Surah 71

Noohنوح

Noah · 28 verses · Meccan

In plain wordsEditorial

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It carries the AALAMIN Editor signature and the date it was signed, because someone has to answer for it.

Twenty-eight verses, almost entirely one man's report of his own work: calling by night and by day, in private and in public, and the sound of people putting their fingers in their ears and pulling their garments over themselves. He names the idols they would not leave.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Surah 72

Al-Jinnالجن

The Jinn · 28 verses · Meccan

In plain wordsEditorial

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It carries the AALAMIN Editor signature and the date it was signed, because someone has to answer for it.

Twenty-eight verses opening with a company of jinn who listened to a recitation and reported what they had heard - the hearers this surah is named for. Most of it is their speech: that they had supposed no one would speak a lie about God, that among them are the upright and others who are not, and that they cannot escape Him. It closes on what the messenger says he neither controls nor knows.

72:1
