The Qur'an
(Koran) - M. H. Shakir |
|
|
In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[72.1] Say: It
has been revealed to me that a party
of the jinn listened, and they said:
Surely we have heard a wonderful
Quran,
[72.2] Guiding to the right
way, so we believe in it, and we
will not set up any one with our
Lord:
[72.3] And that He-- exalted
be the majesty of our Lord-- has not
taken a consort, nor a son:
[72.4] And that the foolish
amongst us used to forge extravagant
things against Allah:
[72.5] And that we thought
that men and jinn did not utter a
lie against Allah:
[72.6] And that persons from
among men used to seek refuge with
persons from among jinn, so they
increased them in wrongdoing:
[72.7] And that they thought
as you think, that Allah would not
raise anyone:
[72.8] And that we sought to
reach heaven, but we found it filled
with strong guards and flaming
stars.
[72.9] And that we used to
sit in some of the sitting-places
thereof to steal a hearing, but he
who would (try to) listen now would
find a flame lying in wait for him:
[72.10] And that we know not
whether evil is meant for those who
are on earth or whether their Lord
means to bring them good:
[72.11] And that some of us
are good and others of us are below
that: we are sects following
different ways:
[72.12] And that we know that
we cannot escape Allah in the earth,
nor can we escape Him by flight:
[72.13] And that when we
heard the guidance, we believed in
it; so whoever believes in his Lord,
he should neither fear loss nor
being overtaken (by disgrace):
[72.14] And that some of us
are those who submit, and some of us
are the deviators; so whoever
submits, these aim at the right way:
[72.15] And as to the
deviators, they are fuel of hell:
[72.16] And that if they
should keep to the (right) way, We
would certainly give them to drink
of abundant water,
[72.17] So that We might try
them with respect to it; and whoever
turns aside from the reminder of his
Lord, He will make him enter into an
afflicting chastisement:
[72.18] And that the mosques
are Allah's, therefore call not upon
any one with Allah:
[72.19] And that when the
servant of Allah stood up calling
upon Him, they well-nigh crowded him
(to death).
[72.20] Say: I only call upon
my Lord, and I do not associate any
one with Him.
[72.21] Say: I do not control
for you evil or good.
[72.22] Say: Surely no one
can protect me against Allah, nor
can I find besides Him any place of
refuge:
[72.23] (It is) only a
delivering (of communications) from
Allah and His messages; and whoever
disobeys Allah and His Apostle
surely he shall have the fire of
hell to abide therein for a long
time.
[72.24] Until when they see
what they are threatened with, then
shall they know who is weaker in
helpers and fewer in number.
[72.25] Say: I do not know
whether that with which you are
threatened be nigh or whether my
Lord will appoint for it a term:
[72.26] The Knower of the
unseen! so He does not reveal His
secrets to any,
[72.27] Except to him whom He
chooses as an apostle; for surely He
makes a guard to march before him
and after him,
[72.28] So that He may know
that they have truly delivered the
messages of their Lord, and He
encompasses what is with them and He
records the number of all things. |
