Say (O Muhammad): It is revealed unto me that a company of the Jinn gave ear, and they said: Lo! we have heard a marvellous Qur'an,
Qul oohiya ilaiya annna hustama'a nafarum minal jinnni faqaalooo innaa sami'naa quraanan 'ajabaa
Which guideth unto righteousness, so we believe in it and we ascribe no partner unto our Lord.
Yahdeee ilar rushdi fa aamannaa bihee wa lan nushrika bi rabbinaaa ahadaa
And (we believe) that He - exalted be the glory of our Lord! - hath taken neither wife nor son,
Wa annahoo Ta'aalaa jaddu Rabbinaa mat takhaza saahibatanw wa la waladaa
And that the foolish one among us used to speak concerning Allah an atrocious lie.
Wa annahoo kaana yaqoolu safeehunaa 'alal laahi shatataa
And lo! we had supposed that humankind and jinn would not speak a lie concerning Allah -
Wa annaa zanannaaa al lan taqoolal insu wal jinnu 'alal laahi kazibaa
And indeed (O Muhammad) individuals of humankind used to invoke the protection of individuals of the jinn, so that they increased them in revolt against Allah);
Wa annahoo kaana rijaa lum minal insi ya'oozoona birijaalim minal jinni fazaa doohum rahaqaa
And indeed they supposed, even as ye suppose, that Allah would not raise anyone (from the dead) -
Wa annahum zannoo kamaa zanantum al lany yab'asal laahu ahadaa
And (the Jinn who had listened to the Qur'an said): We had sought the heaven but had found it filled with strong warders and meteors.
Wa annaa lamasnas sa maaa'a fa wajadnaahaa muli'at harasan shadeedanw wa shuhubaa
And we used to sit on places (high) therein to listen. But he who listeneth now findeth a flame in wait for him;
Wa annaa kunnaa naq'udu minhaa maqaa'ida lis'sam'i famany yastami'il aana yajid lahoo shihaabar rasada
And we know not whether harm is boded unto all who are in the earth, or whether their Lord intendeth guidance for them.
Wa annaa laa nadreee asharrun ureeda biman fil ardi am araada bihim rabbuhum rashadaa
And among us there are righteous folk and among us there are far from that. We are sects having different rules.
Wa annaa minnas saalihoona wa minnaa doona zaalika kunnaa taraaa'ilqa qidadaa
And we know that we cannot escape from Allah in the earth, nor can we escape by flight.
Wa annaa zanannaaa al lan nu'jizal laaha fil ardi wa lan nu'jizahoo harabaa
And when we heard the guidance, we believed therein, and whoso believeth in his Lord, he feareth neither loss nor oppression.
Wa annaa lammaa sami'nal hudaaa aamannaa bihee famany yu'mim bi rabbihee falaa yakhaafu bakhsanw wa laa rahaqaa
And there are among us some who have surrendered (to Allah) and there are among us some who are unjust. And whoso hath surrendered to Allah, such have taken the right path purposefully.
Wa annaa minnal muslimoona wa minnal qaasitoona faman aslama fa ulaaa'ika taharraw rashadaa
And as for those who are unjust, they are firewood for hell.
Wa ammal qaasitoona fa kaanoo li jahannama hatabaa
If they (the idolaters) tread the right path, We shall give them to drink of water in abundance
Wa alla wis taqaamoo 'alat tareeqati la asqaynaahum maa'an ghadaqaa
That We may test them thereby, and whoso turneth away from the remembrance of his Lord; He will thrust him into ever-growing torment.
Linaftinahum feeh; wa many yu'rid 'an zikri rabbihee yasluk hu 'azaaban sa'adaa
And the places of worship are only for Allah, so pray not unto anyone along with Allah.
Wa annal masaajida lillaahi falaa tad'oo ma'al laahi ahadaa
And when the slave of Allah stood up in prayer to Him, they crowded on him, almost stifling.
Wa annahoo lammaa qaama 'adul laahi yad'oohu kaadoo yakoonoona 'alaihi libadaa
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I pray unto Allah only, and ascribe unto Him no partner.
Qul innamaaa ad'oo rabbee wa laaa ushriku biheee ahadaa
Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you.
Qul innee laaa amliku lakum darranw wa laa rashadaa
Say: Lo! none can protect me from Allah, nor can I find any refuge beside Him
Qul innee lany yujeeranee minal laahi ahad, wa lan ajida min doonihee multahadaa
(Mine is) but conveyance (of the Truth) from Allah, and His messages; and whoso disobeyeth Allah and His messenger, lo! his is fire of hell, wherein such dwell for ever.
Illaa balaagham minal laahi wa risaalaatih; wa many ya'sil laaha wa rasoolahoo fa inna lahoo naara jahannama khaalideena feehaaa abadaa
Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude.
Hattaaa izaa ra aw maa yoo'adoona fasaya'lamoona man ad'afu naasiranw wa aqallu 'adadaa
Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): I know not whether that which ye are promised is nigh, or if my Lord hath set a distant term for it.
Qul in adreee a qareebum maa too'adoona am yaj'alu lahoo rabbeee amadaa
(He is) the Knower of the Unseen, and He revealeth unto none His secret,
'Aalimul ghaibi falaa yuzhiru alaa ghaibiheee ahadaa
Save unto every messenger whom He hath chosen, and then He maketh a guard to go before him and a guard behind him
Illaa manir tadaa mir rasoolin fa innahoo yasluku mim baini yadihi wa min khalfihee rasadaa
That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. He surroundeth all their doings, and He keepeth count of all things.
Liya'lama an qad ablaghoo risaalaati rabbihim wa ahaata bima ladihim wa ahsaa kulla shai'in 'adadaa
