   قُلْ اُوْحِيَ اِلَيَّ اَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوْٓا اِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْاٰنًا عَجَبًاۙ

   Qul uuhiya ilai-ya annahuustama'a nafarun minal jinni faqaaluuu innaa sami'naa quraanan 'ajaban

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

2. 72:2

   يَّهْدِيْٓ اِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَاٰمَنَّا بِهٖۗ وَلَنْ نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَآ اَحَدًاۖ

   Yahdii ilarrusydi faaamannaa bihi walan nusyrika birabbinaa ahadan

   “We have indeed heard a wonderful Qur'an 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”;

   Wa-annaa zhanannaa an lan taquula-insu wal jinnu 'alallahi kadziban

   and that “we had thought that men and jinn would never speak a lie about Allah”,

   Wa-annahu kaana rijaalun mina-insi ya'uudzuuna birijaalin minal jinni fazaaduuhum rahaqan

   and that “some from among the humans used to seek protection of some among the jinn, and thus they increased the arrogance of the jinn”;

   Wa-annahum zhannuu kamaa zhanantum an lan yab'atsallahu ahadan

   Wa-annaa kunnaa naq'udu minhaa maqaa'ida li-ssam'i faman yastami'iaana yajid lahu syihaaban rashadan

   and that “we would take up stations in the heaven to try to hear but anyone who now attempts to listen finds a shooting meteor in wait for him”;

    Wa-annaa laa nadrii asyarrun uriida biman fiil ardhi am araada bihim rabbuhum rasyadan

    and that “we do not know whether evil is intended for those on the earth, or whether their Lord intends to direct them to the Right Way”;

11. 72:11

    Wa-annaa zhanannaa an lan nu'jizallaha fiil ardhi walan nu'jizahu haraban

    and that “we thought that we will neither be able to frustrate Allah on earth, nor frustrate Him by flight”;

13. 72:13

    وَّاَنَّا لَمَّا سَمِعْنَا الْهُدٰىٓ اٰمَنَّا بِهٖۗ فَمَنْ يُّؤْمِنْۢ بِرَبِّهٖ فَلَا يَخَافُ بَخْسًا وَّلَا رَهَقًاۖ

    Wa-annaa lammaa sami'naal huda aamannaa bihi faman yu'min birabbihi falaa yakhaafu bakhsan walaa rahaqan

    and that “when we heard the teaching of the Right Way we came to believe in it; he who believes in His Lord shall have no fear of suffering loss or being subjected to any injustice”;

14. 72:14

    وَّاَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُوْنَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُوْنَۗ فَمَنْ اَسْلَمَ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ تَحَرَّوْا رَشَدًا

    Wa-annaa minnaal muslimuuna waminnaal qaasithuuna faman aslama fa-uula-ika taharrau rasyadan

    and that “among us some are Muslims (Those who have submitted to Allah), and some of us are deviant. So those who became Muslims found the Right Course;

15. 72:15

    وَاَمَّا الْقَاسِطُوْنَ فَكَانُوْا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًاۙ

    Wa-ammaal qaasithuuna fakaanuu lijahannama hathaban

    but those who deviated from the Truth, will be the fuel for Hell.”

16. 72:16

    وَّاَنْ لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوْا عَلَى الطَّرِيْقَةِ لَاَسْقَيْنٰهُمْ مَّاۤءً غَدَقًاۙ

    Wa-allawiistaqaamuu 'alath-thariiqati asqainaahum maa-an ghadaqan

    If people were to keep firmly to the Right Way, We would have vouchsafed them abundant rain

17. 72:17

    لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيْهِۗ وَمَنْ يُّعْرِضْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ رَبِّهٖ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًاۙ

    Linaftinahum fiihi waman yu'ridh 'an dzikri rabbihi yaslukhu 'adzaaban sha'adan

    so that We might try them through this bounty. Whoso turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will cause him to suffer a grievous chastisement;

18. 72:18

    وَّاَنَّ الْمَسٰجِدَ لِلّٰهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوْا مَعَ اللّٰهِ اَحَدًاۖ

    Wa-annahu lammaa qaama 'abdullahi yad'uuhu kaaduu yakuunuuna 'alaihi libadan

    and when Allah's servant stood up to call on Him, they well-nigh swarmed him.

20. 72:20

    قُلْ اِنَّمَآ اَدْعُوْا رَبِّيْ وَلَآ اُشْرِكُ بِهٖٓ اَحَدًا

    Ilaa balaaghan minallahi warisalaatihi waman ya'shillaha warasuulahu fa-inna lahu naara jahannama khaalidiina fiihaa abadan

    (My task is no more than) to deliver Allah's proclamation and His messages. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, surely the Fire of Hell awaits him; therein he will abide in perpetuity.”

24. 72:24

    حَتّٰىٓ اِذَا رَاَوْا مَا يُوْعَدُوْنَ فَسَيَعْلَمُوْنَ مَنْ اَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَّاَقَلُّ عَدَدًاۗ

    Hatta idzaa ra-au maa yuu'aduuna fasaya'lamuuna man adh'afu naashiran wa-aqallu 'adadan

    (They shall not change their ways) until they see that against which they had been warned, and then they will know whose helpers are weaker and whose supporters are fewer in number.

    Ilaa maniirtadha min rasuulin fa-innahu yasluku min baini yadaihi wamin khalfihi rashadan

    other than to a Messenger whom He chooses (for the bestowal of any part of the knowledge of the Unseen), whereafter He appoints guards who go before him and behind him,

28. 72:28

    لِّيَعْلَمَ اَنْ قَدْ اَبْلَغُوْا رِسٰلٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَاَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَاَحْصٰى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا ࣖ

    Liya'lama an qad ablaghuu risalaati rabbihim wa-ahaatha bimaa ladaihim wa-ahsha kulla syai-in 'adadan
