The surah that opens with the revelation that a group of The Jinn listened to the Prophet reciting the Quran, believed in it, and so admonished their own race. It is names after the jinn-kind, whose account is given in its first part. The surah begins with the account of what a group of jinn said when they overheard a recitation of the Quran and realized its truth (verse 1 ff.). This is a lesson to the Meccan Arabs, who are also told that the Prophet can help them only by delivering the Message—God is the All Powerful One (verse 16 ff.). The disbelievers are threatened with what they will meet on the Day of Judgement (verse 23 ff).
The surah is also known as: Jinn-kind, Sprites, The Jinn's, The Spirits.
