Length: 3 mins, 12 secs
In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
72:1. Say, “It was revealed to me that a band of jinn listened in, and said, ‘We have heard a wondrous Quran.
72:2. It guides to rectitude, so we have believed in it; and we will never associate anyone with our Lord.
72:3. And Exalted is the Grandeur of our Lord—He never had a mate, nor a child.
72:4. But the fools among us used to say nonsense about Allah.
72:5. And we thought that humans and jinn would never utter lies about Allah.
72:6. Some individual humans used to seek power through some individual jinn, but they only increased them in confusion.
72:7. They thought, as you thought, that Allah would never resurrect anyone.
72:8. We probed the heaven, and found it filled with stern guards and projectiles.
72:9. We used to take up positions to listen in; but whoever listens now finds a projectile in wait for him.
72:10. We do not know whether ill is intended for those on earth, or if their Lord intends goodness for them.
72:11. Some of us are righteous, but some of us are less than that; we follow divergent paths.
72:12. We realized that we cannot defeat Allah on earth, and that we cannot escape Him by fleeing.
72:13. And when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. Whoever believes in his Lord fears neither loss, nor burden.
72:14. Among us are those who are submitting, and among us are the compromisers. As for those who have submitted—it is they who pursue rectitude.
72:15. But as for the compromisers—they will be firewood for Hell.’”
72:16. Had they kept true to the Path, We would have given them plenty water to drink.
72:17. To test them with it. Whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will direct him to torment ever mounting.
72:18. The places of worship are for Allah. So do not call, besides Allah, upon anyone else.
72:19. And when the servant of Allah got up calling on Him, they almost fell on him in a mass.
72:20. Say, “I pray only to my Lord, and I never associate anyone with Him.”
72:21. Say, “It is not in my power to harm you, nor to bring you to right conduct.”
72:22. Say, “No one can protect me from Allah, and I will not find any refuge except with Him.
72:23. Except for a proclamation from Allah and His messages. He who defies Allah and His Messenger—for him is the Fire of Hell, in which they will dwell forever.”
72:24. Until, when they see what they were promised, they will know who is weaker in helpers, and fewer in numbers.
72:25. Say, “I do not know whether what you are promised is near, or whether my Lord will extend it for a period.”
72:26. The Knower of the Invisible; He does not disclose His Invisible to anyone.
72:27. Except to a Messenger of His choosing. He then dispatches guards before him and behind him.
72:28. That He may know that they have conveyed the messages of their Lord. He encompasses what they have, and has tallied everything by number.
