   قُلْ أُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ ٱسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْءَانًا عَجَبًا ۝١ayah 1

   Say, “It was revealed to me that a band of jinn listened in, and said, ‘We have heard a wondrous Quran.

2. 2

   يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلرُّشْدِ فَـَٔامَنَّا بِهِۦ ۖ وَلَن نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَدًا ۝٢ayah 2

   It guides to rectitude, so we have believed in it; and we will never associate anyone with our Lord.

3. 3

   وَأَنَّهُۥ تَعَـٰلَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا ٱتَّخَذَ صَـٰحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا ۝٣ayah 3

   And Exalted is the Grandeur of our Lord—He never had a mate, nor a child.

4. 4

   وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ شَطَطًا ۝٤ayah 4

   But the fools among us used to say nonsense about Allah.

   وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ ٱلْإِنسُ وَٱلْجِنُّ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا ۝٥ayah 5

   And we thought that humans and jinn would never utter lies about Allah.

6. 6

   وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ ٱلْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا ۝٦ayah 6

   Some individual humans used to seek power through some individual jinn, but they only increased them in confusion.

   We probed the heaven, and found it filled with stern guards and projectiles.

9. 9

   وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَـٰعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِ ۖ فَمَن يَسْتَمِعِ ٱلْـَٔانَ يَجِدْ لَهُۥ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًا ۝٩ayah 9

   We used to take up positions to listen in; but whoever listens now finds a projectile in wait for him.

10. 10

    وَأَنَّا لَا نَدْرِىٓ أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَمْ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًا ۝١٠ayah 10

    We do not know whether ill is intended for those on earth, or if their Lord intends goodness for them.

11. 11

    Some of us are righteous, but some of us are less than that; we follow divergent paths.

12. 12

    وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن نُّعْجِزَ ٱللَّهَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَن نُّعْجِزَهُۥ هَرَبًا ۝١٢ayah 12

    We realized that we cannot defeat Allah on earth, and that we cannot escape Him by fleeing.

13. 13

    وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦ ۖ فَمَن يُؤْمِنۢ بِرَبِّهِۦ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَلَا رَهَقًا ۝١٣ayah 13

    Had they kept true to the Path, We would have given them plenty water to drink.

17. 17

    لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَن يُعْرِضْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِۦ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا ۝١٧ayah 17

    To test them with it. Whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will direct him to torment ever mounting.

    The places of worship are for Allah. So do not call, besides Allah, upon anyone else.

19. 19

    وَأَنَّهُۥ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ ٱللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا۟ يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا ۝١٩ayah 19

    And when the servant of Allah got up calling on Him, they almost fell on him in a mass.

    Except for a proclamation from Allah and His messages. He who defies Allah and His Messenger—for him is the Fire of Hell, in which they will dwell forever.”

24. 24

    حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوْا۟ مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا ۝٢٤ayah 24
