Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

The Jinns testify that among Them there are Believers, Disbelievers, Misguided and Guided

Allah says that the Jinns said about themselves,

وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّـلِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَلِكَ

(There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary;) meaning, other than that.

Read in Context

Chapter 72, Page 572, Juz 29

1. Say [Prophet], ‘It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn once listened in and said, “We have heard a wondrous Quran, 2. that gives guidance to the right path, and we have come to believe it––We shall never set up partners with our Lord–– 3. and that He––exalted be the glory of our Lord!––has neither spouse nor child. 4. Outrageous things have been said about God by the foolish among us, 5. although we had thought that no man or jinn would [dare to] tell a lie about Him. 6. Men have sought refuge with the jinn in the past, but they only misguided them further. 7. They thought, as you did, that God would never raise anyone from the dead. 8. We tried to reach heaven, but discovered it to be full of stern guards and shooting stars–– 9. we used to sit in places there, listening, but anyone trying to listen now will find a shooting star lying in wait for him–– 10. [so now] we do not know whether those who live on earth are due for misfortune, or whether their Lord intends to guide them. 11. Some of us are righteous and others less so: we follow different paths. 12. We know we can never frustrate God on earth; we can never escape Him. 13. When we heard the guidance we came to believe: whoever believes in his Lord need fear no loss nor injustice. 14. Some of us submit to Him and others go the wrong way: those who submit to God have found wise guidance, 15. but those who go wrong will be fuel for Hellfire.” ’

- M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
