Sehemu hii ya mwisho ya sura inatoa njia tofauti ya kushughulikia swali la msingi la imani. Inatusimulia hadithi ya kundi la majini waliosikia Qur'ani ikisomwa, nao wakaisikiliza. Walihisi moyoni mwao kwamba ni neno la kweli, wakaamini mara moja. Kisha wakakimbilia kwa watu wao wenyewe wakiwataka waamini, wakiwapa habari njema ya kupata msamaha wa dhambi zao za zamani, na kuwaonya dhidi ya kugeuka na kuendelea katika upotevu. Athari ya Qur'ani kwa kundi hili la majini inaonekana wazi katika ushauri wao kwa kila mmoja kusikiliza usomaji wake, pamoja na taarifa waliyowapa watu wao kuihusu, wakiwasihi nao waamini. Kusimulia hadithi kwa namna hii kunapaswa kugusa mioyo ya wanadamu ambao ujumbe wa Qur'ani unawalenga kwanza. Unapaswa kuwa na athari yenye nguvu na ya kina kwao. Wakati huo huo, majini wanataja uhusiano kati ya kitabu alichopewa Musa na Qur'ani. Hii ni hakika ambayo wanadamu wameipuuza lakini majini wameisisitiza.

This last part of the surah presents a different way of tackling the basic question of faith. It tells us the story of a group of jinn who heard the Qur’an being recited and who listened to it. They felt, at heart, that it was the word of truth and believed in it instantly. They then rushed to their own people calling on them to believe, giving them the good news of earning forgiveness for their past sins and warning them against turning away and persisting in error. The effect of the Qur’an on this group of jinn is clearly indicated in their advice to each other to hearken to its recitation, as well as the report they gave to their people about it, urging them to believe too. Reporting the story in this way should touch the hearts of human beings to whom the message of the Qur’an is firstly addressed. It should have a telling and profound effect on them. At the same time, a reference to the link between the book given to Moses and the Qur’an is mentioned by the jinn. This is a fact ignored by humans but highlighted by the jinn.

Tena hili lina athari kubwa ambayo inaendana na ujumbe wa sura hiyo.

Again this has a profound effect which is consistent with the message of the surah.

Mazungumzo ya jinn pia yanarejelea kitabu kilicho wazi cha ulimwengu, kinachoshuhudia uweza mkuu wa Mungu unaodhihirika katika uumbaji wa mbingu na ardhi na uwezo wake wa kuwafufua wafu. Bila shaka, watu huibishania jambo hili bila kikomo, mara nyingi wakilikataa kabisa.

The jinris discourse also refers to the open book of the universe, testifying to God’s great power manifested in the creation of the heavens and the earth and His ability to bring the dead back to life. Needless to say, people argue endlessly about this, often denying it altogether.

Katika muktadha wa ufufuo, sura hii inaonyesha tukio kutoka Siku ya Hukumu, wakati wa kuletwa kwa makafiri mbele ya moto wa Jahannamu. Hatimaye, Mtume ﷺ anaagizwa kuwa mvumilivu katika dhiki na asiharakishe adhabu yao. Badala yake, aviache waishi maisha yao hadi wakati uliowekwa, ambao hakika utakuja upesi, si zaidi ya saa moja ya siku, ambayo ndani yake ujumbe unatolewa.

Tulituma kikundi cha Majini kwako ili wasikilize Qur'ani. Walipoisikia, walisema wao kwa wao, "Nyamazeni mkisikiliza!" Usomaji ulipomalizika, walirudi kwa watu wao kuwaonya. "Enyi watu wetu," walisema, "sisi tumesikia wahyi ulioteremshwa baada ya Musa, unaothibitisha yaliyotangulia kabla yake. Unaongoza kwenye haki na njia iliyonyooka. Enyi watu wetu! Itikieni wito wa Mungu na mwamini Yeye. Atakusameheni dhambi zenu na kukuokoa na adhabu chungu. Asiyeitikia wito wa Mungu hawezi kukimbia Kwake duniani, wala hatakuwa na mlinzi yeyote dhidi Yake. Hakika wamo katika upotevu dhahiri. Je, hawajui kwamba Mungu, aliyeumba mbingu na ardhi wala hakuchoka kuviumba, anao uwezo wa kuwafufua wafu? Naam, hakika Yeye ana uwezo juu ya kila kitu," (aya 29-33)

We sent to you a group of Jinn to listen to the Qur'an. When they heard it, they said to one another, "Listen in silence!' When the recitation ended, they returned to their people to warn them. "Our people,' they said, "we have been listening to revelation bestowed from on high after Moses, confirming what came before it. It guides to the truth and to a straight path. Our people! Respond to God's call and have faith in Him. He will forgive you your sins and deliver you from grievous suffering. He who does not respond to God's call cannot elude Him on earth, nor will they have any protector against Him. They are indeed in manifest error. Are they not aware that God, who has created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation, has the power to bring the dead back to life? Yes, indeed. He has power over all things, (verses 29-33)

Hao jini waliosikiliza Qur'ani kimya kimya walitoa kauli iliyojumuisha imani yote kwa ujumla: kuamini ufunuo wa Mungu; umoja wa ujumbe uliotolewa katika Taurati na Qur'ani; kukubali ukweli ambao Qur'ani inaongoza kuelekea; kuamini Siku ya Kiyama na ni matendo gani yanayopata msamaha na yapi yanayostahili adhabu; kukiri uwezo wa Mungu wa kuumba na mamlaka Yake juu ya viumbe vyote, pamoja na kutambua uhusiano kati ya kuumbwa kwa mara ya kwanza na kuwafufua wafu tena. Haya ndiyo misingi ambayo sura hii inayojadili kuanzia mwanzo hadi mwisho. Yanawasilishwa hapa na majini, kwa sauti inayotoka nje ya ulimwengu wa binadamu.

Those jinn who listened to the Qur’an in silence made a comment that embraced faith in its entirety: belief in Gods revelation; the unity of the message given in the Torah and the Qur’an; acknowledging the truth to which the Qur’an guides; belief in the Day of Resurrection and which actions earn forgiveness and which incur punishment; acknowledging God’s power of creation and His overall authority over all creatures, and recognizing the link between creation in the first place and bringing the dead back to life. These are the principles the surah discusses from start to finish. They are presented here by the jinn, in a voice that comes from beyond man’s world.

Tulikutumia kundi la majini wasikie Qur'ani. Walipoisikia, walisemezana: "Nyamazeni mkisikiliza!" Kisomo kilipomalizika, walirejea kwa watu wao kuwaonya.

We sent to you a group of jinn to listen to the Quran. When they heard it, they said to one another, "Listen in silence!* When the recitation ended, they returned to their people to warn them.

(Aya 29)

(Verse 29)

Kwa hiyo, ilikuwa ni jambo la makusudi kutoka kwa Mungu kwamba alituma kundi hili la majini kusikiliza Qur'ani; kwa maneno mengine, halikuwa tukio la bahati tu.

It was, then, a purposeful act of God’s that He sent this group of jinn to listen to the Qur’an; in other words, it was not mere coincidence.

Mungu alitaka majini wapate kujua kuhusu ujumbe Wake wa mwisho, kama walivyokwisha kujifunza hapo awali kuhusu ujumbe wa Musa. Kwa mpango Wake, baadhi yao watamwamini kisha wajiepushe na adhabu ya Jahannamu, ambayo ndiyo makao ya makafiri, awe ni jini au binadamu.

God wanted the jinn to know about His final message, just as they had earlier learnt about Moses’ message. According to His design, some of them will then believe and spare themselves punishment in hell, which is the abode of unbelievers whether jinn or humans.

Sura hii inatuchorea mbele ya macho yetu picha ya kundi hili, watu kati ya watatu na kumi (jzhh), walipokuwa wakisikiliza Qur'ani. Inatuchorea hisia zao wakati ilipokuwa ikisomwa: hofu kuu inayoongoza kwenye unyenyekevu na kutenda. "Walipoisikia, waliambiana, Sikilizeni kimya kimya?" Sentensi hii fupi inatoa picha wazi ya mwenendo wao walipokuwa wakisikiliza usomaji wa Qur'ani. Kisha, "Usomaji ulipomalizika, walirudi kwa watu wao kuwaonya." (Aya ya 29) Sentensi hii inathibitisha athari ambayo Qur'ani ilikuwa nayo kwao. Walisikiliza kwa ukimya kamili, wakiwa wamelenga akili zao katika usomaji wote. Ulipomalizika, walirudi kwa kasi kwa watu wao wenyewe.

The surah draws before our eyes an image of this group, between three and ten jzhh, as they listened to the Qur’an. It paints for us their feelings as it was being recited: an overwhelming awe leading to submission and action. “ When they heard it, they said to one another, Listen in silence?” This short sentence gives a clear impression of their attitude as they hearkened to the Qur’anic recitation. Then, ""When the recitation ended, they returned to their people to warn them.” (Verse 29) This sentence confirms the effect the Qur’an had on them. They listened in complete silence, attentions focused throughout the recitation. When it was over, they returned at speed to their own people.

Baada ya kutaja kuhuisha wafu, sura hiyo inachora picha ya hesabu na uwajibikaji kana kwamba tunaiona yote hii mbele ya macho yetu.

Having referred to bringing the dead back to life, the surah paints a picture of reckoning and accountability as though we see all this before our eyes:

Siku ambayo makafiri watapelekwa mbele ya Moto, [watauliza]: "Je, hii si kweli?" Watajibu: "Ndiyo, kwa Mola wetu." Atasema: "Basi onjeni adhabu hii, kwa sababu mlikuwa makafiri."

On the Day when the unbelievers will be brought before the fire, [they will be asked]: 7s this not the truth?' They will answer: ‘Yes, by our Lord.' He will say: ‘Taste, then, this suffering, for you were unbelievers' (Verse 34)

Mwanzo wa tukio hili ni simulizi, au utangulizi wa simulizi: “Siku watakapoletwa wale waliokufuru mbele ya Moto..” Wasikilizaji wanasubiri simulizi inayoeleza kitakachotokea, lakini badala ya maelezo, tukio liko mbele ya macho yetu, huku mazungumzo yakifanyika: “Je, hii si kweli? Ni swali gani! Linawapiga kama nyundo vichwani mwa wale waliokuwa wakikataa ukweli, wakiudhihaki ujumbe na kuharakisha adhabu waliyoonywa nayo. Sasa wamekabiliana uso kwa uso na ukweli ambao walikuwa wakiukanusha. Wanatoa jibu kwa woga na unyenyekevu: “Ndiyo, kwa Mola wetu Mlezi!” Sasa wanaapa ‘kwa Mola wetu Mlezi’, yule yule Mola ambaye mjumbe wake walimkataa na ambaye Ubwana wake walioukanusha. Sasa wanamwapia Yeye huku wakithibitisha ukweli ambao hapo awali walikuwa wakiukanusha.

The scene here begins with a narrative, or an introduction to a narrative: “On the Day when the unbelievers will be brought before the fire..The audience are waiting for the narrative describing what will happen, but instead of a description, the scene is present before our eyes, with a dialogue taking place: “Is this not the truth? What a question! It falls like a hammer on the heads of those who used to reject the truth, ridicule the message and hasten the punishment they were warned against. Now they are face to face with the truth they used to deny. They arrive at an answer, in fear and humility: “ Yes, by our Lord? Now they swear ‘ by our Lord', the very Lord whose messenger they rejected and whose Lordship they denied. Now they swear by Him affirming the truth they once denied.

Katika hatua hii, lawama imefikia kiwango cha juu kabisa. Mazungumzo yamekwisha na jambo limehitimishwa: "Atasema: 'Basi onjeni adhabu hii, kwa sababu mlikuwa makafiri'" (Aya ya 34). Hili ni jibu la swali rahisi tu: kosa linaonekana wazi kabisa, na mkosaji anakiri hatia yake. Matokeo yamekwisha kuamuliwa.

At this point, the matter reaches maximum rebuke. The dialogue is over and the issue is settled: “He will say: ‘Taste, then, this suffering, for you were unbelievers?” (Verse 34) It is just an answer to a simple question: the crime is seen in full clarity and the criminal admits his guilt. The outcome is settled.
