About this surah
This surah is classified as revealed in the Meccan period. It opens with the Messenger being told that a group of jinn listened to the Quran, found that it guides to what is right, and came to believe. A long passage then quotes the jinn themselves: they affirm that their Lord has taken neither wife nor son, recall that they once sat in the heaven to eavesdrop but now find it guarded by stern guards and shooting flames, and admit that some of them are righteous and some are not, and that none can escape God. The later verses state that places of prostration belong to God alone, and the Messenger is told to say that he has no power to harm or guide anyone and is only charged with delivering the message. It ends by saying that God alone knows the unseen and reveals it only to a messenger He approves.
