۞ قُلۡ أُوحِیَ إِلَیَّ أَنَّهُ ٱسۡتَمَعَ نَفَرࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ فَقَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّا سَمِعۡنَا قُرۡءَانًا عَجَبࣰا ۝١
MunirMezyed2023
Say: "It has been revealed to me that a group of the Jinn listened (attentively to the recitation of the Qurʾān). (When returning back to their fellow jinn), they said: “Most surely we have heard an extraordinary recitation:
qul ūḥiya ilayya annahu is'tamaʿa nafarun mina l-jini faqālū innā samiʿ'nā qur'ānan ʿajaba
72:2 ›
یَهۡدِیۤ إِلَى ٱلرُّشۡدِ فَءَامَنَّا بِهِۦۖ وَلَن نُّشۡرِكَ بِرَبِّنَاۤ أَحَدࣰا ۝٢
MunirMezyed2023
The Qurʾān leads to righteousness. Since we have affirm our Faith in It, we shall never join in worship anyone or anything with our Lord.

72:3 ›

MunirMezyed2023
Now, we come to believe that our Lord- Exalted is His Majesty- has not taken a wife or a son.
wa-annahu taʿālā jaddu rabbinā mā ittakhadha ṣāḥibatan walā walada
72:4 ›
وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ یَقُولُ سَفِیهُنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ شَطَطࣰا ۝٤
MunirMezyed2023
Surely the imprudent one (-Iblis-) among us used to utter blasphemous words against Allâh.
wa-annahu kāna yaqūlu safīhunā ʿalā l-lahi shaṭaṭa
72:5 ›
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ ٱلۡإِنسُ وَٱلۡجِنُّ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبࣰا ۝٥
MunirMezyed2023
Surely we thought that mankind and Jinn would never venture to attribute falsehood to Allâh.
wa-annā ẓanannā an lan taqūla l-insu wal-jinu ʿalā l-lahi kadhiba
72:6 ›
وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالࣱ مِّنَ ٱلۡإِنسِ یَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمۡ رَهَقࣰا ۝٦
MunirMezyed2023
Most certainly some men used to seek refuge with certain individuals of the jinn so they made them bear their iniquities.
wa-annahu kāna rijālun mina l-insi yaʿūdhūna birijālin mina l-jini fazādūhum rahaqa
72:7 ›
وَأَنَّهُمۡ ظَنُّوا۟ كَمَا ظَنَنتُمۡ أَن لَّن یَبۡعَثَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدࣰا ۝٧
MunirMezyed2023
Verily, those who persistently refused to yield to the Truth among mankind thought as we thought that Allâh would never send any Messenger.
wa-annahum ẓannū kamā ẓanantum an lan yabʿatha l-lahu aḥada
72:8 ›
وَأَنَّا لَمَسۡنَا ٱلسَّمَاۤءَ فَوَجَدۡنَـٰهَا مُلِئَتۡ حَرَسࣰا شَدِیدࣰا وَشُهُبࣰا ۝٨
MunirMezyed2023
And we have tried to reach out to the heavens, but we found it filled with vigorous guards and meteors.
wa-annā lamasnā l-samāa fawajadnāhā muli-at ḥarasan shadīdan washuhuba
72:9 ›
وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقۡعُدُ مِنۡهَا مَقَـٰعِدَ لِلسَّمۡعِۖ فَمَن یَسۡتَمِعِ ٱلۡءَانَ یَجِدۡ لَهُۥ شِهَابࣰا رَّصَدࣰا ۝٩
MunirMezyed2023
We used, indeed, to sit in some of its seats and try to listen. But whoever tries to listen will find a meteor lying in wait form him.

72:10 ›
وَأَنَّا لَا نَدۡرِیۤ أَشَرٌّ أُرِیدَ بِمَن فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمۡ أَرَادَ بِهِمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ رَشَدࣰا ۝١٠
MunirMezyed2023
We certainly do not know whether evil awaits those who are on the earth, or whether their Lord intends to lead them to righteousness.
wa-annā lā nadrī asharrun urīda biman fī l-arḍi am arāda bihim rabbuhum rashada
72:11 ›
وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلصَّـٰلِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَ ٰلِكَۖ كُنَّا طَرَاۤىِٕقَ قِدَدࣰا ۝١١
MunirMezyed2023

72:12 ›
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ أَن لَّن نُّعۡجِزَ ٱللَّهَ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَن نُّعۡجِزَهُۥ هَرَبࣰا ۝١٢
MunirMezyed2023
Now we have come to know that we could never frustrate the power of Allâh on the earth, neither could we frustrate His power by flight.

MunirMezyed2023
After hearing the Qur'ānic Verses, we do believe in It. Whoever has Faith in his Lord should not fear deprivation or injustice.
wa-annā lammā samiʿ'nā l-hudā āmannā bihi faman yu'min birabbihi falā yakhāfu bakhsan walā rahaqa
72:14 ›

MunirMezyed2023
And some of us have wholly submitted (to the authority of Allâh), and some of us have deviated from the path of Truth. So as for those who wholly submit themselves completely to Allâh, it is they who have sought rectitude.
wa-annā minnā l-mus'limūna waminnā l-qāsiṭūna faman aslama fa-ulāika taḥarraw rashada
72:15 ›
وَأَمَّا ٱلۡقَـٰسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا۟ لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبࣰا ۝١٥
MunirMezyed2023
But those who deviate from the path of truth are the firewood for Gehenna.”
wa-ammā l-qāsiṭūna fakānū lijahannama ḥaṭaba
72:16 ›
وَأَلَّوِ ٱسۡتَقَـٰمُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِیقَةِ لَأَسۡقَیۡنَـٰهُم مَّاۤءً غَدَقࣰا ۝١٦
MunirMezyed2023
If they-(the Pagan Arabs)-followed the right path, We would certainly give to them abundant water to drink,
wa-allawi is'taqāmū ʿalā l-ṭarīqati la-asqaynāhum māan ghadaqa
72:17 ›
لِّنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ فِیهِۚ وَمَن یُعۡرِضۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِۦ یَسۡلُكۡهُ عَذَابࣰا صَعَدࣰا ۝١٧
MunirMezyed2023
So that We may tempt them with it. But if it happens that anyone turns away from celebrating the praise of his Lord and declaring His glory, He will cause him to be subjected to a severe chastisement.
linaftinahum fīhi waman yuʿ'riḍ ʿan dhik'ri rabbihi yasluk'hu ʿadhāban ṣaʿada
72:18 ›
وَأَنَّ ٱلۡمَسَـٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدۡعُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدࣰا ۝١٨
MunirMezyed2023
Mosques are meant only for Allâh, so do not invoke anyone along with Allâh.
wa-anna l-masājida lillahi falā tadʿū maʿa l-lahi aḥada
72:19 ›
وَأَنَّهُۥ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ یَدۡعُوهُ كَادُوا۟ یَكُونُونَ عَلَیۡهِ لِبَدࣰا ۝١٩
MunirMezyed2023
Yet when the Obedient Devotee of Allâh stood up supplicating and praying to Allâh, the Jinn crowded closely together around him.
wa-annahu lammā qāma ʿabdu l-lahi yadʿūhu kādū yakūnūna ʿalayhi libada

MunirMezyed2023
I can do no more than I deliver what I receive from Allâh and His Messages. Whoever refuses to comply (with the command of) Allâh and (with what He has revealed to) His Messenger, for him is the Fire of Gehenna- therein they shall dwell forever.
illā balāghan mina l-lahi warisālātihi waman yaʿṣi l-laha warasūlahu fa-inna lahu nāra jahannama khālidīna fīhā abada

عَـٰلِمُ ٱلۡغَیۡبِ فَلَا یُظۡهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَیۡبِهِۦۤ أَحَدًا ۝٢٦
