The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How are you, my master?The Shaykh ؟
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner: Is it clear, if Allah wills?

The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : May Allah increase your virtue. I believe in Surat al-Jinn. May Allah send blessings upon our master Muhammad.
The Shaykh :[Al-Kahf 18:24] ، [Al-Kahf 18:24] .
The questioner : ... Allah, I believe in Surat al-Jinn. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when he was reciting the Qur'an, the jinn heard the Qur'an, so they went on to inform the Muslims, of course, the jinn among the Muslims.
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : So they went on to inform their group.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner :[Al-Ahqaf 46:30] .
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Why didn't they say it was revealed after Isa, even though the time period between the Messenger (peace be upon him) and Isa is closer than that between our master Musa (peace be upon him)?
The Shaykh : So this is a problem for you.
The questioner : No, I loved it, by Allah, like this, and while I was reading it, I loved that I would know the reason why, just that.
The Shaykh : That is, if it exists now on the face of the earth.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Muslims.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And Christians and Jews and Buddhists and so on, I wonder if in the time before the Messenger's mission, these were not present.
The questioner : They were present.
The Shaykh : They were present.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And just as among the humans there are Jews and there are Christians and there are Sabians, as is explicit in the Noble Qur'an, so too among the jinn, correct?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So it is possible that those who said this were from the Jewish jinn who do not acknowledge the Gospel.
The questioner : The Gospel.
The Shaykh : Like the Jews among the humans.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : This is the answer.
The questioner : This is the reason.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: My master, may Allah reward you with good.
