JINN ARE CREATED TO WORSHIP Allah
I only created jinn and man to worship Me. (Surat adh-Dhariyat, 56)
JINN ARE CREATED OUT OF FIRE
We created the jinn before out of the fire of a searing wind. (Surat al-Hijr, 27)
JINN CAN NEVER BRING THE LIKE OF THE QUR'AN
Say: 'If both men and jinn banded together to produce the like of this
Qur'an, they could never produce anything like it, even if they backed
each other up.' (Surat al-Isra, 88)
SURAT AL-JINN IN THE QUR'AN
Say: 'It has been revealed to me that a band of the jinn listened and
said, "We have heard a most amazing Recitation. It leads to right
guidance so we believe in it and will not associate anyone with our
Lord. He – exalted be the Majesty of our Lord ! –has neither wife nor
son. The fools among us have uttered a vile slander against Allah. We
did not think it possible for either man or jinn to tell a lie against
Allah. Certain men from among mankind used to seek refuge with certain
men from among the jinn but they increased them in wickedness. They
thought – as you also think – that Allah would never raise up anyone. We
tried, as usual, to travel to heaven in search of news but found it
filled with fierce guards and flaming fires. We used to sit there on
special seats to listen in. But anyone listening now finds a fiery
flaming fire in wait for him. We have no idea whether evil is intended
for those on the earth, or whether their Lord intends them to be rightly
guided. Among us there are some who are righteous and some who are
other than that. We follow many different paths. We realised we would
never thwart Allah on earth and would never thwart Him by flight, and
when we heard the guidance, we believed in it. Anyone who believes in
his Lord need fear neither belittlement nor tyranny. Some of us are
Muslims and some are deviators. Those who have become Muslim are those
who sought right guidance; the deviators will be firewood for
Hellfire."' If only they were to go straight on the Path, We would give
them abundant water to drink so that We could test them by it. Whoever
turns aside from the remembrance of his Lord, He will introduce him to
an arduous punishment. All the places of worhsip belong to Allah so do
not call on anyone else besides Allah. When the servant of Allah stands
calling on Him, they almost swarm all over him. Say: 'I call only upon
my Lord and do not associate anyone else with Him.' Say: 'I possess no
power to do you harm or to guide you right.' Say: 'No one can protect me
from Allah and I will never find any refuge apart from Him –only in
transmitting from Allah and His Messages. As for him who disobeys Allah
and His Messenger, he will have the Fire of Hell, remaining in it
timelessly, for ever and ever.' So that when they see what they were
promised, they will know who has less support and smaller numbers. Say:
'I do not know whether what you are promised is close or whether my Lord
will appoint a longer time before it.' He is the Knower of the Unseen,
and does not divulge His Unseen to anyone –except a Messenger with whom
He is well pleased, and then He posts sentinels before him and behind
him, so that He may know that they have indeed transmitted the Messages
of their Lord. He encompasses what is in their hands and has counted the
exact number of everything. (Surat al-Jinn, 1-28)
JINN HAVE LIMITED POWER
Company of jinn and men, if you are able to pierce through the confines
of the heavens and earth, pierce through them.You will not pierce
through except with a clear authority. So which of your Lord's blessings
do you both then deny? He will pursue you with a piercing flame and
fiery smoke, and you will not be helped. (Surat ar-Rahman, 33-35)
IBLIS IS ONE OF THE JINN
When We said to the angels, 'Prostrate yourselves to Adam,' they
prostrated with the exception of Iblis. He was one of the jinn and
wantonly deviated from his Lord's command. Do you take him and his
offspring as protectors apart from Me when they are your enemy? How evil
is the exchange the wrongdoers make! (Surat al-Kahf, 50)
JINN TRANSMIT THE QUR'AN TO THEIR PEOPLE
And We diverted a group of jinn towards you to listen to the Qur'an.
When they were in earshot of it they said, 'Be quiet and listen.' When
it was over they went back to their people, warning them. They said,
'Our people, we have heard a Book which was sent down after Musa,
confirming what came before it, guiding to the truth and to a straight
path. Our people, respond to Allah's caller and believe in Him. He will
forgive you some of your wrong actions and save you from a painful
punishment. Those who do not respond to Allah's caller cannot thwart
Allah on earth and have no protectors apart from Him. Such people are
clearly misguided.' (Surat al-Ahqaf, 29-32)
JINN are warned In the world
On the Day We gather them all together: 'Company of jinn, you gained
many followers among mankind.' And their friends among mankind will say,
'Our Lord, we benefited from one another, and now we have reached the
term which You determined for us.' He will say, 'The Fire is your home.
You will be in it timelessly, for ever, except as Allah wills. Your Lord
is All-Wise, All-Knowing.' In that way We make the wrongdoers friends
of one another because of what they have done. Company of jinn and men!
Did not Messengers come to you from among yourselves relating My Signs
to you and warning you of the encounter of this Day of yours? They will
say, 'We testify against ourselves.' The life of "this world deluded
them and they will testify against themselves that they were
disbelievers. (Surat al-Anam, 128-130)
JINN AT THE SERVICE OF MESSENGERS AND THEIR SERVICES
An imp of the jinn said, 'I will bring it to you before you get up from
your seat. I am strong and trustworthy enough to do it.' (Surat an-Naml, 39)
And We gave Sulayman power over the wind – a month's journey in the
morning and a month in the evening. And We made a fount of molten copper
flow out for him. And some of the jinn worked in front of him by his
Lord's permission. And if a single one of them deviates at all from Our
command, We let him taste the punishment of the Searing Blaze. (Surah Saba, 12)
He (Sulayman) said (to Hoopoe), 'We will soon see if you have told the
truth or are a liar. Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them and
then withdraw from them a little and see how they respond.'She said,
'Council! A noble letter has been delivered to me. (Surat an-Naml, 27-29)
And the satans, every builder and diver, and others of them, yoked together in chains. (Surah Sad, 37-38)
Sulayman's troops, made up of jinn and men and birds, were assembled for him, paraded in tight ranks. (Surat an-Naml, 17)
THE CLAIM OF DISBELIEVERS THAT THERE IS A KINSHIP BETWEEN ALLAH AND THE JINN
They claim there is a blood-tie between Him and the jinn but the jinn know very well that they will be arraigned. (Surat as-Saffat, 158)
DENIERS MAKE THE JINN ASSOCIATES WITH ALLAH
Yet they make the jinn co-partners with Allah when He created them! And
they atttribute sons and daughters to Him without any knowledge. Glory
be to Him! He is far above what they describe! (Surat al-Anam, 100)
SOME PEOPLE WORSHIP THE JINN
They will say, 'Glory be to You! You are our Protector, not them. No,
they were worshipping the jinn. They mostly had faith in them.' (Surah Saba, 41)
JINN'S WHISPERING INTO HEART
… from the evil of the insidious whisperer who whispers in people's breasts and comes from the jinn and from mankind.' (Surat an-Nas, 4-6)
THE JINN ARE ENEMIES OF THE PROPHET
In this way We have appointed as enemies to every Prophet satans from
both mankind and from the jinn, who inspire each other with delusions by
means of specious words – if your Lord had willed, they would not have
done it, so abandon them and all they fabricate. (Surat al-Anam, 112)
THEY BECOME INTIMATE COMPANIONS TO THEIR FOLLOWERS
We have assigned close comrades to them who have made what is before
them and behind them seem good to them. And the statement about the
nations, both of jinn and men, who passed away before them has proved
true of them as well. Certainly they were lost. (Surah Fussilat, 25)
Jinn on the day of rising
When heaven is split apart and goes red like dregs of oil. So which of
your Lord's blessings do you both then deny? That Day no man or jinn
will be asked about his sin. (Surat ar-Rahman, 37-39)
DISBELIEVING JINN WILL ENTER HELL
'Had We so willed We could have given guidance to everyone, but now My
Words are shown to be true: that I shall fill up Hell entirely with jinn
and human beings. (Surat as-Sajda, 13)
We created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts they
do not understand with. They have eyes they do not see with. They have
ears they do not hear with. Such people are like cattle. No, they are
even worse! They are the unaware. (Surat al-A'raf, 179)
He will say, 'Enter the Fire together with the nations of jinn and men
who have passed away before you.' Each time a nation enters, it will
curse its sister nation, until, when they are all gathered together in
it, the last of them will say to the first, 'Our Lord, those are the
ones who misguided us, so give them a double punishment in the Fire.' He
will say, 'Each will receive double. But you do not know it.' (Surat al-A'raf, 38)
