72.1 . Say ( O Muhammad ) : It is revealed unto me that a company of the Jinn gave ear , and they said : Lo! it is a marvellous Quran ,
72.2 . Which guideth unto righteousness , so we believe in it and we ascribe unto our Lord no partner .
72.3 . And ( we believe ) that He , exalted be the glory of our Lord! hath taken neither wife nor son ,
72.4 . And that the foolish one among us used to speak concerning Allah an atrocious lie .
72.5 . And lo! we had supposed that humankind and jinn would not speak a lie concerning Allah
72.6 . And indeed ( O Muhammad ) individuals of humankind used to invoke the protection of individuals of the jinn so that they increased them in revolt ( against Allah ) ;
72.7 . And indeed they supposed , even as ye suppose , that Allah would not raise anyone ( from the dead )
72.8 . And ( the Jinn who had listened to the Quran said ) : We had sought the heaven but had found it filled with strong warders and meteors .
72.9 . And we used to sit on places ( high ) therein to listen . But he who listened now findeth a flame in wait for him ;
72.10 . And we know not whether harm is boded unto all who are in the earth , or whether their Lord intendeth guidance for them .
72.11 . And among us there are righteous folk and among us there are far from that . We are sects having different rules .
72.12 . And we know that we cannot escape from Allah in the earth , nor can we escape by flight .
72.13 . And when we heard the guidance , we believed therein , and whoso believeth in his Lord , he feareth neither loss nor oppression .
72.14 . And there are among us some who have surrendered ( to Allah ) and there are among us some who are unjust . And whoso hath surrendered to Allah , such have taken the right path purposefully .
72.15 . And as for those who are unjust , they are firewood for hell .
72.16 . If they ( the idolaters ) tread the right path , We shall give them to drink of water in abundance
72.17 . That We may test them thereby , and whoso turneth away from the remembrance of his Lord ; He will thrust him into ever growing torment .
72.18 . And the places of worship are only for Allah , so pray not unto anyone along with Allah .
72.19 . And when the slave of Allah stood up in prayer to Him , they crowded on him , almost stifling . '
72.20 . Say ( unto them , O Muhammad ) : I pray unto Allah only , and ascribe unto Him no partner .
