1. Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "It has been revealed to me that a group (from three to ten in number) of jinn listened (to this Qur’ân). They said: ‘Verily, we have heard a wonderful Recitation (this Qur’ân)! 2. ‘It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join (in worship) anything with our Lord (Allâh). 3. ‘And He, exalted be the Majesty of our Lord, has taken neither a wife nor a son (or offspring or children). 4. ‘And that the foolish among us [i.e. Iblîs (Satan) or the polytheists amongst the jinn] used to utter against Allâh that which was an enormity in falsehood. 5. ‘And verily, we thought that men and jinn would not utter a lie against Allâh. 6. ‘And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the males among the jinn, but they (jinn) increased them (mankind) in sin and transgression. 7. ‘And they thought as you thought, that Allâh will not send any Messenger (to mankind or jinn). 8. ‘And we have sought to reach the heaven; but found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires. 9. ‘And verily, we used to sit there in stations, to (steal) a hearing, but any who listens now will find a flaming fire watching him in ambush. 10. ‘And we know not whether evil is intended for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends for them a Right Path. 11. ‘There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary; we are groups having different ways (religious sects). 12. ‘And we think that we cannot escape (the punishment of) Allâh in the earth, nor can we escape Him by flight. 13. ‘And indeed when we heard the Guidance (this Qur’ân), we believed therein (Islâmic Monotheism), and whosoever believes in his Lord shall have no fear, either of a decrease in the reward of his good deeds or an increase in the punishment for his sins. 14. ‘And of us some are Muslims (who have submitted to Allâh, after listening to this Qur’ân), and of us some are Al-Qâsitûn (disbelievers - those who have deviated from the Right Path)’. And whosoever has embraced Islâm (i.e. has become a Muslim by submitting to Allâh), then such have sought the Right Path." 15. And as for the Qâsitûn (disbelievers who deviated from the Right Path), they shall be firewood for Hell,
