Al-Jinn


قُلۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ ٱسۡتَمَعَ نَفَرٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ فَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا سَمِعۡنَا قُرۡءَانًا عَجَبٗا

(72:1) Say, (O Prophet), it was revealed to me that a band of jinn attentively
listened1 to (the recitation of the Qur'an) and then (went back to
their people) and said:


يَهۡدِيٓ إِلَى ٱلرُّشۡدِ فَـَٔامَنَّا بِهِۦۖ وَلَن نُّشۡرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَدٗا

(72:2) “We have indeed heard a wonderful Qur'an2 which guides
to the Right Way; so we have come to believe in it, and we will not associate
aught with Our Lord in His Divinity”;3


وَأَنَّهُۥ تَعَٰلَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا ٱتَّخَذَ صَٰحِبَةٗ وَلَا وَلَدٗا

(72:3) and that “He – exalted be His Majesty – has not taken to Himself either
a wife or a son”;4


وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ شَطَطٗا

(72:4) and that “the foolish among us5 have been wont to say outrageous
things about Allah”;


وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ ٱلۡإِنسُ وَٱلۡجِنُّ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا

(72:5) and that “we had thought that men and jinn would never speak a lie
about Allah”,6
