Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father, and may He bless you and benefit Islam and the Muslims through you. The questioner says: In the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He,[Qaf 50:16], the meaning has been established that Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, singled out the human being in this verse because he is the one who rebels and causes corruption. Does this mean that the jinn are included in the term "human being"?
Answer:
Yes, indeed, there is no doubt, because they are obligated just like humans, obligated and commanded to follow the messengers. Yes.
