Surah Al-Jinn

Say: 'It has been revealed to me that a company of the jinn gave ear, then they said, "We have indeed heard a Koran wonderful,

guiding to rectitude. We believe in it, and we will not associate with our Lord anyone.

He -- exalted be our Lord's majesty! has not taken to Himself either consort or a son.

The fool among us spoke against God outrage,

and we had thought that men and jinn would never speak against God a lie.

But there were certain men of mankind who would take refuge with certain men of the jinn, and they increased them in vileness,

and they thought, even as you also thought, that God would never raise up anyone.

And we stretched towards heaven, but we found it filled with terrible guards and meteors.

We would sit there on seats to hear; but any listening now finds a meteor in wait for him.

And so we know not whether evil is intended for those in the earth, or whether their Lord intends for them rectitude.

And some of us are the righteous, and some of us are otherwise; we are sects differing.

Indeed, we thought that we should never be able to frustrate God in the earth, neither be able to frustrate Him by flight.

When we heard the guidance, we believed in it; and whosoever believes in his Lord, he shall fear neither paltriness nor vileness.

And some of us have surrendered, and some of us have deviated. Those who have surrendered sought rectitude;

but as for those who have deviated, they have become firewood for Gehenna!"'
