A story behind a verse 1

The verse of the jinn Allah says in the Holy Quran,

قُلْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ اسْتَمَعَ نَفَرٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا سَمِعْنَا قُرْآنًا عَجَبًا (1) يَهْدِي إِلَى الرُّشْدِ فَآمَنَّا بِهِ ۖ وَلَن نُّشْرِكَ بِرَبِّنَا أَحَدًا(2)” سورة الجن”

“Say, {O Muhammad}, “it has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, ‘indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur`an. It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.”ٍ surrat Al jinn

This is a verse from surah called the jinn, and it is Makkan surah. It tells a wonderful story that took place in Mecca before the emigration. The jinn were listening to the news of heaven and what is happening of new things that come down to earth and in one day.

The jinn, who went up to know the news from the sky was struck by the dust, and they could not know anything of the news of heaven, and they came down to earth without benefit. So, they start to wonder between each other and Satan was among them, then some of them said that something new happened to prevent you from the news of heaven. Then told each other that they have to go and search for the reason behind this.

And actually, they went everywhere in the land, in its east and west looking for the reason behind this. And some of them went to (Tuhama) in Hijaz area and they found the Prophet peace be upon him pray the morning prayer with the companions and read the Quran when they heard the Quran; they said to each other; you should listen to this Quran and then said to each other this is the reason behind the block between us and the news of heaven. Then they returned to their people and said to them that we heard a wonderful Quran that guides to the truth and the good and we have believed in it and not to worship anyone with Allah anymore.

Here we find the impact of the Quran on the strength and faith of the jinn, as they believed very quickly just because they only heard the Quran.

And it is strange that they changed their belief directly because the jinn thought that Allah had a wife and a child and they also believed as some demons that angels are females and that they are the daughters of Allah which is falsehood.

And not only that, because of the grace of the Quran, they returned to their people calling to Allah and his straight path.

We wonder here too from their hurrying in believe in the Quran as they were a few days ago devils steal the news of heaven and as soon as they listened to the Quran, they changed their situation and became believers calling for Islam and the Quran that they heard. We will also know that demons are sects and tribes, like humans they are Muslims and non-Muslims and there is who obeys Allah and who disobeys, they are nations like us and Allah tests them with life like us and they have reward and punishment in Paradise or Fire.

But the most important thing we can learn from this story is the strength and greatness of the Quran in changing the souls and it is a cure for those souls from the evil of demons and mankind.

And also, to know that it came in the Quran and Sunnah that the Quran is the real power to defeat the Satan, and the Quran heals from the evil of Satan, magic and envy. It also has been proven in the book and the Sunnah that the Prophet treated some patients with reading the Quran on them and the companions as well and Allah heals many people just by reading Quran on them.

It is very important and great book that benefits people in this world and in the Hereafter and it is a guidance to the right path when the tribulations and adversities. We ask Allah to help us to be of the people of the Quran and to make the Quran as a mediator for us on the day of Resurrection.
