Suratul Jinn: Chapter Verses (16-20)

Arabic Text of Suratul Jinn Verses 16-20

1. وَأَن لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُم مَّاءً غَدَقًا
2. لِّنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ ۚ وَمَن يُعْرِضْ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّهِ يَسْلُكْهُ عَذَابًا صَعَدًا
3. وَأَنَّ الْمَسَاجِدَ لِلَّهِ فَلَا تَدْعُوا مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا
4. وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَدْعُوهُ كَادُوا يَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَدًا
5. قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَدْعُو رَبِّي وَلَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ أَحَدًا

Meaning of Suratul Jinn Verses 16-20

1. And [He revealed] that if they had remained on the [right] way, We would have given them abundant water.
2. So that We might test them with it. And whoever turns away from the remembrance of his Lord – He will put him into increasing punishment.
3. And [He revealed] that [all] mosques are for Allah, so do not invoke with Allah anyone [else].
4. And that when the Servant of Allah (Muhammad) stood up invoking Him, they almost became a compacted mass around him.
5. Say, ‘I only invoke my Lord and do not associate with Him anyone.’

Lessons from Suratul Jinn Verses 16-20

These verses teach us several important lessons:

1. **Reward for Righteousness:** Those who follow the straight path of Islam and obey Allah will be blessed with abundant provisions and a good life in this world and the Hereafter.
2. **Consequence of Disobedience:** Turning away from the remembrance of Allah and His commands leads to severe and increasing punishment.
3. **Exclusivity of Worship:** All mosques are dedicated solely for the worship of Allah. No one else should be invoked or worshipped alongside Him. This reinforces the concept of Tawhid (Oneness of Allah).
4. **Prophet Muhammad’s Steadfastness:** Prophet Muhammad (SAW) stood firm in calling people to worship Allah alone, even when faced with opposition and large crowds.
5. **Pure Monotheism:** The core message is to worship Allah, the Lord, alone and not to associate any partners with Him in worship.
