Summary of Sunni concepts
Assignment of the jinn
The jinn are accountable and are subject to Sharia law, just like humans
They were created for the same purpose for which mankind was created
God Almighty said
I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me
Messengers were sent to them just as they were sent to mankind
God Almighty said
O community of jinn and mankind, did not messengers from among you come to you narrating to you My verses?
And they warn you of the meeting of this day of yours
A word from you suggests that the messengers of the jinn are of their kind
Or that their messengers are only messengers of mankind themselves
Because it was mentioned after all the jinn and mankind were mentioned
This work is not based on disagreement
It is not paid attention to in general
However, we are certain that they are entrusted with the message of our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
According to the words of God Almighty
Say: It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn listened
They said, “We have heard a wondrous Qur’an.”
It guides us to maturity, so we believe in Him
We will not associate anyone with our Lord
And the Almighty said a story about the words of the jinn
They said, “O our people, we have heard a letter.”
It was sent down after Moses, confirming what was before him
It guides you to the truth and a straight path
O our people, answer God’s caller
Believe in Him and He will forgive you of your sins
And He will save you from a painful punishment
Whoever does not respond to God’s caller is not a miracle on earth
He has no guardians besides Him
Those are in clear error
These verses also benefit their knowledge of the law of God’s Prophet Moses, peace be upon him
It also confirms their assignment to our law
The jinn are like humans in their attitude towards obligation and worship
Among them are obedient believers
Among them are the sinners
Among them are the unbelievers
As God told them they said
I am among us Muslims and among us are those who neglect
Whoever converts to Islam, those will seek righteousness
As for those who fall short, they are firewood for Hell
Their disbelievers will also testify against themselves on the Day of Resurrection of their disbelief, just like humans
So God Almighty says
They testified against themselves that they were unbelievers
It includes them because the verse is the beginning of it
O community of jinn and mankind, did not messengers from among yourselves come to you?
Jinn are like humans
They enter Hell or Heaven according to their faith and deeds
Concerning Hell, God Almighty said:
He said, “Enter among nations that have emptied your grave, including jinn and humans, in Hell.”
As for heaven
God has blessed their believers by entering it like humans
God Almighty said
Addressing all humans and jinn
And for whoever fears standing before his Lord, there will be two Paradise
So which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?
