Category: Al-Jinn

Say (O Muhammad): “It has been revealed to me that a group (from three to ten in number) of jinns listened (to this Quran). They said: ‘Verily! We have heard a wonderful Recital (this Quran)!

‘It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join (in worship) anything with our Lord (Allah).

Surely our Lord’s Majesty is exalted: He has neither taken a wife nor a son.

‘And that the foolish among us [i.e. Iblis (Satan) or the polytheists amongst the jinns] used to utter against Allah that which was wrong and not right.
Meaning:-
Polytheist: belief in more than one god or in many gods.

And we had thought that mankind and the jinn would never speak about Allah a lie.

‘And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the masculine among the jinns, but they (jinns) increased them (mankind) in sin and disbelief.
Meaning:-
Masculine: pertaining to or characteristic of a man or men:

‘And they thought as you thought, that Allah will not send any Messenger (to mankind or jinns).

And (the Jinn who had listened to the Qur’an said) we have sought [to reach] the heaven but found it filled with powerful guards and burning flames.

And that we used to sit in some of the sitting-places thereof to steal a hearing, but he who would (try to) listen now would find a flame lying in wait for him:

‘And we know not whether evil is intended for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends for them a Right Path.

There are some among us who are righteous and some to the contrary; we have sects following different ways.
Meaning:-
Righteous: (of a person or conduct) morally right or justifiable; virtuous, very good; excellent.
Contrary: opposing, conflicting,
Sects: a group of people with somewhat different religious beliefs (typically regarded as heretical) from those of a larger group to which they belong.

‘And we think that we cannot escape (from the punishment of) Allah in the earth, nor can we escape (from the punishment) by flight.

‘And indeed when we heard the Guidance (this Quran), we believed therein (Islamic Monotheism), and whosoever believes in his Lord shall have no fear, either of a decrease in the reward of his good deeds or an increase in punishment for his sins.
Meaning:-
Monotheism: the doctrine or belief that there is only one God.

‘And of us some are Muslims (who have submitted to Allah, after listening to this Quran), and of us some are Al-Qasitun (disbelievers those who have deviated from the Right Path)’. And whosoever has embraced Islam (i.e. has become a Muslim by submitting to Allah), then such have sought the Right Path.”

and those who have deviated from the truth will become the fuel for hell.”

If they (non-Muslims) had believed in Allah, and went on the Right Way (i.e. Islam) We should surely have bestowed on them water (rain) in abundance.
Meaning:-
Bestow: an honor, right, or gift
Abundance: an extremely plentiful or oversufficient quantity

That We might try them thereby. And whosoever turns away from the Reminder of his Lord (i.e. this Quran, and practice not its laws and orders), He will cause him to enter in a severe punishment (i.e. Hell).

And the places (Mosques) of worship are only for Allah, so pray not unto anyone along with Allah.

(It has been revealed to me that) When the slave of Allah (Muhammad) stood up invoking (his Lord Allah) in prayer to Him they (the jinns) just made round him a dense crowd as if sticking one over the other (in order to listen to the Prophet’s recitation).
Meaning:-
invoke: appeal to, pray to, call on.

O Prophet (O Muhammad), say: “I pray only to my Lord and worship none besides Him.”

Say: “I have no control to cause harm or bring you to the Right Way.”

Say (O Muhammad): “None can protect me from Allah’s punishment (if I were to disobey Him), nor should I find refuge except in Him.
Meaning:-
Refuge: shelter, protection, safety.

My mission is only to deliver what I receive from Allah and make His messages known. As for those who disobey Allah and His Messenger, they shall be put in the fire of hell to live therein forever.”

When they shall see the punishment that they are being threatened with, then they shall find out whose helpers are weak and whose supporters are fewer in number.

Say (O Muhammad): “I know not whether (the punishment) which you are promised is near or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term.

[He is] Knower of the unseen, and He does not disclose His [knowledge of the] unseen to anyone

Except to a Messenger (from mankind) whom He has chosen (He informs him of unseen as much as He likes), and then He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him.

[He (Allah) protects them (the Messengers)], till He sees that they (the Messengers) have conveyed the Messages of their Lord (Allah). And He (Allah) surrounds all that which is with them, and He (Allah) keeps count of all things (i.e. He knows the exact number of everything).
