  • Jinns Working For Prophet Sulaiman

    Posted by Shehar Bano on May 28, 2021 at 3:43 pm

    It has been stated in the Quran in 34:14:

    “So, when We decided (that) death (should come) upon him, nothing gave them any indication of his death, except a creature of the earth that had eaten up his sceptre. So, when he fell down, the Jinns came to know that if they had the knowledge of the Unseen, they would not have stayed (so long) in the humiliating punishment.”

    Why is the labour of these Jinns referred to as a humiliating punishment? It has been stated in Tadabbur e Quran that this ayat suggests that Prophet Sulaiman only employed ‘Shareer’ (evil) Jinns in his service but it is not clear to me from the ayat (perhaps I am missing some context).

    I found the answer to my question in the Quran 21:82, indeed these Jinn were Shayateen:

    “And of the devils [i.e., jinn] were those who dived for him and did work other than that. And We were of them a guardian.”
