Surah Al-Jinn (الجن)

The Jinn · Meccan · 28 ayahs · Juz 29

• 72:1

  قُلْ أُوحِىَ إِلَىَّ أَنَّهُ ٱسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْءَانًا عَجَبًا

  (O Rasulullaah ﷺ!) Say, "Revelation has come to me (informing me) that a group of Jinn attentively listened to me (reciting the Qur'aan) and said (to their fellow Jinn when they returned to their places), 'Indeed we have heard a most astounding (wonderful) Qur'aan (in the morning prayer).'"

• 72:2

  يَهْدِىٓ إِلَى ٱلرُّشْدِ فَـَٔامَنَّا بِهِۦ ۖ وَلَن نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ أَحَدًا

  "It points towards righteousness so we believed in it and we shall never ascribe any partner to our Rabb.'"

• 72:3

  وَأَنَّهُۥ تَعَـٰلَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا ٱتَّخَذَ صَـٰحِبَةً وَلَا وَلَدًا

  ""Most exalted is the majesty of our Rabb, Who has neither taken a wife nor a child."

• 72:4

  وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ شَطَطًا

  "Undoubtedly, the ignorant (foolish) among us (Jinn) used to say things about Allaah that transgress the limit (when they attributed partners and children to Allaah)..."

• 72:5

  وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ ٱلْإِنسُ وَٱلْجِنُّ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا

  "...and we always thought that no human or Jinn could ever lie about Allaah.'” (We did not expect humans and Jinn to be bold enough to lie about Allaah. Consequently, we accepted the practices of Shirk that they told us, assuming it to be correct. We now know better.)

• 72:6

  وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ ٱلْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا

  "Indeed (adding to our practices of Shirk was that) there were those from mankind who (when they stopped over at a scary place during their travels, they would call out to the leaders of the Jinn at that place and implore them for protection from other Jinn. In doing so they) used to seek protection from men (leaders) of the Jinn and (thereby) increased them (the Jinn) only in rebellion (by making them feel that since others pleaded assistance from them, they were too great and powerful to submit to Allaah).'"

• 72:7

  وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا۟ كَمَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَبْعَثَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدًا

  "They (these Jinn) thought as you think that Allaah shall not resurrect anyone (and because of this, they did not mend their ways).'"
