; (Say): “If they keep to the right path We shall give them water in abundance to drink
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.”
18; All places of worship are for God; so do not invoke any one with God.
19; When the devotee of God stood up to invoke Him (the jinns) crowded upon him (to listen).
20; Say: “I call on my Lord alone and I do not associate any one with Him.”
21; Say: “Neither is your loss within my power nor bringing you to guidance.”
22; Say: “No one can save me from God, nor can I find a place of refuge apart from Him,
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;
24; Until they see what they are promised, when they will understand who is weaker in aid and poorer in numbers.
25; Say: “I do not know if what is promised you is near, or if my Lord prolongs its term.
26; He is the knower of the Unknown, and He does not divulge His secret to any one
27; Other than an apostle He has chosen, when He makes a sentinel walk in front of him and a sentinel behind,
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.
