Surah Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya count 28
قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا
( 1 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 1 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 1](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur'an.
يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَن نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا
( 2 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 2 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 2](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.
وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا
( 3 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 3 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 3](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا
( 4 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 4 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 4](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And that our foolish one has been saying about Allah an excessive transgression.
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَن لَّن تَقُولَ الْإِنسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا
( 5 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 5 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 5](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie.
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا
( 6 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 6 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 6](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.
وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا كَمَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا
( 7 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 7 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 7](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And they had thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone [as a messenger].
وَأَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَاءَ فَوَجَدْنَاهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيدًا وَشُهُبًا
( 8 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 8 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 8](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.
وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَن يَسْتَمِعِ الْآنَ يَجِدْ لَهُ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًا
( 9 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 9 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 9](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him.
وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِي أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَن فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا
( 10 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 10 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 10](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course.
وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ ۖ كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا
( 11 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 11 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 11](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways.
وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّا أَن لَّن نُّعْجِزَ اللَّهَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَن نُّعْجِزَهُ هَرَبًا
( 12 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 12 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 12](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allah upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight.
وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدَىٰ آمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ فَمَن يُؤْمِن بِرَبِّهِ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا
( 13 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 13 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 13](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden.
وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ ۖ فَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ فَأُولَٰئِكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا
( 14 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 14 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 14](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allah], and among us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course.
وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا
( 15 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 15 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 15](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.'
وَأَن لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُم مَّاءً غَدَقًا
( 16 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 16 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 16](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And [Allah revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant provision
لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَن يُعْرِضْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا
( 17 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 17 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 17](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment.
وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا
( 18 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 18 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 18](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone.
وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا
( 19 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 19 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 19](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
And that when the Servant of Allah stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass."
قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَدْعُو رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا
( 20 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 20 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 20](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone."
قُلْ إِنِّي لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا رَشَدًا
( 21 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 21 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 21](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction."
قُلْ إِنِّي لَن يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ وَلَنْ أَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِ مُلْتَحَدًا
( 22 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 22 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 22](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge.
إِلَّا بَلَاغًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرِسَالَاتِهِ ۚ وَمَن يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا
( 23 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 23 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 23](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
But [I have for you] only notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.
حَتَّىٰ إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا
( 24 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 24 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 24](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
[The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number.
قُلْ إِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيبٌ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ رَبِّي أَمَدًا
( 25 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 25 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 25](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period."
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا
( 26 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 26 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 26](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
[He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone
إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا
( 27 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 27 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 27](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
Except whom He has approved of messengers, and indeed, He sends before each messenger and behind him observers
لِّيَعْلَمَ أَن قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا
( 28 ) ![English - Yusuf Ali - Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 28 Al-Jinn ( The Jinn ) - Aya 28](style/islamic/icons/mp3.png)
That he may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He has encompassed whatever is with them and has enumerated all things in number.
