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)
