| 72:1 | | Say, “It was revealed unto me that a group of jinn listened, and said, ‘Truly we have heard a wondrous Qura |
| 72:2 | | that guides to sound judgment; so we believe in it and will ascribe none as partner unto our Lord |
| 72:3 | | And He—exalted be the Majesty of our Lord—has neither consort nor child |
| 72:4 | | Truly the fool among us has uttered outrages against God |
| 72:5 | | though we had thought that mankind and jinn would not utter lies regarding God |
| 72:6 | | Indeed, individuals among mankind did seek refuge with individuals among the jinn, and so increased them in oppression |
| 72:7 | | They thought, as did you, that God would resurrect no one |
| 72:8 | | We reached out to Heaven and found it filled with mighty sentries and flaming stars |
| 72:9 | | We used to sit in places thereof to listen, but whosoever listens now finds a flaming star lying in wait for him |
| 72:10 | | We do not know whether evil is desired for those upon the earth, or whether their Lord desires guidance for them |
| 72:11 | | Some among us are righteous, and some among us are otherwise; we are on paths divided |
| 72:12 | | We knew for certain that we could never thwart God on earth; nor could we ever thwart Him by fleeing |
| 72:13 | | And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it, for whosoever believes in his Lord shall fear neither detraction nor oppression |
| 72:14 | | Some among us submit and some among us are unjust; those who submit seek guidance |
| 72:15 | | and as for the unjust, they are kindling for Hell.’ |
| 72:16 | | And [say], “[It was revealed unto me] that if they hold firm to the path, We shall give them abundant water |
| 72:17 | | that We may try them therewith, and whosoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He leads him to a grievous punishment |
| 72:18 | | and that places of worship are for God; so do not call upon another alongside God |
| 72:19 | | and that when the servant of God rises to call upon Him, they well-nigh swarm upon him. |
| 72:20 | | Say, “I call only upon my Lord, and I ascribe none as a partner unto Him. |
| 72:21 | | Say, “I have no power over what harm or guidance may come to you. |
| 72:22 | | Say, “None will protect me from God, and I shall never find refuge apart from Hi |
| 72:23 | | if I do not convey from God and His messages. And whosoever disobeys God and His Messenger, his shall be the Fire of Hell, abiding therein forever |
| 72:24 | | such that when they see what they are promised, they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. |
| 72:25 | | Say, “I know not whether that which you are promised is nigh or whether my Lord has appointed a term |
| 72:26 | | Knower of the Unseen, He does not disclose His Unseen to anyone |
| 72:27 | | save to the one whom He approves as a messenger. Then He dispatches before him and behind him a guard |
| 72:28 | | that He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord. And He encompasses whatsoever is with them and keeps a numbered count of all things. |
