Surah Al Jin With English Translations

قُلْ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیَّ اَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوْۤا اِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْاٰنًا عَجَبًا(1)

Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard a marvelous Qur'an. (1)

یَّهْدِیْۤ اِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَاٰمَنَّا بِهٖؕ-وَ لَنْ نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَاۤ اَحَدًا(2)

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone. (2)

وَّ اَنَّهٗ تَعٰلٰى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَّ لَا وَلَدًا(3)

And [we believe] that He - exalted be the majesty of our Lord - has taken neither a wife nor a child (3)

وَّ اَنَّهٗ كَانَ یَقُوْلُ سَفِیْهُنَا عَلَى اللّٰهِ شَطَطًا(4)

And that our foolish [among us] used to say about Allah an enormity. (4)

وَّ اَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ اَنْ لَّنْ تَقُوْلَ الْاِنْسُ وَ الْجِنُّ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا(5)

But we thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie. (5)

وَّ اَنَّهٗ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْاِنْسِ یَعُوْذُوْنَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوْهُمْ رَهَقًا(6)

And that [in the past] there were men among mankind who sought refuge in men among the jinn, so they [the jinn] increased them in burden. (6)

وَّ اَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوْا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنْ لَّنْ یَّبْعَثَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدًا(7)

And they had thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone [as a messenger]. (7)

وَّ اَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدْنٰهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِیْدًا وَّ شُهُبًا(8)

And we touched the sky, but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames. (8)

وَّ اَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِؕ-فَمَنْ یَّسْتَمِعِ الْاٰنَ یَجِدْ لَهٗ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًا(9)

And we used to sit there in places for listening, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him. (9)

وَّ اَنَّا لَا نَدْرِیْۤ اَشَرٌّ اُرِیْدَ بِمَنْ فِی الْاَرْضِ اَمْ اَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا(10)

And we do not know [whether] evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course. (10)

وَّ اَنَّا مِنَّا الصّٰلِحُوْنَ وَ مِنَّا دُوْنَ ذٰلِكَؕ-كُنَّا طَرَآىٕقَ قِدَدًا(11)

And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so righteous. We have been of different ways. (11)

وَّ اَنَّا ظَنَنَّاۤ اَنْ لَّنْ نُّعْجِزَ اللّٰهَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ لَنْ نُّعْجِزَهٗ هَرَبًا(12)

And we knew that we could never cause failure to Allah upon the earth, nor could we escape Him by flight. (12)

وَّ اَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدٰۤى اٰمَنَّا بِهٖؕ-فَمَنْ یُّؤْمِنْۢ بِرَبِّهٖ فَلَا یَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَّ لَا رَهَقًا(13)

And [we believe] that when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. So whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden. (13)

وَّ اَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُوْنَ وَ مِنَّا الْقٰسِطُوْنَؕ-فَمَنْ اَسْلَمَ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا(14)

And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allah], and among us are the deviators. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course. (14)

وَ اَمَّا الْقٰسِطُوْنَ فَكَانُوْا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا(15)

But as for the deviators - they will be fuel for Hell." (15)

وَّ اَنْ لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوْا عَلَى الطَّرِیْقَةِ لَاَسْقَیْنٰهُمْ مَّآءً غَدَقًا(16)

لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِیْهِؕ-وَ مَنْ یُّعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهٖ یَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا(17)

That We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord - He will put him into severe punishment. (17)

وَّ اَنَّ الْمَسٰجِدَ لِلّٰهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوْا مَعَ اللّٰهِ اَحَدًا(18)

And [the jinn said], "And [know] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke anyone along with Allah. (18)

وَّ اَنَّهٗ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ یَدْعُوْهُ كَادُوْا یَكُوْنُوْنَ عَلَیْهِ لِبَدًا(19)

And that when the servant of Allah [Muhammad] stood up invoking Him, they almost became about him a dense mass." (19)

قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَدْعُوْا رَبِّیْ وَ لَاۤ اُشْرِكُ بِهٖۤ اَحَدًا(20)

Say, "I only invoke my Lord, and I do not associate with Him anyone." (20)

قُلْ اِنِّیْ لَاۤ اَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ ضَرًّا وَّ لَا رَشَدًا(21)

Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or any right course." (21)

قُلْ اِنِّیْ لَنْ یُّجِیْرَنِیْ مِنَ اللّٰهِ اَحَدٌ ﳔ وَّ لَنْ اَجِدَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖ مُلْتَحَدًا(22)

Say, "Indeed, no one can protect me from Allah, nor will I find besides Him any refuge. (22)

اِلَّا بَلٰغًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ رِسٰلٰتِهٖؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّعْصِ اللّٰهَ وَ رَسُوْلَهٗ فَاِنَّ لَهٗ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاۤ اَبَدًاﭤ(23)

[My duty is] only conveyance 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." (23)

حَتّٰۤى اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا یُوْعَدُوْنَ فَسَیَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ اَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَّ اَقَلُّ عَدَدًا(24)

[They will not believe] until they see what they are promised, and then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. (24)

قُلْ اِنْ اَدْرِیْۤ اَقَرِیْبٌ مَّا تُوْعَدُوْنَ اَمْ یَجْعَلُ لَهٗ رَبِّیْۤ اَمَدًا(25)

Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is near or if my Lord will grant for it a [long] period. (25)

عٰلِمُ الْغَیْبِ فَلَا یُظْهِرُ عَلٰى غَیْبِهٖۤ اَحَدًا(26)

[He is] the Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His unseen to anyone (26)

اِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضٰى مِنْ رَّسُوْلٍ فَاِنَّهٗ یَسْلُكُ مِنْۢ بَیْنِ یَدَیْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهٖ رَصَدًا(27)

Except to a messenger whom He has chosen, and indeed, He makes to proceed before him and behind him sentinels (27)

لِّیَعْلَمَ اَنْ قَدْ اَبْلَغُوْا رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ اَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَیْهِمْ وَ اَحْصٰى كُلَّ شَیْءٍ عَدَدًا(28)

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. (28)
