Do the jinn have angels who record their deeds as humans have?.
Praise be to Allaah.
The jinn are accountablejust as humans are; those of them who obey
Allah will enter Paradise,and those who disobey Him will enter Hell.
The words of the Qur'aan areaddressed to them too and they will be
broughtto account on the Day of Resurrection for their deeds, as Allah
says (interpretation of the meaning):
"And they have inventeda kinship between Him and the jinn, but the
jinnknow well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they
will be called to account)"
[al-Saaffaat 37:158].
Mujaahid said: They will be brought to account, as it says in
Jaami'al-Bayaan by al-Tabari (21/122). Imam al-Bukhaari (may Allah
have mercy on him) included a chapter in hisSaheeh entitled "Mention
of the jinn andtheir reward and punishment", in which he quoted some
verses, including this verse, and he quoted the tafseer of Mujaahid
(may Allah have mercy on him).
Al-'Allaamah al-Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
i.e., these mushrikeen claimed there was a relationship between Allah
and the jinn, as theclaim that the angels were the daughters of Allah
and that their mothers were the daughters of the mastersamong the
jinn. But in fact, the jinn know that they will be brought to account
before Allah, to be rewarded or punished, and if there were any
relationship between them and Him, that would not be the case. End
quote.
Tafseer al-Kareem al-Rahmaan, p. 708
The evidence for this hasbeen discussed in detail in the answer to
question number 2340 and 13378 .
Secondly:
As for how the deeds of the jinn are recorded and whether their
situation in this regard islike that of humans, for each of whom Allah
has appointed two angels torecord his deeds and watch over his
actions, that is a matter of the unseen which Allah has not told us
about. The verses and hadeeths thatspeak of that have to do with
humans, not jinn, as Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
"O man! What has made you careless about your Lord, the Most Generous?
7. Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion.
8. In whatever form He willed, He put you together.
9. Nay! But you deny Ad-Deen (i.e. the Day of Recompense).
10. But verily, over you (are appointed angels incharge of mankind) to
watch you,
11. Kiraaman (Honourable) Kaatibeen --writing down (your deeds),
12. They know all that you do"
[al-Infitaar 82:6-12].
And He says:
"And indeed We have created man, and We know what his ownself whispers
to him. And Weare nearer to him than his jugular vein (by Our
Knowledge).
17. (Remember) that the two receivers (recordingangels) receive (each
human being), one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note
his or her actions).
18. Not a word does he (or she) utter but there is a watcher by him
ready (to record it)"
[Qaaf 50:16-18].
So knowledge of the jinn remains with the Creator alone, in addition
to the fact that there is little benefit in pursuing knowledge of such
matters that have nothing to do with belief and on which no actions
are based.
And Allah knows best.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
