The Sending of Messengers from the Jinn and Women

Question:
The questioner asks: Were any messengers sent from among the jinn? And is the name of any of them mentioned in the Noble Qur'an, if there were messengers from among them?

Answer:
There is no report that any of the jinn were messengers; rather, they are followers of the humans. This is evidenced by the fact that when the jinn heard the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) , it indicates that the Muslims among the jinn were upon the religion of the prophets from the children of Adam. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: “And We sent not before you .” And all the messengers came with revelation from Allah, but there is no report that any of the jinn was a messenger, nor any of the women. They are not among those from whom no messenger was sent; no messenger was sent from the women, and no messenger was sent from the jinn. Rather, the messengers were men from the children of Adam. The believers among the jinn follow the messengers, and they follow the believers among the humans, and they are brothers in religion.
