Question:
What is the wisdom in placing the name of the jinn before the humans in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Adh-Dhariyat 51:56]?
Answer:
Allah knows best, because they are more numerous than the humans. Or perhaps it is because we do not see them, in order to affirm their existence and that they are among the creation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)? Allah knows best about that. Yes. Although the conjunction “wa” (and) in[Adh-Dhariyat 51:56] does not imply order; rather, it is for pure conjunction, as the scholars say. The conjunction “wa” is for pure conjunction and does not imply order.
