88. That is, regarding the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم who was inviting the entire world towards the personality of Allah lmighty, while the previous Prophets had been inviting towards His Attributes.
89. All the sins prior to the acceptance of lam, besides those linked with the rights of man. For this reason mention is made of "some sins."
90. From this we learn there is no Paradise for e Jinns. The reward for their good deeds is their salvation from punishment. This is the opinion of Imam Abu Hanifa (May Allah be leased with him) because the reward of the pious as expressed by these jinns is salvation rom punishment only which was not refuted by Allah Almighty.
There is no verse in the Holy OUR AAN wherein it is categorically mentioned that the reward of piety for the jinns Paradise. However, the wretched, irreligious and infidel jinns will most certainly be sent into Hell.
Says Allah Almighty: "Undoubtedly, We have created for Hell many jinns and human beings" (S7:V179). Why should this not be so? Paradise is the inheritance of Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace), which should be given to his children only. The Vision of Allah Almighty is only for the believing human beings, neither for the jinns nor for the angels.
It should be remembered that there are some sayings regarding the believing, pious jinns. One is that like the believing humans they, too, would be inmates of Paradise. The second statement is that although they will not be sent into Paradise; they will receive its cool breeze. by being residents of A'raaf (the Heights). Thirdly, they will be made to perish like the animals. The third statement lends greater strength to the verces.

35. Authentic traditions show that after this several deputations of the jinns visited the Prophet (peace be upon him), one after the other, and met him face to face. When all the traditions related in the collections of Hadith on this subject are read together, it appears that at least six deputations had visited him in Makkah before the Hijrah.
About one of these deputations, Abdullah bin Masud relates: One day the Prophet (peace be upon him) remained missing from Makkah for the whole night. We could not know his whereabouts and feared he might have been attacked by somebody. Early in the morning we saw him coming from the direction of Hira. On inquiring he said that a jinn had come to invite him and he had accompanied him and recited the Quran to a gathering of them there. (Muslim, Musnad Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Abu Daud).
Abdullah bin Masud has related another tradition, saying: Once the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked his companions in Makkah as to which of them would accompany him that night to meet the jinns. I became ready to go with him. At a place in the upper quarters of Makkah the Prophet (peace be upon him) drew a line and told me not to cross it. Then he went forward and stood and began to recite the Quran. I saw that a number of the people had gathered around him and they stood between me and him. (Ibn Jarir, Baihaqi: Dalail an-Nubuwwat, Abu Nuaim Isfahani: Dalail an-Nubuwuat).
On another occasion also during the night Abdullah bin Masud was with the Prophet (peace be upon him) when he decided a case of the jinns at Hajun in Makkah. Many years later Ibn Masud saw a group of the villagers at Kufa and said that the group of the jinns he had seen at Hajun closely resembled those people. (Ibn Jarir).
