Al-Ahqaf (The Dunes)

30. They said: “O our people! Verily, we have heard [the Verses of] a Book sent down after Musa, confirming what preceded it: it guides to the Truth and to the Straight Path.”

The prophets of mankind are the prophets of the jinn as well and a group of the jinn were appointed to promulgate prophetic teachings among their own society:

(“They said: ‘O our people! Verily, we have heard …’”).

The jinn knew the history of prophets and the Divine Books.

Upon hearing a number of Verses the jinn comprehended the truth; however, people like Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab spent a life time with the Prophet (S); however they did not wish to perceive the truth:

(“It guides to the truth”).

According to the blessed Verse in question, upon returning to their people, the jinn said:

“We have heard [the Verses] of a Book sent down after Musa.” It is said that the jinn made no mention of the Christian Bible since they were either Jews or unaware of the Christian Bible or did not believe in it. Upon their return, they addressed their people saying that they had heard a Book confirming the preceding Scriptures including the prophets’ truthfulness and guiding to the truth and the straight path.”
