| 1. * | (Muhammad), say, "It has been revealed to me that a party of jinn has listened (to the recitation) of the Quran and has told (their people), "We heard an amazing reading |
| 2. * | which guides people to the right path and we believe in it. We shall never consider anyone equal to our Lord; |
| 3. * | our Lord is too exalted to have either a wife or son. |
| 4. * | The dimwit one (the devil) among us has been telling confused lies about God. |
| 5. * | We thought that no man or jinn could ever tell lies about God. |
| 6. * | "Certain human beings sought refuge with certain jinn and this increased the rebelliousness of those jinn. |
| 7. * | Those people thought, like you, that God would never send down a Messenger. |
| 8. * | "We went near the heavens but found it to be full of strong guards and shooting flames. |
| 9. * | We used to sit near by and try to listen to the heavens, but shooting flames now await those who try to do that. |
| 10. * | We do not know whether by this arrangement God intends benefit and guidance for the people of the earth or only evil. |
| 11. * | As for us, some of us are righteous and others are not. We have all followed different ways. |
| 12. * | We knew that we could never challenge God whether we stayed on earth or fled elsewhere. |
| 13. * | Now that we have listened to the guidance, we believe in it. Whoever believes in his Lord does not need to fear loss or oppression. |
| 14. * | Some of us are Muslims and some of us have deviated from the Truth. Whoever has embraced Islam has followed the right guidance. |
| 15. * | However, the deviators from the Truth will be the fuel for hell". |
| 16. * | Had they (jinn and mankind) remained steadfast in their religion (Islam), We would certainly have given them abundant water to drink |
| 17. * | as a trial for them. God will make those who disregard the guidance from their Lord suffer increasing torment. |
| 18. * | All the parts of the body to be placed on the ground during prostration belong to God. Do not prostrate before anyone other than Him. |
| 19. * | When the servant of God (Muhammad) preached (his message) the jinn would all crowd around him. |
| 20. * | (Muhammad), say, "I worship only my Lord and do not consider anyone equal to Him". |
| 21. * | Say, "I do not possess any power to harm or benefit you". |
| 22. * | Say, "No one can protect me from God, nor can I find any place of refuge but with him. |
| 23. * | My only (means of protection) is to convey the message of God. Whoever disobeys God and His Messenger will go to hell, wherein he will live forever". |
| 24. * | (On the Day of Judgment) when the disbelievers witness that with which they have been threatened, they will then know whose helpers are weaker and fewer in number. |
| 25. * | (Muhammad), say, "I do not know whether that with which you have been threatened is close by or whether my Lord will prolong the time of its coming. |
| 26. * | He knows the unseen and He does not allow anyone to know His secrets except those of His Messengers whom He chooses. |
| 27. * | He causes angelic guards to march before and after him. |
| 28. * | (Messenger) so that He would know that the Messengers have conveyed the message of their Lord. He encompasses all that is with them and He keeps a precise account of all things". |
