SURAH Al-Jinn 72: (The Jinns)
This Surah is Makki, and it has 28 verses and 2 Sections.
With the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Very-Merciful

Say, "It has been revealed to me that a group from the Jinn has listened (to the Qur'an), and said (to their people), 'Indeed we have heard an amazing Recital (Qur'an)." [1]

COMMENTARY: Preliminary Remarks - It seems necessary to know a few facts before the start of the study of this Surah, which are as follows:

Fact 1 - Before the advent of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) the devils used to go up to the heavens and eavesdrop on the conversations of the angels. After his advent, they were pelted with a piercing flame if they attempted to go up and eavesdrop. It is mentioned in Surah Al-Ahqaf that a group of Jinn went up to the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) to investigate the reason for this new phenomenon.

Fact 2 - It was customary in the Days of Ignorance that when people halted in a jungle or valley in the course of a journey, they uttered the following words:

"I seek refuge in the leader of this valley from the foolish mischief-makers of his nation" --

believing that the leader of the valley (a Jinn) would protect them.

Fact 3 - A terrible famine held Makkah in its grip for several years as a result of the Holy Prophet's (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) prayer.

Fact 4 - When the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) called the pagans towards Islam, they opposed him tooth and nail. The first two incidents are taken from Tafsir Durr Manthur and the last two incidents are taken from Tafsir Ibn Kathir.

(...a group from Jinn.. ..72:1): The word Nafar is used for a group consisting of three to ten people. The Jinn referred to here are said to be a group of nine Jinns from a place called Nasibin.

The poet passes on to the subject of the need for constant watchfulness, in order to avoid the snares of the world, and not to miss the divine blessing whenever it may appear.

There is a tradition, "When half the night has passed, Allah will descend to earth and cry, 'Ho, ye that ask, it shall be answered to you. And ye that crave pardon, it shall be pardoned to you. And ye that petition, your petitions shall be granted." But all who sleep the sleep of negligence will miss the promised blessing.

This is illustrated by the story of a lover who obtained an assignation with his mistress, but when she came, he was found asleep, and was accordingly rejected.

'What is the meaning of Fate, Mullah?'

'Assumptions,'

'In what way?'

'You assume things will go well, and they don't - that you call bad luck. You assume things are going to be bad and they don't - that you call good luck. You assume that certain things are going to happen or not happen - and you so lack intuition that you don't know what is going to happen. You assume that the future is unknown.'

'When you are caught out - YOU call that Fate.'
