Surah Al-Jinn - Word by Word

قُلْ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيَّ اَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوْٓا اِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْاٰنًا عَجَبًاۙ ١

Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, 'Indeed, we have heard an amazing Quran [i.e., recitation]. (QS. [72] Al-Jinn: 1)

يَّهْدِيْٓ اِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَاٰمَنَّا بِهٖۗ وَلَنْ نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ اَحَدًاۖ ٢

It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone. (QS. [72] Al-Jinn: 2)

وَّاَنَّهٗ تَعٰلٰى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَّلَا وَلَدًاۖ ٣

And [it teaches] that exalted is the nobleness of our Lord; He has not taken a wife or a son (QS. [72] Al-Jinn: 3)

وَّاَنَّهٗ كَانَ يَقُوْلُ سَفِيْهُنَا عَلَى اللّٰهِ شَطَطًاۖ ٤

And that our foolish one [i.e., Iblees] has been saying about Allah an excessive transgression. (QS. [72] Al-Jinn: 4)

وَّاَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ اَنْ لَّنْ تَقُوْلَ الْاِنْسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاۙ ٥

And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie. (QS. [72] Al-Jinn: 5)

وَّاَنَّهٗ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ الْاِنْسِ يَعُوْذُوْنَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوْهُمْ رَهَقًاۖ ٦

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden [i.e., sin]. (QS. [72] Al-Jinn: 6)

وَّاَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوْا كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ اَنْ لَّنْ يَّبْعَثَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدًاۖ ٧

And they had thought, as you thought, that Allah would never send anyone [as a messenger]. (QS. [72] Al-Jinn: 7)

وَّاَنَّا لَمَسْنَا السَّمَاۤءَ فَوَجَدْنٰهَا مُلِئَتْ حَرَسًا شَدِيْدًا وَّشُهُبًاۖ ٨

And we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames. (QS. [72] Al-Jinn: 8)

وَّاَنَّا كُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مِنْهَا مَقَاعِدَ لِلسَّمْعِۗ فَمَنْ يَّسْتَمِعِ الْاٰنَ يَجِدْ لَهٗ شِهَابًا رَّصَدًاۖ ٩

And we used to sit therein in positions for hearing, but whoever listens now will find a burning flame lying in wait for him. (QS. [72] Al-Jinn: 9)

وَّاَنَّا لَا نَدْرِيْٓ اَشَرٌّ اُرِيْدَ بِمَنْ فِى الْاَرْضِ اَمْ اَرَادَ بِهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ رَشَدًاۙ ١٠

And we do not know [therefore] whether evil is intended for those on earth or whether their Lord intends for them a right course. (QS. [72] Al-Jinn: 10)
