| 1. | ![]() [72:1] Say, "I was inspired that a group of jinns listened, then said, `We have heard a wonderful Quran. |
| 2. | ![]() [72:2] " `It guides to righteousness, and we have believed in it; we will never set up any idols beside our Lord. |
| 3. | ![]() [72:3] " `The Most High is our only Lord. He never had a mate, nor a son. |
| 4. | ![]() [72:4] " `It is the foolish among us who used to utter such nonsense about GOD. |
| 5. | ![]() [72:5] " `We thought that neither the humans, nor the jinns, could possibly utter lies about GOD. |
| 6. | ![]() [72:6] " `Human beings used to seek power through jinn beings, but they only afflicted them with a lot of adversity. |
| 7. | ![]() [72:7] " `They thought, just like you thought, that GOD would not send another (messenger). |
| 8. | ![]() [72:8] " `We touched the heaven and found it filled with formidable guards and projectiles. |
| 9. | ![]() [72:9] " `We used to sit there in order to spy. Anyone who listens is pursued by a powerful projectile. |
| 10. | ![]() [72:10] " `We have no idea if something bad is intended for the inhabitants of Earth, or if their Lord wills to redeem them. |
| 11. | ![]() [72:11] " `Some of us are righteous, and some are less than righteous; we follow various paths. |
| 12. | ![]() [72:12] " `We knew full well that we can never run away from GOD on Earth; we can never run away and escape. |
| 13. | ![]() [72:13] " `When we heard the guidance, we believed therein. Anyone who believes in his Lord will never fear any injustice, nor any affliction. |
| 14. | ![]() [72:14] " `Among us are the submitters, and among us are the compromisers.' " As for those who submitted, they are on the right path. |
| 15. | ![]() [72:15] As for the compromisers, they will be fuel for Gehenna. |
| 16. | ![]() [72:16] If they remain on the right path, we will bless them with abundant water. |
| 17. | ![]() [72:17] We will surely test them all. As for him who disregards the message of his Lord, He will direct him to ever increasing retribution. |
| 18. | ![]() [72:18] The places of worship belong to GOD; do not call on anyone else beside GOD. |
| 19. | ![]() [72:19] When GOD's servant advocated Him alone, almost all of them banded together to oppose him. |
| 20. | ![]() [72:20] Say, "I worship only my Lord; I never set up any idols beside Him." |
| 21. | ![]() [72:21] Say, "I possess no power to harm you, nor to guide you." |
| 22. | ![]() [72:22] Say, "No one can protect me from GOD, nor can I find any other refuge beside Him. |
| 23. | ![]() [72:23] "I deliver GOD's proclamations and messages." Those who disobey GOD and His messenger incur the fire of Hell, wherein they abide forever. |
| 24. | ![]() [72:24] Once they see what is awaiting them, they will find out who is really weaker in power, and fewer in number. |
| 25. | ![]() [72:25] Say, "I do not know if what is promised to you will happen soon, or if my Lord will delay it for awhile." |
| 26. | ![]() [72:26] He is the Knower of the future; He does not reveal the future to anyone. |
| 27. | ![]() [72:27] Only to a messenger that He chooses, does He reveal from the past and the future, specific news. |
| 28. | ![]() [72:28] This is to ascertain that they have delivered their Lord's messages. He is fully aware of what they have. He has counted the numbers of all things. *72:1-28 The messenger here is named, mathematically, as ``Rashad Khalifa,'' to whom God revealed the end of the world (Appendix 25). The number of verses from 1:1 to 72:27, where the messenger is mentioned, is 5472, 19x72x4. The word ``Rashada'' occurs 4 times in Sura 72. The value of ``Rashada'' is 504, and 504+28 (verses of Sura 72) is 532, 19x28. The value of ``Rashad Khalifa'' (1230)+72+28=1330 =19x70. The digits of Sura 72 and its number of verses (28) add up to 7+2+2+8=19. Also, the crucial expression, ``only to a messenger that He chooses'' has a value of 361, 19x19. |
