Sura 72 The Jinn (Al-Jinn)

In the name of God, the Almighty, the Merciful.

[72:1] Say, "It was inspired to me that a group of jinn listened, then said, 'We have heard an amazing Quran

[72:2] that guides to the correctness, so we believed in it, and we will not associate anyone with our Lord.

[72:3] And that exalted is the Majesty of our Lord. He has not taken a wife or a son.

[72:4] And that the foolish one amongst us used to utter outrageous falsehood about God,

[72:5] though we had thought that neither the humans nor the jinn would utter lies about God.

[72:6] And there were men among the humans who used to seek refuge in men from among the jinn, but they increased them in burden.

[72:7] And they thought, just like you thought, that God would not resurrect anyone.

[72:8] And we felt our way through the heaven and found it filled with fierce guards and projectiles.

[72:9] And we used to sit there in listening positions, but whoever listens in now will find a projectile pursuing him.

[72:10] And we do not know whether evil is intended for those in the earth, or if their Lord wills for them the guidance.

[72:11] And among us are the righteous, and among us are other than that. We have been following different paths.

[72:12] And we realised that we cannot thwart God in the earth, nor can we thwart Him by running away.

[72:13] And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. Anyone who believes in his Lord should not fear any deprivation or burden.

[72:14] And among us are Submitters, and among us are the deviators. As for those who have submitted, they have indeed sought out the guidance.

[72:15] As for the deviators, they will be firewood for Hell.' "

[72:16] Had they been straight and upright on the path, We would have provided them with abundant water

Footnote 72:16 – Abundance of water, particularly rainwater, is a sign of great blessings since all provisions that come out of the earth depend on water for life and growth.
