Like you, they thought that Allah would never raise the dead. (7)

(The jinn continued saying): "We made our way towards heaven, but we found it filled with stern guards and a flame. (8)

There, we would sit to eavesdrop, but now an eavesdropper finds a flame in wait for him. (9)

And so we do not know whether evil is intended for those on earth, or whether their Lord intends to guide them. (10)

Some of us are righteous, but some are otherwise, we are sects that differ. (11)

We know that we cannot frustrate Allah in the earth, nor can we frustrate Him by flight. (12)

When we heard the Guidance, we believed in it, and whosoever believes in his Lord shall fear neither shortage nor injustice. (13)

Some of us have surrendered (Muslims) and some of us have deviated. Those who surrendered sought the Right Path, (14)

but those who have deviated shall become the fuel of Gehenna (Hell). (15)

If they had followed the Path We would give to them abundant water to drink, (16)
