that gives guidance to the right path, and we have come to believe it––We shall never set up partners with our Lord––
Translation 1260

Translation 1260
Outrageous things have been said about God by the foolish among us
Translation 1260
although we had thought that no man or jinn would [dare to] tell a lie about Him
Translation 1260
Men have sought refuge with the jinn in the past, but they only misguided them further
Translation 1260
They thought, as you did, that God would never raise anyone from the dead
Translation 1260
We tried to reach heaven, but discovered it to be full of stern guards and shooting stars––
Translation 1260
we used to sit in places there, listening, but anyone trying to listen now will find a shooting star lying in wait for him––
Translation 1260
[so now] we do not know whether those who live on earth are due for misfortune, or whether their Lord intends to guide them
Translation 1260
Some of us are righteous and others less so: we follow different paths
Translation 1260
We know we can never frustrate God on earth; we can never escape Him
Translation 1260
When we heard the guidance we came to believe: whoever believes in his Lord need fear no loss nor injustice
Translation 1260
