(O Muhammad) Say: “It was revealed to me that
a group of Jinn listened (to the Quran) and later said: “We really heard a wonderful recitation (of the Quran)”. 1 |

|
5- |
“Whereas we had thought in fact that humans and Jinns would never say any lie against God". |

|
6- |
“But in reality, there had been some men
among mankind who sought shelter and protection from some men of the Jinnkind (instead of God), so this behavior caused them increase in sin and rebellion (against God)”. |
|
وَأَنَّهُمْ ظَنُّوا كَمَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن لَّن يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا |
|
7- |
“And they thought just as you thought that God
never sends any Messengers (to mankind or Jinnkind) and He will never raise anyone from the dead”. |

|
9- |
“And that we used to sit there in station to
listen (to the conversations from above). But now if anyone who would attempt to listen, will find missiles aimed at him”. |

|
10- |
“And that we don’t know if a catastrophe is
intended for the population of the earth or that their Lord intends more opportunity for progress and improvement for them”. |

|
11- |
“And that of course there are among us, some
who are righteous, and some to the contrary and not righteous;

|
14- |
“And that among us, there are Muslims (who
have submitted themselves to God’s Guidance) and there are some of us who have deviated. And whoever submitted himself to God, then such are the ones who have chosen the path to progress”. |

وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا |
|
15- |
“But as for the deviated ones, they shall be the fuel for the Hell”. |

Also remember that the mosques (all places of
worship) are for the worship of God Alone, so do not ever pray to or invoke anyone else along with God. |

|
23- |
“My duty is only to bring the truth from God
and His Messages. And whoever disobeys God and His Messenger, then he will certainly have the Fire of Hell, such people will stay there forever”. |

حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَوْا مَا يُوعَدُونَ فَسَيَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَضْعَفُ نَاصِرًا وَأَقَلُّ عَدَدًا |

|
27- |
“Except to a Messenger whom he has been
pleased with. In fact He then makes a row of angelic forces guard before him and behind him. (Also He informs him of some events that lie ahead and of the past). |
