Summary of Sunni concepts Jinn and the knowledge of the unseen Charlatans and charlatans claim to have knowledge of the unseen through communication with the jinn It is pure slander and quackery God Almighty said Say: No one in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except God This is true of everyone in the heavens and the earth It includes all humans and jinn Especially regarding the jinn God Almighty said about the jinn who were subjected to the service of His Prophet Solomon, peace be upon him When We decreed death upon him, they had nothing to do with his death except an animal of the earth that ate from his excrement When he fell, the jinn realized that if they had knowledge of the unseen, they would not have remained in humiliating torment Before the mission of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, the jinn were listening eavesdropping from the sky They snatch the word from the truth They mix with it a hundred lies They throw it into the ears of their saints, the soothsayers and fortune-tellers As the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said When the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, was sent It prevented the jinn from eavesdropping on the sky God Almighty said And We have placed constellations in the sky and decorated them for the beholders And We protected it from every accursed devil Except for one who eavesdrops, and is followed by a clear shooting star And in Surah Al-Jinn We touched the sky and found it full of strong guards and meteors And we used to sit there in seats to listen Whoever listens now will find a meteor waiting for him And the Almighty said They do not listen to the supreme council They are pelted from all sides They will be defeated, and they will have a severe torment Except for the one who was snatched away and followed by a piercing shooting star It is never permissible to believe that the jinn knows the unseen Or believe soothsayers and fortune-tellers in what they say The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said Whoever goes to a fortune teller and asks him about something His prayers were not accepted for forty nights Narrated by Muslim
