وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا
يَـٰمَعْشَرَ ٱلْجِنِّ قَدِ ٱسْتَكْثَرْتُم
مِّنَ ٱلْإِنسِ ۖ وَقَالَ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُم
مِّنَ ٱلْإِنسِ رَبَّنَا ٱسْتَمْتَعَ
بَعْضُنَا بِبَعْضٍ وَبَلَغْنَآ
أَجَلَنَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَجَّلْتَ لَنَا ۚ قَالَ
ٱلنَّارُ مَثْوَىٰكُمْ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَآ
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ
حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ
And on the Day when
He will gather them
together (and say):
“O you assembly of Jinn!
Many did you mislead
of men,” and their
friends among the people
will say: “Our Lord!
We benefited one from
the other, but now
we have reached our
appointed term which
You did appoint for us. “
He will say: “The Fire
be your dwelling place,
you will dwell therein
forever, except as Allah
may will. Certainly
your Lord is All-Wise,
All-Knowing.”
Allah says, `Mention, O Muhammad, in what you convey and warn,’ that,
وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعاً
on the Day when He will gather them (all) together.
gather the Jinns and their loyal supporters from mankind who used to worship them in this life, seek refuge with them, obey them and inspire each other with adorned, deceitful speech. Allah will proclaim then,
يَـمَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ
اسْتَكْثَرْتُم مِّنَ الإِنْسِ
O you assembly of Jinn! Many did you mislead of men
So the Ayat;
قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُم مِّنَ الإِنْسِ
Many did you mislead of men
refers to their misguiding and leading them astray. Allah also said;
أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يبَنِى
ءَادَمَ أَن لاَّ تَعْبُدُواْ
الشَّيطَـنَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ
عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ – وَأَنِ اعْبُدُونِى
هَـذَا صِرَطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ
وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنْكُمْ جِبِلاًّ
كَثِيراً أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُواْ تَعْقِلُونَ
Did I not command you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaytan. Verily, he is a plain enemy to you. And that you should worship Me. That is the straight path. And indeed he (Shaytan) did lead astray a great multitude of you. Did you not, then, understand (Ya Sin 60-62)
and
وَقَالَ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُم
مِّنَ الإِنْسِ رَبَّنَا
اسْتَمْتَعَ بَعْضُنَا بِبَعْضٍ
and their friends among the people will say: “Our Lord! We benefited one from the other…”
The friends of the Jinns among humanity will give this answer to Allah, after Allah chastises them for being misguided by the Jinns. Al-Hasan commented, “They benefited from each other when the Jinns merely commanded and mankind obeyed.” Ibn Jurayj said, “During the time of Jahiliyyah, a man would reach a land and proclaim, `I seek refuge with the master (Jinn) of this valley,’ and this is how they benefited from each other. They used this as an excuse for them on the Day of Resurrection.” Therefore, the Jinns benefit from humans since humans revere the Jinns by invoking them for help. The Jinns would then proclaim, “We became the masters of both mankind and the Jinns.”
وَبَلَغْنَآ أَجَلَنَا الَّذِى أَجَّلْتَ لَنَا
but now we have reached our appointed term which You did appoint for us
meaning, death, according to As-Suddi.
قَالَ النَّارُ مَثْوَاكُمْ
He (Allah) will say: “The Fire be your dwelling place…”
where you will reside and live, you and your friends,
خَـلِدِينَ فِيهَآ
you will dwell therein forever.
and will never depart except what Allah may will.
