The surah's big idea

Even the jinn believed when they heard the Quran, so we seek refuge in and call on Allah alone

What did I learn from the surah?

  1. 1. An amazing Quran
    Say, O Messenger: Allah has revealed to me that a group of jinn listened to the Quran and said to their people: we have heard an amazing Quran that guides to the truth, so we believed in it, and we will never set up anyone as a partner with our Lord.
  2. 2. Exalted is our Lord
    They said: exalted is the majesty of our Lord; He has taken neither a wife nor a son. Our foolish one, Iblis, used to say lies about Allah, and we thought that no human or jinn would ever lie about Allah.
  3. 3. The true refuge
    Some men among humans used to seek protection from men among the jinn, and they only made them more afraid. And the disbelievers thought, as you thought, that Allah would never raise anyone. Seeking protection from other than Allah is shirk.
  4. 4. Strong guards and flames
    They said: we tried to reach the sky and found it filled with strong guards and burning flames. We used to sit there to listen in secret, but whoever listens now finds a flame waiting for him. And we do not know whether harm or good is meant for the people of the earth.
  5. 5. When we heard the guidance
    They said: among us are the righteous and others who are not; we were groups going different ways. We are sure that we cannot escape Allah on earth or by running away. When we heard the guidance, we believed in it; whoever believes in his Lord fears no loss and no wrong.
  6. 6. Abundant water
    Among us are Muslims and among us are wrongdoers; whoever submits has chosen the right path, and the wrongdoers are fuel for Hell. If people stayed upright on Islam, We would give them plenty of water to drink, to test them; and whoever turns away from his Lord's remembrance, He will put into a hard punishment.
  7. 7. The mosques are for Allah
    The mosques are for worshipping Allah alone, so do not call on anyone with Allah in them. And when Muhammad, peace be upon him, stood to worship his Lord, the jinn almost crowded around him to hear the Quran.
  8. 8. I only call on my Lord
    Say: I only call on my Lord and set up no partner with Him. I have no power to harm you or to guide you. No one can protect me from Allah, and I find no refuge except Him; I only deliver His message. Whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger will have the Fire of Hell.
  9. 9. Knower of the unseen
    Say: I do not know whether what you are promised is near or far. Allah is the Knower of the unseen; He shows it to no one except a messenger He chooses, and He guards His message with angels. He surrounds everything with His knowledge and has counted everything.
