Surah 6 Al-An'am, Ayat 128-128
وَيَوۡمَ يَحۡشُرُهُمۡ جَمِيۡعًا ۚ يٰمَعۡشَرَ الۡجِنِّ قَدِ اسۡتَكۡثَرۡتُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاِنۡسِۚ وَقَالَ اَوۡلِيٰٓـئُهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاِنۡسِ رَبَّنَا اسۡتَمۡتَعَ بَعۡضُنَا بِبَعۡضٍ وَّبَلَغۡنَاۤ اَجَلَـنَا الَّذِىۡۤ اَجَّلۡتَ لَـنَا ؕ قَالَ النَّارُ مَثۡوٰٮكُمۡ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَاۤ اِلَّا مَا شَآءَ اللّٰهُؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيۡمٌ عَلِيۡمٌ
﴿6:128﴾
(6:128) And on the Day when He shall muster them all together, He will say
(to the jinn):94 'O assembly of the jinn, you have seduced a good
many of mankind.' And their companions from among the humans will say: 'Our
Lord! We did indeed benefit from one another95 and now have reached
the term which You had set for us.' Thereupon Allah will say: 'The Fire is now
your abode, and therein you shall abide.' Only those whom Allah wills shall
escape the Fire. Surely your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing.96
Notes
94. The term finn here refers to the evil ones among the jinn.
95. This means that they had derived unfair benefit from one another and
had served their selfish ends by mutual deception.
96. Even though God has the right to punish whoever He wishes and to forgive
whoever He wishes, His punishing and forgiving will be neither arbitrary nor
whimsical. It will rather be founded on absolute knowledge and wisdom. God will
forgive those whom He knows not to be responsible for their guilt, and thus
not liable to punishment according to His wisdom and justice.
