72. THE JINN
The Jinn
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. 1. Say: It is communicated to me that a party of the jinn heard (the Quran) and said, We have heard a wonderful Quran. 2. It guides to the right way, so we have believed in it and we will never associate any partner with our Fosterer. 3. And Exalted be the Majesty of our Fosterer, He has not taken a wife or a son. 4. And the foolish among us used to say unjust (things) about Allah. 5. And we thought that mankind and jinn never speak a lie against Allah. 6. And persons from among human beings used to seek protection of persons from among the jinn so they increased them in error. 7. And they (too) thought as you thought that Allah will never raise anyone (to life after death). 8. And we searched the sky but found it filled with strong guards and flames. 9. And we used to sit in some of the sitting places thereof to hear, but now whoever hears, he finds a flame waiting for him. 10. And we do not know whether evil is intended for those who are in the earth or their Fosterer intends (to guide) them to the right way. 11. And among us are those who are righteous and among us (are those who are) other than that, we are sects following different traditions. 12. And we know that we can neither defeat Allah in the earth nor can we defeat Him by flight.

The Jinn
13. And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it, so whoever believes in his Fosterer, he should neither fear loss nor error. 14. And among us are those who have submitted (as Muslims) and among us are those who are unjust. So those who have submitted (as Muslims) such have taken to the right way. 15. And as for those who are unjust, they are the fuel for hell. 16. And if they establish (themselves) on (the right) tradition We would give them to drink abundant water 17. so that We may test them thereby, and whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Fosterer He will cause him to enter severe punishment. 18. And the mosques are Allah's so do not pray to anyone (else along) with Allah. 19. And when the servant of Allah stood up to pray to Him they almost crowded over him. (R 1)
20. Say, I pray only to my Fosterer and I do not associate anyone with Him. 21. Say, I certainly do not control for you anything, wrong or right. 22. Say, None can ever protect me against Allah and I can never find besides Him, (any source of) refuge, 23. (my duty is nothing) but to convey (the communications) from Allah and His messages, and whoever disobeys Allah and His messenger, then for such, there is certainly the fire of hell, in which they will stay forever. 24. (The infidels will not believe) till (the time) when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and lesser in number. 25. Say, I do not know whether that which you are promised is nearer or whether my Fosterer has made its (time of happening) far off.

The Jinn
26. Knower of the unseen, but He does not reveal His unseen to anyone, 27. except to a messenger whom He chooses, but He makes one who is watchful, to move before him and behind him, 28. that He may know (mark out) that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Fosterer. And He encompasses all that is with them and He computes the number of everything. (R2)
