Meaning: The Jinn
Total Ayahs: 28
Place of Revelation: Mecca
Surah Al-Jinn begins with a group of jinn listening to the Quran and declaring their faith, affirming that divine speech reached them and that they must submit and warn their people. It highlights their recognition that guidance belongs solely to Allah, and they reject intercession by others. The Surah contrasts righteous jinn who believe with those who deny the Most Merciful, and endorses the Prophet’s mission. It concludes by urging Muhammad to declare his reliance on Allah alone and avoid seeking their support.
The unseen realm also bears witness to the Quran’s truth; belief and accountability are universal. Humans and jinn alike are responsible for their choices and must rely on the One Creator.
Reciting it reminds believers of spiritual realities beyond the visible, fosters reliance on Allah, protects against evil unseen forces, and instills humility by recognizing an entire community of beings held accountable—teaching both cautious awe and confident submission.
72:1–2 – Listening jinn testify to truth; 72:15 – Righteous among them say: ‘We believe...’, affirming universal accountability.
Acknowledge the unseen, submit sincerely, and understand that divine judgment applies to all creation.
