Jinns (Al-Jinn)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, 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 our Lord is too exalted to have either a wife or son. 3 Certainly the foolish among us say preposterous things of God. 4 And lo! we had supposed that humankind and jinn would not speak a lie concerning Allah - 5 Some men used to seek refuge with the jinn in the past, but that only increased their insolence. 6 and that “they thought, even as you thought, that Allah would never raise anyone (as a Messenger)”; 7 'And we pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires. 8 we used to take up a position to listen, but whoever listens now finds a flaming fire lying in wait for him -- 9 'And we understand not whether ill is intended to those on earth, or whether their Lord (really) intends to guide them to right conduct. 10 and that “some of us are upright and some of us are otherwise for we follow widely divergent paths”; 11 'And we think that we cannot escape (from the punishment of) Allah in the earth, nor can we escape (from the punishment) by flight. 12 Now that we have listened to the guidance, we believe in it. Whoever believes in his Lord does not need to fear loss or oppression. 13 'And of us some are Muslims (who have submitted to Allah, after listening to this Quran), and of us some are Al-Qasitun (disbelievers those who have deviated from the Right Path)'. And whosoever has embraced Islam (i.e. has become a Muslim by submitting to Allah), then such have sought the Right Path." 14 And as for the deviators, for Hell they shall be fuel. 15 And had they kept to the path surely We would have watered them with rain plenteous. 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 slave of Allah stood up in prayer to Him, they crowded on him, almost stifling. 19
