The Vengeful Djinn: Unveiling the Hidden Agenda of Genies
setting forth unto you My signs, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that deceived them. So against themselves will they bear witness that they rejected Faith."
    Yet, they join the djinn as partners in worship with Allah, though He has created them (the djinn), and they attribute falsely without knowledge sons and daughters to Him. Be He glorified and exalted above all that they attribute to him. He is the originator of the heavens and the earth. How can he have children when He has no wife? He created all things and he is the all-knower of everything. Such is Allah, your Lord! So worship Him Alone, and he is the wakil4 over all things.
    Comments: This chapter centers on the fall of Iblis from the grace of God. He is allowed to influence men who have strayed away from the right path, but not allowed to touch those who are chosen. Here we see that some djinn did not teach the worship of God to their children, and that some djinn have corrupted human beings. The evil djinn have assigned devils, evil men, or djinn to attack the prophets.
    THE QUR'AN-AL-ARAF (THE HEIGHTS) 7.38, P79
    [7.38] He will say: Enter into fire among the nations that have passed away before you from among djinn and men; whenever a nation shall enter, it shall curse its sister, until when they have all come up with one another into it; the last of them shall say with regard to the foremost of them: Our Lord! These led us astray therefore give them a double chastisement of the fire. He
will say: Every one shall have double but you do not know.

    [7.179] And surely, we have created many of the djinn and
mankind for Hell. They have hearts wherewith they understand
not, they have eyes wherewith they see not, and they have ears
wherewith they hear not the truth. They are like cattle, nay even
more astray; those! They are the heedless ones. Some people
asked Allah's Apostle about the foretellers [fortune tellers]. He
said, "They are nothing." They said, "0 Allahs Apostle! Sometimes they tell us of a thing which turns out to be true." Allah's
Apostle said, "A djinn snatches that true word and pours it into
the ear of his friend the foreteller as one puts something into a
bottle. The foreteller then mixes with that word one hundred
lies. And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitan (Satan)
then seek refuge with Allah. Verily, he is all-hearer, all-knower.
And they have invented a kinship between Him and the djinn,
but the djinn know well that they have indeed to appear before. And on the Day when He will gather them together and
say: 0 you assembly of djinn! Many did you mislead of men 0
you assembly of djinn and mankind! Did not there come to you
Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you my verses and
warning you of the meeting of this day of yours? They will say:
"We bear witness against ourselves. It was the life of this world
that deceived them. And they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.
    Comments: The Qur'an is against fortune-telling and the readings
of today's psychics and mediums. Christianity also takes a similar
stance on this topic.

    THE QUR'AN-HUD (THE HOLY PROPHET) 11.119
    Except him on whom your Lord has bestowed his mercy and
for that did he create them. And the Word of your Lord has
been fulfilled. Surely, I shall fill Hell with djinn and men all together. This is because your Lord would not destroy the populations of towns for their wrongdoing while their people were
unaware.
    THE QUR'AN-IBRAHIM (ABRAHAM) 14.22
    And Shaitan (Iblis/Satan) will say when the matter has been
decided: Verily, Allah promised you a promise of truth. And I
too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over
you except that I called you, so you responded to me. So blame
me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help you, nor can you
help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a
