(72:1) Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, `Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur`an. (72:2) It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone. (72:3) And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son (72:4) And that our foolish one has been saying about Allah an excessive transgression. (72:5) And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie. (72:6) And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden. (72:7) And they had thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone [as a messenger]. (72:8) And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames. (72:9) And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him. (72:10) And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course. (72:11) And among us are the righteous, and among us are [others] not so; we were [of] divided ways. (72:12) And we have become certain that we will never cause failure to Allah upon earth, nor can we escape Him by flight. (72:13) And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. And whoever believes in his Lord will not fear deprivation or burden. (72:14) And among us are Muslims [in submission to Allah], and among us are the unjust. And whoever has become Muslim - those have sought out the right course. (72:15) But as for the unjust, they will be, for Hell, firewood.` (72:16) And [Allah revealed] that if they had remained straight on the way, We would have given them abundant provision (72:17) So We might test them therein. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord He will put into arduous punishment. (72:18) And [He revealed] that the masjids are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone. (72:19) And that when the Servant of Allah stood up supplicating Him, they almost became about him a compacted mass." (72:20) Say, [O Muhammad], "I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone." (72:21) Say, "Indeed, I do not possess for you [the power of] harm or right direction." (72:22) Say, "Indeed, there will never protect me from Allah anyone [if I should disobey], nor will I find in other than Him a refuge. (72:23) But [I have for you] only notification from Allah, and His messages." And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger - then indeed, for him is the fire of Hell; they will abide therein forever. (72:24) [The disbelievers continue] until, when they see that which they are promised, then they will know who is weaker in helpers and less in number.
