72:1 Say, (O Prophet  ﷺ), 'It is revealed to me that a group of jinns listened (to the Quran) and said (to their fellow jinns) : ‘Indeed, we have heard a wondrous recitation,

72:2 it guides to the Right Way. We have believed in it and we shall never join (in worship) anything with our Lord.

72:3 'Indeed, He, the Exalted and Majestic, did not take a wife or a son.

72:4 But the fools among us had been saying outrageous things about Allah, 

72:5 although we had thought that no human or jinn would dare tell a lie about Allah.

72:6 Indeed, some individuals among mankind used to seek protection with some individuals among the jinns, so they caused such jinns to become more arrogant.

72:7 And, those  men (who sought protection of Jinns)  thought,  just as you (jinns) thought that Allah would never raise up (resurrect) anyone (after death).

72:8 And we have sought to reach the heaven but found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires.

72:9 We used to sit there at stations (near first heaven) to steal a hearing, but those who listen now find flaming fire (stars) watching in ambush for them.

72:10 We did not know whether an ill was intended for the dwellers of the earth or whether their Lord intended to guide them.

72:11 'Among us (jinn), there are some that are righteous, and others that are quite the opposite. We follow diverse (and divergent) paths.'

72:12 'And we acknowledge that we cannot escape Allah on Earth, nor can we escape Him if we run.'

72:13 'In fact, when we heard the guidance, we believed it. Thus, whoever believes in his Lord never needs to worry about his (good) deeds losing their worth. Nor shall he ever fear an injustice.'

72:14 And among us are Muslims (who have submitted to their Lord) and those who are deviant.  So (as for) those who are Muslims, it is they who have attained Right Guidance.

72:15 And as for the deviant, they will be fuel for Hell.

72:16 Say (O' Prophet  ﷺ),  'If they (the Makkans) had stood upright on the Right Way (Islam), We would surely have bestowed on them water (rain) in abundance,

72:17 so that We might test them thereby. And those who turn away from the Reminder of their Lord (the Quran), He will cause them to enter in a severe punishment (Hell).

72:18 And the Masajid are built for Allah’s worship alone, so don’t invoke anyone along with Allah.

72:19 And yet, when the servant of Allah (Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) stood up invoking Him in prayer, they (the jinns) just were around him in a dense crowd (to listen to the Prophet’s recitation).'

72:20 Say (O' Prophet  ﷺ), ‘I pray only to my Lord, and I do not ascribe any partner to Him.’

72:21 I do not have control on what harm or guidance may come to you. 

72:22 Say, 'None can protect me from Allah, and I shall never find refuge apart from Him.

72:23 'My mission is to deliver what I receive from Allah and make His messages known. As for those who disobey Allah and His Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم), they shall be put in the fire of Hell to live therein forever.'

72:24 (Let them wait) till they witness that which they have been warned. Very soon, they will find out whose supporters are weaker and fewer in numbers.

72:25 Say, 'I do not know whether what you are warned will happen soon or whether it will be delayed by my Lord for a (specific) period.'

72:26 (He alone is) the Knower of the unseen, and He does not reveal His unseen to anyone,

72:27 except to the Apostle (صلى الله عليه و آله وسلم) whom He has chosen. Then He makes a band of watching guards (angels) to march before him and behind him,

72:28 to ensure (their protection, as well as a witness ) that the Apostles have  delivered the messages of their Lord, though He (already) knows all about them, and keeps account of everything.'
