Surah “The Jinn”

as rendered by The Study Quran — 28 verses

Say, “It was revealed unto me that a group of jinn listened, and said, ‘Truly we have heard a wondrous Quran
that guides to sound judgment; so we believe in it and will ascribe none as partner unto our Lord
And He—exalted be the Majesty of our Lord—has neither consort nor child
Truly the fool among us has uttered outrages against God
though we had thought that mankind and jinn would not utter lies regarding God
Indeed, individuals among mankind did seek refuge with individuals among the jinn, and so increased them in oppression
They thought, as did you, that God would resurrect no one
We reached out to Heaven and found it filled with mighty sentries and flaming stars
We used to sit in places thereof to listen, but whosoever listens now finds a flaming star lying in wait for him
We do not know whether evil is desired for those upon the earth, or whether their Lord desires guidance for them
Some among us are righteous, and some among us are otherwise; we are on paths divided
We knew for certain that we could never thwart God on earth; nor could we ever thwart Him by fleeing
And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it, for whosoever believes in his Lord shall fear neither detraction nor oppression
Some among us submit and some among us are unjust; those who submit seek guidance
and as for the unjust, they are kindling for Hell.’
And [say], “[It was revealed unto me] that if they hold firm to the path, We shall give them abundant water
that We may try them therewith, and whosoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He leads him to a grievous punishment
and that places of worship are for God; so do not call upon another alongside God
and that when the servant of God rises to call upon Him, they well-nigh swarm upon him.
Say, “I call only upon my Lord, and I ascribe none as a partner unto Him.
Say, “I have no power over what harm or guidance may come to you.
Say, “None will protect me from God, and I shall never find refuge apart from Hi
if I do not convey from God and His messages. And whosoever disobeys God and His Messenger, his shall be the Fire of Hell, abiding therein forever
such that when they see what they are promised, they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number.
Say, “I know not whether that which you are promised is nigh or whether my Lord has appointed a term
Knower of the Unseen, He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone
save to the one whom He approves as a messenger. Then He dispatches before him and behind him a guard
that He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. And He encompasses whatsoever is with them and keeps a numbered count of all things.
