It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said:
« إن لله مائة رحمة فأنزل رحمة واحدة بين الإنس والجن، والهوام، والبهائم، فبها يتعاطفون، وبها يتراحمون، وبها تعطف الوحش على أولادها، وأخر عنده تسعا وتسعين رحمة، يرحم بها عباده يوم القيامة »
"Indeed, Allah has one hundred portions of mercy. He has sent down one portion among humans, jinn, insects, and animals, through which they show compassion to one another, extend mercy to each other, and even wild beasts show kindness to their offspring. And He has kept ninety-nine portions of mercy with Himself, with which He will show mercy to His servants on the Day of Judgment."
[Sahih Muslim, Hadith No. 2752]
From this narration, it is evident that the Jinn are also included in the portion of mercy that Allah has sent down upon creation. This indicates that they are also recipients of Allah’s mercy.
Will Jinn Enter into Allah’s Mercy or Not?
