THE PROPHET 
AND 
THE JINN

 

It is a known fact that the devils cannot repent to God. The first reference in the Bible to jinn can be found in:

 

Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits [jinn], neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God

 

God warned the Jews not to deal with jinn in:

 

Deuteronomy 18:9-12 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits (jinn), or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.”

 

The Lord had removed King Saul from his throne and he was killed by his enemies and perished: 

 

I Chronicles 10:13,14 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit (jinn), to enquire of it; 14 And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.

 

The Messiah told the Jews about the devil in

 

John 8:44 “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” 

 

The Messiah gave power to his disciples over the devil in

 

Luke 9:1Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.” Also in

 

Luke 10:19Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” 

 

The Apostle Paul warned the church in

 

II Corinthians 11:14-15 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

 

And Revelation 12:9 explains, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him”

 

Sura 16:98-100 confirms the above: So when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy]. 99 Indeed, there is for him no authority over those who have believed and rely upon their Lord. 100 His authority is only over those who take him as an ally and those who through him associate others with Allah .

 

Yet, Prophet Mohammed spent one night with a jinn (Alkortoby p:19 Page 3 & 4). From the prophet’s own mouth we have a few Quranic verses:

 

Sura 53:19-20 So have you considered al-Lat and al-'Uzza? 20 And Manat, the third - the other one?

 

And Sura 22:52 And We did not send before you any messenger or prophet except that when he spoke [or recited], Satan threw into it [some misunderstanding]. 

 

 

But Allah abolishes that which Satan throws in; then Allah makes precise His verses. And Allah is Knowing and Wise

 

The Prophet had a devil confronting him but God helped him and the devil was converted to become Muslim and from then ordered the prophet to do good only - Saheh Muslim 1440 (70/2815). 

 

How could these differences be explained? A prophet should get his commandments from God not from Satan
