History and Background of Surah Jinn

Surah Al-Jinn is a Makki Surah revealed in Makkah during the early period of Prophethood. It was revealed when a group of Jinn heard the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ reciting the Quran during prayer. They were deeply moved, believed in the message, and returned to their people as warners. This Surah was revealed to inform the Prophet ﷺ and the believers about this unseen event and to emphasize that the Quran is a guidance for both humans and Jinn.
