In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
1. Say, “It was revealed to me that a band of jinn listened, then declared, ‘We heard an amazing Quran.
2. It guides towards righteousness, so we have believed in it, and we won’t associate anyone with our Lord.
3. And exalted is the majesty of our Lord; He has not taken a female friend, nor a son.
4. Yet, the foolish among us have spoken nonsense about God.
5. We had thought that mankind and the jinn would never utter lies against God.
6. Certain humans used to seek help from the men of the jinn, which only exacerbated their fear and fatigue.
7. And they had presumed, as you presumed, that God would not resurrect anyone.
8. We probed the heavens and found them with stern guards and flaming meteors.
9. We used to occupy places there to eavesdrop. But now, whoever attempts to listen finds a blazing meteor lying in wait for him.
10. And we don’t know whether ill is intended for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends for them a right path.
11. Among us are the righteous, and among us are less than that; we follow diverse paths.
12. And we’ve realized that we can’t defeat God on earth, and that we can’t escape Him by flight.
13. Upon hearing the guidance, we believed in it. Whoever believes in his Lord fears neither loss nor oppression.
14. Among us are the submitters, and among us are the deviants. Those who submit have found the path of righteousness.
15. As for the deviants, they will be fuel for Hellfire.”
16. Had they remained on the path, We would have provided them with abundant water to drink.
17. To test them thereby. Whoever turns away from his Lord’s remembrance, He will subject him to escalating suffering.
18. The places of worship are for God. Don’t call upon anyone else alongside God.
19. When God’s servant stood up, calling upon Him, they nearly mobbed him in aggression.
20. Say, “I only pray to my Lord, and I associate none with Him.”
21. Say, “I hold no power over harm or righteousness for you.”
22. Say, “No one can protect me from God, nor can I find refuge apart from Him.
23. My only duty is to convey God’s revelations. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will reside eternally in the blistering flames of Hell.”
24. Until, when they see what they were promised, they will realize who was weaker in helpers and lesser in number.
25. Say, “I don’t know whether what you’ve been promised is near, or if my Lord has set a distant time for it.”
26. He is the Knower of the unseen, and He doesn’t disclose His unseen to anyone.
27. Except to a messenger whom He approves of, then He posts sentinels before him and behind him.
28. That He may ascertain that they delivered their Lord’s messages. He surrounds all that they have, and He keeps count of all things.
