Surah “The Jinn”

as rendered by Zulfiquar Ali Bhotto — 28 verses

Say [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and they said [to fooled jinns], `Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur'an.
It guides to the right way, so we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.
And that He, exalted is the majesty of our Lord, He has not taken a female friend nor a son
And that he, our fooled one was saying over Allah a preposterous lie.
And that we, we thought that the men and the jinn would not say over Allah a lie.
And that it, it was persons from the humankind who were seeking refuge in the persons from the jinnkind. So they [the persons from the humankind] increased themselves in rebellion [against belief in the hereafter].
And that they, [the persons from humankind] had thought as you [persons from jinnkind] thought, that Allah will resurrect no one [i.e., no hereafter, Qur'an 6:112-113].
And that we, we touched the heaven, so we found it filled with strong guards and shooting stars.
And that we, we were sitting thereof, in sitting positions for the listening, but whoever [of you] listens now will find for him a shooting star waiting.
And that we, we do not know, if an evil is wanted by whoever is in the earth [motivating for Qur'an 72:5] or their Lord wants over them, a well guarded guidance.
And that we, from us are the righteous, and from us are other than that; we were of divergent ways.
And that we, we assumed that we can neither defeat Allah in the earth, nor can we defeat Him by flight.
And that we, when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. So whoever believes in his Lord, so he will not fear loss nor confusion.
And that we, from us are the submitters [as per Qur'an 72:13], and from us are the unjust. And whoever has submitted, then those have sought out a well guarded guidance.
But as for the unjust, so they were for Hell, firewood."
And [say O Muhammad] that, "If they [Meccans] straightened [themselves] upon the way [training], surely We would have given them to drink plenty of delicious water
To self-test them therein. And whoever turns away from the reminder of his Lord, He will make him enter into intense punishment.
And that the masjids are only for Allah, so [O muslims] do not call with Allah, anyone.
And that he, when the slave of Allah straightened his call [as per Qur'an 72:18], they [pagans] almost became against him a compact mass."
Say [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone."
Say, "Indeed, I do not own for you any harm nor right guidance."
Say, "Indeed, no one can save me from Allah, nor can I find in other than Him, a refuge.
Except [of having for you] a notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, for sure, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever.
[The infidels continue] until, when they saw what they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in numbers.
Say, "I do not know if what you are promised is coming shortly or if my Lord will set up for it a far long period."
Knower of the unseen and He does not disclose upon His unseen, anyone;
Except whoever of a messenger He is pleased with, and indeed, He deploys from between his hands and from behind him, a guard angel
That He may know that they have indeed conveyed the messages of their Lord; and He encompasses by what is with them and has enumerated everything in numbers.
