Yusuf Ali
Say: It has been revealed to me that a company of Jinns listened (to the Qur´an). They said, ´We have really heard a wonderful Recital!
Yusuf Ali
´It gives guidance to the Right, and we have believed therein: we shall not join (in worship) any (gods) with our Lord.
Yusuf Ali
´And Exalted is the Majesty of our Lord: He has taken neither a wife nor a son.
Yusuf Ali
´There were some foolish ones among us, who used to utter extravagant lies against Allah;
Yusuf Ali
´But we do think that no man or spirit should say aught that untrue against Allah.
Yusuf Ali
´True, there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the Jinns, but they increased them in folly.
Yusuf Ali
´And they (came to) think as ye thought, that Allah would not raise up any one (to Judgment).
Yusuf Ali
´And we pried into the secrets of heaven; but we found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires.
Yusuf Ali
´We used, indeed, to sit there in (hidden) stations, to (steal) a hearing; but any who listen now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush.
Yusuf Ali
´And we understand not whether ill is intended to those on earth, or whether their Lord (really) intends to guide them to right conduct.
Yusuf Ali
´There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary: we follow divergent paths.
Yusuf Ali
´But we think that we can by no means frustrate Allah throughout the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight.
Yusuf Ali
´And as for us, since we have listened to the Guidance, we have accepted it: and any who believes in his Lord has no fear, either of a short (account) or of any injustice.
Yusuf Ali
´Amongst us are some that submit their wills (to Allah), and some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their wills - they have sought out (the path) of right conduct:
Yusuf Ali
´But those who swerve,- they are (but) fuel for Hell-fire´-
Yusuf Ali
(And Allah´s Message is): "If they (the Pagans) had (only) remained on the (right) Way, We should certainly have bestowed on them Rain in abundance.
Yusuf Ali
"That We might try them by that (means). But if any turns away from the remembrance of his Lord, He will cause him to undergo a severe Penalty.
Yusuf Ali
"And the places of worship are for Allah (alone): So invoke not any one along with Allah;
Yusuf Ali
"Yet when the Devotee of Allah stands forth to invoke Him, they just make round him a dense crowd."
Yusuf Ali
Say: "I do no more than invoke my Lord, and I join not with Him any (false god)."
