182            GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THE QUR'AN


                 THE JINN ARE ENEMIES OF THE PROPHET
                 In this way We have appointed as enemies to every Prophet satans
               from both mankind and from the jinn, who inspire each other with
               delusions by means of specious words – if your Lord had willed, they
               would not have done it, so abandon them and all they fabricate. (Surat
               al-Anam, 112)

                 THEY BECOME INTIMATE COMPANIONS
                 TO THEIR FOLLOWERS

                 We have assigned close comrades to them who have made what is be-
               fore them and behind them seem good to them. And the statement about
               the nations, both of jinn and men, who passed away before them has
               proved true of them as well. Certainly they were lost. (Surah Fussilat, 25)

                 JINN ON THE DAY OF RISING
                 When heaven is split apart and goes red like dregs of oil. So which of
               your Lord's blessings do you both then deny? That Day no man or jinn
               will be asked about his sin. (Surat ar-Rahman, 37-39)

                 DISBELIEVING JINN WILL ENTER HELL
                 'Had We so willed We could have given guidance to everyone, but
               now My Words are shown to be true: that I shall fill up Hell entirely
               with jinn and human beings. (Surat as-Sajda, 13)
                 We created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts
               they do not understand with. They have eyes they do not see with.
               They have ears they do not hear with. Such people are like cattle. No,
               they are even worse! They are the unaware. (Surat al-A'raf, 179)
                 He will say, 'Enter the Fire together with the nations of jinn and men
               who have passed away before you.' Each time a nation enters, it will
               curse its sister nation, until, when they are all gathered together in it, the
               last of them will say to the first, 'Our Lord, those are the ones who mis-
               guided us, so give them a double punishment in the Fire.' He will say,
               'Each will receive double. But you do not know it.' (Surat al-A'raf, 38)
