Question:
Are messengers sent from among the jinn to their people?

Answer:
This is a matter of disagreement among the scholars, and the correct view is that the messengers are from among the humans. Some say that there are messengers among the jinn because Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
O company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My versesيَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ أَلَمْ يَأْتِكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّنكُمْ يَقُصُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِي
[Al-An'am 6:130]
"from among you" means from your kind, from the same species. They are not from the jinn, but rather from the humans. So the messengers are from the humans; this is the correct view among the scholars' opinions.
