Surah Jinn (Arabic: “الجن”) is the 72nd chapter of the Quran and has 28 verses. To the untrained sight, the Devil Race does not exist since they are spiritual beings. According to the Quran, people are made of soil, but Jinns (Demons) are fashioned from smokeless fire. On the Day of Judgment, Jinn, like humans, will be held accountable for their actions, both in this life and the next.

The revelation of surah jinn has been interpreted in a wide variety of ways by numerous well-known Muslim scholars and researchers. The revelation of suraah Al-Jinn occurred on the Prophet Muhammad SAW, as related by Abdullah bin Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him). When He and His companions were at the fair of Ukaz. During a communal recitation of the Fajar prayer, he (PBUH) had a revelation of several verses from surah al-jinn.

Taif, a town less than a mile from Makkah, is a popular place for academics to speculate that Muhammad SAW visited. This surah was revealed when they spotted smoke coming from the area. It was disclosed more than three years before the Hijrah, hence it is considered to be a very early surah.
