to
reach the heaven; but found it filled
with stern guards and flaming fires. * And verily, we used to sit there in
stations, to (steal)
a hearing, but any who listens now will find a flaming fire watching him in
ambush. * And we know not whether evil is intended for those on earth, or
whether their Lord intends for them a Right Path. ]
(Al-Jinn:6-10).
What
is more important is that the Jinn do not know the unseen. If the Jinn knew
the unseen, they would not stay in their humiliating suffering …This is
another story. Allah All-Mighty
recounts it to show the falsity of the Jinn's alleges.. that they
know the Unknown… As aforementioned, the Jinn were subjected to serve
Prophet Solomon. He used to use them in many hard tasks such as cutting the
rocks, building, transferring blocks of rock from mountains to other places,
planting, diving into the seas’s depths and many other tasks... They were
dictated by Allah to serve the Prophet Solomon as long as he lived... When
Prophet Solomon died, he was leaning on his crutch in front of his great
edifice… Solomon remained as such for a whole year. For, the body of
Prophet Solomon, like that of any Prophet, was not to decompose…
During this year, the Jinn never stopped labouring. For whenever they
saw him leaning on his crutch, they thought that he was still alive and that
he was watching them. The Jinn did not know that Prophet Solomon was dead
until the earthworm gnawed his crutch and he fell to the ground. So, if the
Jinn really know the Unknown, they would
have stopped working the moment Prophet
Solomon died. Thus, Allah laughs at their claims that they know the Unseen,
in the Qur'an. Allah All-Mighty says:
