Al-Jinn

አንቀጽ: 1

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

Say, “It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn listened [to the Qur’an,] and they said, ‘Indeed, we have heard a wondrous recitation

አንቀጽ: 2

يَهۡدِيٓ إِلَى ٱلرُّشۡدِ فَـَٔامَنَّا بِهِۦۖ وَلَن نُّشۡرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَدٗا

that guides to the right way, so we have believed in it, and we will never associate anyone with our Lord.

አንቀጽ: 3

وَأَنَّهُۥ تَعَٰلَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا ٱتَّخَذَ صَٰحِبَةٗ وَلَا وَلَدٗا

And that He – our exalted and glorified Lord^[1] – has neither taken a wife nor a child;

[1] “Jadd” of Our Lord means His Glory, Grandeur, and Command.

አንቀጽ: 4

وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ شَطَطٗا

and that the fool among us [i.e., Satan] used to say outrageous things about Allah^[2],

[2] i.e., Satan tempted humans to believe that Allah has a wife and children, and that the angels are Allah's daughters.

አንቀጽ: 5

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ ٱلۡإِنسُ وَٱلۡجِنُّ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا

although we thought that humans and jinn would never tell lies about Allah.

አንቀጽ: 6

وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٖ مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمۡ رَهَقٗا

And there were some men who used to seek refuge with some jinn, but they only increased them in burden.

አንቀጽ: 7

وَأَنَّهُمۡ ظَنُّواْ كَمَا ظَنَنتُمۡ أَن لَّن يَبۡعَثَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٗا

They thought, just like you [jinn] thought that Allah would never send any messenger.

አንቀጽ: 8

وَأَنَّا لَمَسۡنَا ٱلسَّمَآءَ فَوَجَدۡنَٰهَا مُلِئَتۡ حَرَسٗا شَدِيدٗا وَشُهُبٗا

We have sought to reach heaven but found it filled with stern guards and flaming fire.

አንቀጽ: 9

وَأَنَّا كُنَّا نَقۡعُدُ مِنۡهَا مَقَٰعِدَ لِلسَّمۡعِۖ فَمَن يَسۡتَمِعِ ٱلۡأٓنَ يَجِدۡ لَهُۥ شِهَابٗا رَّصَدٗا

We used to take up positions there for eavesdropping, but now anyone who eavesdrops will find a flaming fire waiting for him^[3].

[3] After the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was sent as a messenger, the jinn who used to eavesdrop on heaven and then pass it on to fortune-tellers came to an end.

አንቀጽ: 10

وَأَنَّا لَا نَدۡرِيٓ أَشَرٌّ أُرِيدَ بِمَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَمۡ أَرَادَ بِهِمۡ رَبُّهُمۡ رَشَدٗا

We do not know whether evil is intended for those on earth, or their Lord intends good for them.

አንቀጽ: 11

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلصَّٰلِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَۖ كُنَّا طَرَآئِقَ قِدَدٗا

Among us are some who are righteous and some who are otherwise, for we follow divergent ways^[4].

[4] In beliefs and religious duties.

አንቀጽ: 12

وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن نُّعۡجِزَ ٱللَّهَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَن نُّعۡجِزَهُۥ هَرَبٗا

We have realized that we can never escape Allah on earth, nor can we ever escape Him by fleeing.

አንቀጽ: 13

وَأَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعۡنَا ٱلۡهُدَىٰٓ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦۖ فَمَن يُؤۡمِنۢ بِرَبِّهِۦ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخۡسٗا وَلَا رَهَقٗا

When we heard the guidance [of the Qur’an], we believed in it. Whoever believes in his Lord will have no fear of curtailment [from his reward] or injustice^[5].

[5] i.e., nor will the sins of another be placed upon him.

አንቀጽ: 14

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا ٱلۡمُسۡلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا ٱلۡقَٰسِطُونَۖ فَمَنۡ أَسۡلَمَ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ تَحَرَّوۡاْ رَشَدٗا

Among us are some who are Muslims and some who are deviant^[6]. Those who accepted Islam have sought the true guidance,

[6] i.e., deviant from the right way.

አንቀጽ: 15

وَأَمَّا ٱلۡقَٰسِطُونَ فَكَانُواْ لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبٗا

but those who are deviant, they will be fuel for Hell.’”

አንቀጽ: 16

وَأَلَّوِ ٱسۡتَقَٰمُواْ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسۡقَيۡنَٰهُم مَّآءً غَدَقٗا

“If they had remained steadfast on the right way, We would have given them abundant rain,

አንቀጽ: 17

لِّنَفۡتِنَهُمۡ فِيهِۚ وَمَن يُعۡرِضۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِۦ يَسۡلُكۡهُ عَذَابٗا صَعَدٗا

as a test for them^[7]. But whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord^[8], He will make him suffer an arduous punishment.

[7] As to whether they will be grateful for Allah's provisions or not.
[8] i.e., the Qur’an and obedience to Him.

አንቀጽ: 18

وَأَنَّ ٱلۡمَسَٰجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدۡعُواْ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدٗا

The mosques^[9] are for Allah alone, so do not supplicate anyone along with Allah.

[9] "Masjid" here means every place of worship on earth.

አንቀጽ: 19

وَأَنَّهُۥ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبۡدُ ٱللَّهِ يَدۡعُوهُ كَادُواْ يَكُونُونَ عَلَيۡهِ لِبَدٗا

Yet when the slave of Allah stood up supplicating Him, they swarmed around him^[10].”

[10] Crowding in the manner of locusts on top of one another in order to hear him (ﷺ). It refers to the jinn or to the Arabs pagans.

አንቀጽ: 20

قُلۡ إِنَّمَآ أَدۡعُواْ رَبِّي وَلَآ أُشۡرِكُ بِهِۦٓ أَحَدٗا

Say [O Prophet], “I only supplicate my Lord and I do not associate anyone with Him.”

አንቀጽ: 21

قُلۡ إِنِّي لَآ أَمۡلِكُ لَكُمۡ ضَرّٗا وَلَا رَشَدٗا

Say, “I have no power to harm or benefit you^[11].”

[11] i.e., grant you goodness and guidance.

አንቀጽ: 22

قُلۡ إِنِّي لَن يُجِيرَنِي مِنَ ٱللَّهِ أَحَدٞ وَلَنۡ أَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مُلۡتَحَدًا

Say, “None can ever protect me from Allah [if I should disobey Him], nor can I ever find refuge except in Him.

አንቀጽ: 23

إِلَّا بَلَٰغٗا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَرِسَٰلَٰتِهِۦۚ وَمَن يَعۡصِ ٱللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُۥ فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَدًا

I only convey what I receive from Allah and His messages.” And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger will certainly be in the Fire of Hell, abiding therein forever.

አንቀጽ: 24

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَأَوۡاْ مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعۡلَمُونَ مَنۡ أَضۡعَفُ نَاصِرٗا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدٗا

Until when they see what they were promised, they will realize who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number.

አንቀጽ: 25

قُلۡ إِنۡ أَدۡرِيٓ أَقَرِيبٞ مَّا تُوعَدُونَ أَمۡ يَجۡعَلُ لَهُۥ رَبِّيٓ أَمَدًا

Say, “I do not know if what you are promised is near or my Lord has appointed a distant time for it.

አንቀጽ: 26

عَٰلِمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ فَلَا يُظۡهِرُ عَلَىٰ غَيۡبِهِۦٓ أَحَدًا

[He is] the Knower of the unseen, He does not reveal His unseen to anyone,

አንቀጽ: 27

إِلَّا مَنِ ٱرۡتَضَىٰ مِن رَّسُولٖ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَسۡلُكُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِ يَدَيۡهِ وَمِنۡ خَلۡفِهِۦ رَصَدٗا

except the messenger whom He chooses, then He appoints angel-guards before him and behind him^[12]

[12] Protecting him so that others do not know what he was informed of the unseen.

አንቀጽ: 28

لِّيَعۡلَمَ أَن قَدۡ أَبۡلَغُواْ رِسَٰلَٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيۡهِمۡ وَأَحۡصَىٰ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ عَدَدَۢا

to ensure^[13] that the messengers fully conveyed the messages of their Lord. He encompasses in His knowledge all about them, and keeps count of all things.”

[13] Or "So He may make evident."
