About this course
Explore the Qur’anic account of jinn through a detailed reading of Sūrat al-Jinn. The opening lessons introduce the chapter and how the Prophet was informed about jinn, then examine their Qur’anic descriptions, religious orientations and the different groups discussed in the text.
The study proceeds through polytheism, claims about God, seeking refuge with jinn and questions about prophethood. Later lessons address the heavens, eavesdropping, the relationship between jinn and the inhabitants of the earth, and distinctions between righteous and wicked jinn. The closing discussion considers the pursuit of truth and the theme of testing.
