Jinns (Al-Jinn)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
۞ SAY: "It has been revealed to me that some of the unseen beings gave ear [to this divine writ,] and thereupon said [unto their fellow-beings]: "'Verily, we have heard a wondrous discourse, 1 "which guides to the Right Way; so we have come to believe in it, and we will not associate aught with Our Lord in His Divinity”; 2 Exalted is the glory of our Lord; He has neither wife nor son. 3 And [now we know] that the foolish among us have been saying outrageous things about God. 4 And verily we! we had imagined that humankind and jinn would never forge against Allah a lie. 5 'True, there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the Jinns, but they increased them in folly. 6 and that “they thought, even as you thought, that Allah would never raise anyone (as a Messenger)”; 7 "We went near the heavens but found it to be full of strong guards and shooting flames. 8 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: 9 And that we know not whether evil is meant for those who are on earth or whether their Lord means to bring them good: 10 And that some of us are good and others of us are below that: we are sects following different ways: 11 ‘And we are certain that we cannot defeat Allah in the earth, nor can we run out of His grasp.’ 12 When we heard the Guidance, we believed in it, and whosoever believes in his Lord shall fear neither shortage nor injustice. 13 and that “among us some are Muslims (Those who have submitted to Allah), and some of us are deviant. So those who became Muslims found the Right Course; 14 And as for the Qasitun (disbelievers who deviated from the Right Path), they shall be firewood for Hell, 15 If they (the idolaters) tread the right path, We shall give them to drink of water in abundance 16 as a trial for them. God will make those who disregard the guidance from their Lord suffer increasing torment. 17 All the parts of the body to be placed on the ground during prostration belong to God. 18 And when the bondman of Allah stood calling upon Him, they well nigh pressed on him stifling. 19
