The Message to Nations Before Us
[ Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allaah is the Messiah {'Eesaa, Jesus}, son of Maryam." But the Messiah {'Eesaa, Jesus} said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allaah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allaah, then Allaah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Dhalimeen {polytheists, oppressors, unjust, and wrong-doers, etc.} there are no helpers.] Soorat Al Maa-idah {5:72}
[ And {remember} when Allaah will say {on the Day of Resurrection}: "O 'Eesaa {Jesus}, son of Maryam! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allaah?' "He will say: "Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right {to say}. Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it.

Indeed here has come to you a clear sign {the miracle of the coming out of a huge she-camel from the midst of a rock} from your Lord. This she-camel of Allaah is a sign unto you; so you leave her to graze in Allaah's earth, and touch her not with harm, lest a painful torment should seize you.] Soorat Al A'raaf {7:73}

Certainly, my Lord is Near {to all by His Knowledge}, Responsive."] Soorat Huud {11:61}

(1)Jinns are beings living on earth in a world parallel to that of man, and are invisible to human eyes in their normal state. The Arabic word Jinn comes from the verb "Janna" which means to hide. The term "Jinnee" (English: Genie) is equivalent to Jinn. In Islamic literature, Shaytaan (English: Satan, devil) is a name given to disbelieving Jinns. Amongst them are the believers and non-believers.
