1. * |
Say, "I was inspired that a group of jinns listened, then said, `We have heard a wonderful Quran.
|
|
2. * |
" `It guides to righteousness, and we have believed in it; we will never set up any idols beside our Lord.
|
|
3. * |
" `The Most High is our only Lord. He never had a mate, nor a son
|
|
4. * |
" `It is the foolish among us who used to utter such nonsense about GOD.
|
|
5. * |
" `We thought that neither the humans, nor the jinns, could possibly utter lies about GOD.
|
|
6. * |
" `Human beings used to seek power through jinn beings, but they only afflicted them with a lot of adversity.
|
|
7. * |
" `They thought, just like you thought, that GOD would not send another (messenger).
|
|
8. * |
" `We touched the heaven and found it filled with formidable guards and projectiles.
|
|
9. * |
" `We used to sit there in order to spy. Anyone who listens is pursued by a powerful projectile.
|
|
10. * |
" `We have no idea if something bad is intended for the inhabitants of Earth, or if their Lord wills to redeem them.
|
|
11. * |
" `Some of us are righteous, and some are less than righteous; we follow various paths.
|
|
12. * |
" `We knew full well that we can never run away from GOD on Earth; we can never run away and escape.
|
|
13. * |
" `When we heard the guidance, we believed therein. Anyone who believes in his Lord will never fear any injustice, nor any affliction.
|
|
14. * |
" `Among us are the submitters, and among us are the compromisers.' " As for those who submitted, they are on the right path.
|
|
15. * |
As for the compromisers, they will be fuel for Gehenna.
|
|
16. * |
If they remain on the right path, we will bless them with abundant water
|
|
17. * |
We will surely test them all. As for him who disregards the message of his Lord, He will direct him to ever increasing retribution.
|
|
18. * |
The places of worship belong to GOD; do not call on anyone else beside GOD.
|
|
19. * |
When GOD's servant advocated Him alone, almost all of them banded together to oppose him.
|
|
20. * |
Say, "I worship only my Lord; I never set up any idols beside Him."
|
|
21. * |
Say, "I possess no power to harm you, nor to guide you."
|
|
22. * |
Say, "No one can protect me from GOD, nor can I find any other refuge beside Him.
|
|
23. * |
"I deliver GOD's proclamations and messages." Those who disobey GOD and His messenger incur the fire of Hell, wherein they abide forever.
|
|
24. * |
Once they see what is awaiting them, they will find out who is really weaker in power, and fewer in number.
|
|
25. * |
Say, "I do not know if what is promised to you will happen soon, or if my Lord will delay it for awhile."
|
|
26. * |
He is the Knower of the future; He does not reveal the future to anyone
|
|
27. * |
Only to a messenger that He chooses, does He reveal from the past and the future, specific news.
|
|
28. * |
This is to ascertain that they have delivered their Lord's messages. He is fully aware of what they have. He has counted the numbers of all things.
