The Jinn Hearing the Qur'an and Their Obligation Regarding Its Contents

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q13: And he stated in the section on the verses concerning the Jinn and their listening to the Qur'an in Surat al-Ahqaf and Surat al-Jinn that the Jinn are intended to be: Jewish and Christian peoples, and he commented on his statement: (The Prophet is a human being sent to human beings, and what is the concern of the Jinn in that)?
A 13 : It is established by evidence that the message of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is general for the two groups: humans and Jinn. Allah the Exalted said:
To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers.لِيُنْذِرَ مَنْ كَانَ حَيًّا وَيَحِقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ
[Ya-Sin 36:70]
, and the Jinn are among the rational of the living, and He said:
It is not except a reminder to the worlds.إِنْ هُوَ إِلا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ
[Yusuf 12:104]
, and the Jinn are among the worlds, and He said:
And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلا رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ
[Al-Anbya 21:107]
, and the Jinn are among the worlds, and He said:
Say, "What thing is greatest in testimony?" Say, "Allah is witness between me and you. And this Qur'an was revealed to me that I may warn you thereby and whomever it reaches.قُلْ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَكْبَرُ شَهَادَةً قُلِ اللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنُ لأُنْذِرَكُمْ بِهِ وَمَنْ بَلَغَ
[Al-An'am 6:19]

, and the Jinn are among those to whom the message of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) reached, and He said:
Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a warner -تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَـزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَالَمِينَ نَذِيرًا
[Al-Furqan 25:1]
, and the Jinn are among the worlds. After the Most High clarified His creation of humans and Jinn and the origin of each from which they were created, and mentioned many of His blessings upon His servants, He rebuked in the Qur'an—which is the Shari'ah for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Ummah in general—both humans and Jinn for not being grateful for His blessings. He said:
So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny?فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ
[Ar-Rahman 55:13]
, repeatedly following the universal cosmic blessings that encompass both, and after the types of retribution, to compel them to thank Allah by affirming His oneness and obeying Him, and to warn them of the consequences of their disbelief in His blessings upon them. And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
