سُورَةُ الجِنّ

Al-Jinn, The Jinn

The seventy-second surah of the Qur'an, 28 ayahs, revealed in Makkah. Most of it is the jinn’s own words to their people.

Shooting stars over the palms of Nakhla, where the jinn heard the Qur’an

قُلۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنَّهُ ٱسۡتَمَعَ نَفَرٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡجِنِّ فَقَالُوٓاْ إِنَّا سَمِعۡنَا قُرۡءَانًا عَجَبٗا

Say: It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, “We have heard an amazing Qur’an.” (72:1)
