Jinn - According to Quran and Sunnah

The Different Types
Book - "The World of the Jinn andDevils", p. 7
Ibn Abdul Barr said, "The jinn, according to the scholars of the
language, are of different types:
1. If one is mentioning the jinn purely of themselves, the are called jinni .*
2. If one is mentioning the jinn that live among mankind, they are
called aamar whose plural is amaar .
3. If one is mentioning the ones that antagonize the young, they are
called arwaah .
4. If one is mentioning the evil ones that antagonize humans they are
called shaitan for the singular [and shayateen for plural].
5. If they cause even more harm and become strong, they are called afreet ."**
*Notice the similar sound between jinni and english's"genie". TV and
other media havetwisted the concept of jinn; however, it is
interesting to note its origin is from Islam. "I Dream of Jeannie" is
a TV show based around a Genie (jinni, plural of jinn). In this show,
Jeannie, the genie, frequently was given a request and the requestor
never quite got what was requested as she was always creating
unintentional mischief. However we understand that the shaitan among
the jinn antagonize humans, not that they are kind beings who
accidentally mess up on occasion. Those who seek aid(such as asking
for favors or making request) from the jinni will find deception and a
twisted type of aid that doesn't really meet the requestor's original
request, but that satisfies the shaytaanic jinn's desire for evil.
**An Ifrît (strong) from the jinns said: "I will bring it to you
before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed
strong, and trustworthy for such work." [The Noble Qur'an 27:39]
Narration - Reported by al-Tahhaawi in Mushkil al-Athaar, 4/95, and by
al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer, 22/214
Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani said: "The Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) said:
'The jinn are of three types: a types that has wings, and they fly
through the air; a type that looks like snakes and dogs; and atype
that stops for a rest then resumes its journey." [Shaykh al-Albaani
said in al-Mishkaat (2/1206, no. 4148): al-Tahhaawi and Abu'l-Shaykh
reported it witha saheeh isnaad]
The Origin of the Jinn
The jinn are NOT fallen angels. They were created from a smokeless
flame of fire. The first recorded jinn to be disobedient is Iblis .
Disbelieving, disobedient jinn and humans are known as shayateen
(satans).
The Noble Qur'an - Ar-Rahmaan 55:15, 15
He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the clay of pottery.
And the jinns did He create from a smokeless flame of fire.
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Hijr 15:26-42
26. And indeed, We created man from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud.
27. And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire.
28. And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "I am going to
create a man (Adam) from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud.
29. "So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him
(Adam) the soul which I created for him, then fall (you) down
prostrating yourselves unto him."
30. So, the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together.
31. Except Iblîs (Satan), - he refused to be among the prostrators.
32. (Allâh) said: "O Iblîs (Satan)! What is your reason for not
beingamong the prostrators?"
33. [Iblîs (Satan)] said: "I am not the one to prostrate myself to a
human being, whom You createdfrom sounding clay of altered black
smooth mud."
34. (Allâh) said: "Then, get out from here, for verily, you are Rajîm
(an outcast or a cursed one)." [Tafsîr At-Tabarî]
35. "And verily, the curse shall be upon you till the Day of
Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)."
36. [Iblîs (Satan)] said: "O my Lord! Give me then respite till theDay
they (the dead) will be resurrected."
37. Allâh said: "Then, verily, you are of those reprieved,
38. "Till the Day of the time appointed."
39. [Iblîs (Satan)] said: "O my Lord! Because you misled me, I shall
indeed adorn the path of error for them (mankind) on the earth, and I
shall mislead them all.
40. "Except Your chosen, (guided)slaves among them."
41. (Allâh) said: "This is the Way which will lead straight to Me."
42. "Certainly, you shall have no authority over My slaves, except
those who follow you of the Ghâwîn (Mushrikûn and those who go astray,
criminals, polytheists, and evil-doers, etc.).
Solomon's Experience with the Jinn
Allah made all the jinn subservient to the Prophet Sulaimaan
(Solomon), a gift from Allah, swt, that will never be granted to
another after him.
The Noble Qur'an - Saad 38:35-39
35. He said: "My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such
as shall not belong to any other after me : Verily, You are the
Bestower."
36. So, We subjected to him the wind, it blew gently to his order
whithersoever he willed,
37. And also the Shayâtin (devils) from the jinns (including) every
kind of builder and diver,
38. And also others bound in fetters.
39. [Saying of Allâh to Sulaimân (Solomon)]: "This is Our gift, so
spend you or withhold, no account will be asked."
The Noble Qur'an - Saba' 34:12-14
12. And to Solomon (We subjected) the wind, its morning (stride from
sunrise till midnoon)was a month's (journey), and its afternoon
(stride from the midday decline of the sun to sunset) was a month's
(journey i.e. in one day he could travel twomonths' journey). And We
causeda fount of (molten) brass to flow for him, and there were jinns
that worked in front of him, by the Leave of his Lord, and whosoever
of them turned aside from Our Command, We shall cause him to taste of
the torment of the blazing Fire.
13. They worked for him what he desired, (making) high rooms, images,
basins as large as reservoirs, and (cooking) cauldrons fixed (in their
places)."Work you, O family of Dâwud (David), with thanks!" But few of
My slaves are grateful.
14. Then when We decreed deathfor him [Sulaimân (Solomon)], nothing
informed them (jinns) of his death except a little worm of the earth,
which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his stick, so when he fell down,
the jinns saw clearly that if they had known theunseen, they would not
have stayed in the humiliating torment.
The Noble Qur'an - An-Naml 27:17-19
17. And there were gathered before Sulaimân (Solomon) his hosts of
jinns and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle order
(marching forwards).
18. Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the
antssaid: "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaimân (Solomon) and
his hosts crush you, while they perceive not."
19. So he [Sulaimân (Solomon)] smiled, amused at her speech[] and
said: "My Lord! Inspire and bestow upon me the power and ability that
I may be grateful for Your Favours which You have bestowed on me and
on my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds that will please
You, and admit me by Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves."
Every human has a partner Jinn
Hadith - Sahih Muslim 6757, Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, similar
narration 6759 by 'Aisha, r.a.
Allah's Apostle (pbuh) said: Thereis none amongst you with whomis not
an attache from amongst the jinn (devil). They (the Companions) said:
Allah's Apostle(pbuh) with you too? Thereupon he said: Yes, but Allah
helps me against him and so I am safe from his hand and he does not
command me but for good.
Distancing Oneself
Fiqh 4.124
Anas reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said, "The barrier between the
eyes of the Jinn and the nakedness of the Children of Adam is
[created] when a Muslim discards a garment and says, 'In the name of
Allah besides Whom there is no other god'." (Ibn As-Sinni)
Hadith - Ahmad, an-Nasa'i, Dawud, al-Hakim and al-Baihaqi
Qatadah related from 'Abdullah ibn Sarjas who said, "The Messenger of
Allah forbade urination into a hole." Said Qatadah, "What is disliked
about urinating into a hole?" Said he,"It is the residence of the
jinn." [Ibn Khuzaimah and Ibn as-Sakin classified it as sahih]
More About the Jinn
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari 4:533, Narrated Jabi bin 'Abdullah (ra)
The Prophet (pbuh) said, " Cover your utensils and tie your water
skins, and close your doors and keep your children close to you
atnight, as the Jinns spread out at such time and snatch things away.
When you go to bed, put out your lights, for the mischief-doer (i.e.
the rat) may drag away the wick of the candle and burn the dwellers of
the house." Ata said, "The devils." (instead of the Jinns).
Hadith - Sunan of Abu Dawood, Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri
Muhammad ibn AbuYahya said that his father told that he and his
companion went to AbuSa'id al-Khudri to pay a sick visit to him. He
said: Then we came out from him and met a companion of ours who wanted
to go to him. We went ahead and sat in the mosque. He then came back
and told us that he heard AbuSa'id al-Khudri say: The Apostle of Allah
(pbuh) said: Some snakes are jinn; so when anyone sees one of them in
his house, he should give it a warning three times. If it return
(after that), he should kill it, for itis a devil.
Hadith - Al-Muwatta 54.33
...The snake stirred on the end of the spear and the youth fell
dead.No one knew which of them diedfirst, the snake or the youth.
Thatwas mentioned to the Messengerof Allah (pbuh) said, "There are
jinn in Madina who have become muslim. When you see one of them, call
out to it for three days.If it appears after that, then kill it, for
it is a shaytan." "'
Hadith - Muwatta, 49.21
...Shaytan does not open a lockeddoor or untie a tied knot, or uncover a vessel.
Hadith - Tirmidhi #350
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: Don't cleanse yourself with dung or
with bones for that is the foodof your brothers from amongst the Jinn.
[Transmitted by Tirmidhi, Nasa'i with this exception that he did not
make mention of: The Food of your brothers from amongst the jinn.]
The Noble Qur'an - Ar-Rahmaan 55:56
Wherein both will be those (maidens) restraining their glances upon
their husbands, whom no man or jinn yatmithhunna (has opened their
hymens with sexual intercourse) before them.
Hadith - Abu Dawood 1046, Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib
Ali said on the pulpit in the mosque of Kufah: When Friday comes, the
devils go to the markets with their flags, and involve people in their
needs and prevent them from the Friday prayer. ...
Allah will fill Hell with jinns and men all together
The Noble Qur'an - As-Saaffaat 37:158
And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinns, but the
jinns know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e.
they will be brought foraccounts).
The Noble Qur'an - Huud 11:119
Except him on whom your Lord has bestowed His Mercy (the follower of
truth - Islâmic Monotheism) and for that did He create them. And the
Word of your Lord has been fulfilled (i.e. His Saying): "Surely, I
shall fill Hell with jinns and men all together."
The Noble Qur'an - Al-An'aam 6:130, 131
O you assembly of jinns and mankind! "Did not there come to you
Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses and warning
you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say: "We bear
witness against ourselves." It was the life of this world that
deceived them. And they will bear witness against themselves that they
were disbelievers.
This is because your Lord would not destroy the (populations of) towns
for their wrong­doing (i.e. associating others in worship along with
Allâh) while their people were unaware (so the Messengers were sent).
The Noble Qur'an - Al-A'raaf 7:179
And surely, We have created many of the jinns and mankind for Hell.
They have hearts wherewith they understand not, they have eyes
wherewith they see not, and they have ears wherewith they hear not
(the truth). They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They
arethe heedless ones.
Fortune-tellers/Soothsayers
Hadith - Al-Bukhari 7.657, Narrated 'Aisha, r.a.
Some people asked Allah's Apostle (saaws) about the foretellers. He
said. -They are nothing." They said, -O Allah's Apostle! Sometimes
they tell us of a thing which turns out to be true." Allah's Apostle
said, "A Jinnsnatches that true word and pours it into the ear of his
friend (the foreteller) (as one puts something into a bottle). The
foreteller then mixes with that word one hundred lies."
Muslim Jinn
The Noble Qur'an - Az-Zaariyaat 51:56
And I (Allâh) created not the jinnsand humans except they should
worship Me (Alone).
Hadith - Tirmidhi #861, Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah , Tirmidhi
reported and said: This is a gharib hadith.
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) came out to his companions and recited Surah
ar-Rahman (55) from the beginning to the end, but they remained
silent. Thereupon he said: I recited this before the Jinn on the night
of Jinn, and their response was better than that of yours. When I came
to these words: `Then which of the favours of your Lorddo you deny?'
They said: Our Lord, there is nothing that we deny of Thy favour; to
Thee is praise due.
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Jinn 72:1-14
1. Say (O Muhammad (pbuh) ): "It has been revealed to me that a group
(from three to ten in number) of jinns listened (to this Qur'ân). They
said: 'Verily! We have heard a wonderful Recital (this Qur'ân)!
2. 'It guides to the Right Path, andwe have believed therein, and we
shall never join (in worship) anything with our Lord (Allâh).
3. 'And exalted be the Majesty of our Lord, He has taken neither
awife, nor a son (or offspring or children).
4. 'And that the foolish among us [i.e. Iblîs (Satan) or the
polytheists amongst the jinns] used to utter against Allâh that which
was wrong and not right.
5. 'And verily, we thought that men and jinns would not utter a lie
against Allâh.
6. 'And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the
masculine among the jinns, but they (jinns) increased them (mankind)
in sin and disbelief.
7. 'And they thought as you thought, that Allâh will not send any
Messenger (to mankind or jinns).
8. 'And we have sought to reach the heaven; but found it filled with
stern guards and flaming fires.
9. 'And verily, we used to sit therein stations, to (steal) a hearing,
but any who listens now will find a flaming fire watching him in
ambush.
10. 'And we know not whether evil is intended for those on earth, or
whether their Lord intends for them a Right Path.
11. 'There are among us some that are righteous, and some the
contrary; we are groups each having a different way (religious sect,
etc.).
12. 'And we think that we cannot escape (from the punishment of) Allâh
in the earth, nor can we escape (from the punishment) by flight.
13. 'And indeed when we heard the Guidance (this Qur'ân), we believed
therein (Islâmic Monotheism), and whosoever believes in his Lord shall
have no fear, either of a decrease inthe reward of his good deeds or
an increase in punishment for his sins.
14. 'And of us some are Muslims (who have submitted to Allâh, after
listening to this Qur'ân), and of us some are Al-Qâsitûn (disbelievers
those who have deviated from the Right Path)'.And whosoever has
embraced Islâm (i.e. has become a Muslim by submitting to Allâh), then
such have sought the Right Path."
Shaytaan
The shaytaan (satan) can be human or jinn...
The Noble Qur'an - Al-An'aam 6:112
And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies - Shayâtin (devils)
among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with adorned speech as
a delusion (or by way of deception). If your Lordhad so willed, they
would not have done it, so leave them alonewith their fabrications.
Know your enemy...
The Noble Qur'an - Faatir 35:6
Surely, Shaitân (Satan) is an enemy to you, so take (treat) himas an
enemy. He only invites his Hizb (followers) that they may become the
dwellers of the blazing Fire.
The Noble Qur'an - Az-Zukhruf 43:62
And let not Shaitân (Satan) hinderyou (from the right religion, i.e.
Islâmic Monotheism), Verily, he (Satan) to you is a plain enemy.
Shaitaan tells you to fear people instead of Allah, swt...
The Noble Qur'an - Az-Zukhruf 43:62
It is only Shaitân (Satan) that suggests to you the fear of his
Auliyâ' [supporters and friends (polytheists, disbelievers in the
Oneness of Allâh and in His Messenger, Muhammad (pbuh) )],so fear them
not, but fear Me, if you are (true) believers.
The jinn's power is to Whisper/Deceive
The Noble Qur'an - An-Naas 114
1. Say: "I seek refuge with (Allâh) the Lord of mankind,
2. "The King of mankind,
3. "The Ilâh (God) of mankind,
4. "From the evil of the whisperer(devil who whispers evil in the
hearts of men) who withdraws (from his whispering in one's heart after
one remembers Allâh),
5. "Who whispers in the breasts of mankind,
6. "Of jinns and men."
The Noble Qur'an - Al-An'aam 6:128
And on the Day when He will gather them (all) together (and say): "O
you assembly of jinns! Many did you mislead of men," ...
The Noble Qur'an - Al-'Anaam 6:112
And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies - Shayâtin (devils)
among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with adorned speech as
a delusion (or by way of deception)....
The Noble Qur'an - An-Nahl 16:99-100
Verily! He has no power over those who believe and put their trust
only in their Lord (Allâh).
His power is only over those who obey and follow him (Satan), and
those who join partners with Him (Allâh) [i.e. those who are Mushrikûn
- polytheists - see Verse 6:121].
The Noble Qur'an - Ibrahiim 14:22
And Shaitân (Satan) will say whenthe matter has been decided:"Verily,
Allâh promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I
betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, so
you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot
help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating
me (Satan) as a partner with Allâh (by obeying me in the life of the
world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zâlimûn
(polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)."
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Israa' 17:61-65
And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate unto Adam." They
prostrated except Iblîs (Satan). He said: "Shall I prostrate to one
whom You created from clay?"
[ Iblîs (Satan)] said: "See? This onewhom You have honoured above me,
if You give me respite (keep me alive) to the Day of Resurrection, I
will surely seize and mislead his offspring (by sending them astray)
all but a few!"
(Allâh) said: "Go, and whosoever of them follows you, surely! Hell
will be the recompense of you (all) an ample recompense.
"And Istafziz [literally means: befool them gradually] those whom you
can among them withyour voice (i.e. songs, music, and any other call
for Allâh's disobedience), make assaults on them with your cavalry and
your infantry, mutually share with them wealth and children (by
tempting them to earn money byillegal ways usury, etc., or by
committing illegal sexual intercourse, etc.), and make promises to
them." But Satan promises them nothing but deceit.
"Verily! My slaves (i.e the true believers of Islâmic Monotheism),you
have no authority over them.And All-Sufficient is your Lord as
aGuardian."
Supplication for one afflicted by whisperings in prayer or recitation...
Hadith - Sahih Muslim 5463, Narrated Uthman ibn Abul'As, r.a.
Uthman came to Allah's Messenger (pbuh) and said: Allah's Messenger,
the Satan intervenes between me and my prayer and my reciting of the
Qur'an and he confounds me. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said:
That is (the doing of the Satan) who is known as Khinzab, and when you
perceive its effect, seek refuge with Allah from it and spit* three
times to your left. I did that and Allah dispelled that from me.
* this is a dry spit in the air
Seeking refuge IN the Jinn
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Jinn 72: 6-7
6. 'And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the
masculine among the jinns, but they (jinns) increased them (mankind)
in sin and disbelief.
7. 'And they thought as you thought, that Allâh will not send any
Messenger (to mankind or jinns).
The Noble Qur'an - Ibrahiim 14:22
And Shaitân (Satan) will say whenthe matter has been decided:"Verily,
Allâh promised you a promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I
betrayed you. I had no authority over you except that I called you, so
you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot
help you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating
me (Satan) as a partner with Allâh (by obeying me in the life of the
world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zâlimûn
(polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)."
The Noble Qur'an - Al-An'aam 6:100-102
100. Yet, they join the jinns as partners in worship with Allâh,
though He has created them (the jinns), and they attribute falsely
without knowledge sons and daughters to Him. Be He Glorified and
Exalted above (all) that they attribute to Him.
101. He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He
have children when He has no wife? He created all things and Heis the
All-Knower of everything.
102. Such is Allâh, your Lord! Lâ ilâha illa Huwa (none has the right
to be worshipped but He), the Creator of all things. So worship Him
(Alone), and He is the Wakîl (Trustee, Disposer of affairs, Guardian,
etc.) over all things.
The Noble Qur'an - Al-An'aam 6:128
And on the Day when He will gather them (all) together (and say): "O
you assembly of jinns! Many did you mislead of men," and their Auliyâ'
(friends and helpers, etc.) amongst men will say: "Our Lord! We
benefited one from the other, but now we havereached our appointed
term which You did appoint for us." Hewill say: "The Fire be your
dwelling­place, you will dwell therein forever, except as Allâh may
will. Certainly your Lord is All­Wise, All­Knowing."
Seeking refuge FROM the Evil Jinn
Say " 'audhu billah" (I seek refugein Allah) and other dhikr
(remembrance of Allah, swt) when the evil whisper of Shaitaan comes
upon you, such as
*. when becoming angry,
*. having confusing or disobedient thoughts,
*. when approached by arrogants who dispute the Truth of the ayats of
Allah, swt,
*. when about to recite Qur'an,
*. or when in any situation that Quran and Sunnah teaches you is a
result of the shaitaan.
The Noble Qur'an - Fussilat 41:36
And if an evil whisper from Shaitân (Satan) tries to turn you away (O
Muhammad SAW) (from doing good, etc.), then seek refuge in Allâh.
Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
The Noble Qur'an - Al-A'raaf 7:200,201
And if an evil whisper comes to you from Shaitân (Satan) then seek
refuge with Allâh. Verily, He is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
Verily, those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2), when an
evil thought comes to them from Shaitân (Satan), they remember
(Allâh), and (indeed) they then see (aright).
The Noble Qur'an - Ghaafir 40:56
Verily, those who dispute about the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh, without any authority
having come to them, there is nothing else in their breasts except
pride [to accept you (Muhammad SAW) as a Messenger of Allâh and to
obey you]. They will never have it (i.e. Prophethood which Allâh
hasbestowed upon you). So seek refuge in Allâh (O Muhammad SAW from
the arrogants). Verily, it is He Who is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.
The Noble Qur'an - An-Nahl 16:98
So when you want to recite the Qur'ân, seek refuge with Allâh from
Shaitân (Satan), the outcast (the cursed one).
Hadith - Al-Muwatta 51.10
Yahya related to me from Malik that Yahya ibn Said said, "When the
Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was taken on the Night Journey, he saw an
evil jinn seeking him with a torch of fire. Whenever the Messenger of
Allah (pbuh) turned, he saw him. Jibril said to him, 'Shall I teach
you some words to say? When you say them, his torch will be put out
and will fall from him.' The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, 'Yes,
indeed.' Jibril said, 'Say, 'I seek refuge with the Noble Face of
Allah and with the complete words of Allah which neither the good
person nor the corrupt can exceed, from the evil of what descends from
the sky and the evil of what ascends in it, and from the evil of what
is created in the earth and the evil of what comes out of it, and from
the trials of the night and day, and from the visitations of the night
and day, except for one that knocks with good, O Merciful!" "'
Audhu bi wajhi'llahi' l-karim wa bi kalimati'llahi't-tammati. Allati
la yujawazu hunna barra wa la fajir, min sharri ma yanzil min as-sama,
wa sharri ma yaruju fiha, wa sham ma dhara' fi'l-ard, wa sharri ma
yakhruju minha, wamin fitani'l-layli wa'n-nahar, wa min
tawariqi'l-layli wa'n-nahar illa tariqan yatruq bikhayr ya Rahman!
Say Bismillah and then the du'a below before entering the toilet area...
Hadith - Al-Tirmidhi 358, NarratedAli ibn Abu Talib
Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: The screen between the eyes of Jinn and
the private parts of the sons of Adam as one of them enters the privy
is that he should say: In the name of Allah. [This hadith has been
transmitted by Tirmidhi and he said: It is a gharib hadith and its
isnad is not sound.]
[Bismillahi] Allahumma inna 'audhu bika minal khubthi wal khabaa'ith.
[By the Name of Allah]. Oh Allah, Iseek protection in You from unclean
spirits, male and female. [Abu Dawud 4/264, Ahmad 2/389]
The ayat "Al-Kursi" (2:255) is well-known as a means for repelling
mischievious jinn...
The Noble Qur'an - Al-Baqara 2:255
Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none hasthe right to be worshipped but He),
the Ever, Living, the One Whosustains and protects all that exists.
neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is
in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede
with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them
(His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the
Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge
except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and
the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them.
And He is the Most High, the Most Great (Ayat-ul-Kursi).
