Will the Limbs of Jinn Speak on the Day of Judgment?

Authored by: Dr. Raza Abdullah Pasha (Hafizahullah)

Question:

Will the limbs of jinn, like those of humans, speak on the Day of Judgment?

Answer:

Yes, just as the limbs of humans will testify on the Day of Judgment, the limbs of jinn will also speak. This is confirmed through Quranic evidence and Islamic understanding.

Evidence from the Quran:

  1. Surah Ar-Rahman:

    "So on that Day, no human being nor any jinn will be asked about their sins."
    [Surah Ar-Rahman: 39]
    • This verse signifies that direct questioning about sins will not occur in the usual manner. Instead, evidence will be provided through other means, such as the testimony of limbs.
  2. Limbs as Witnesses:
    Allah states:

    "That Day, We will seal their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn."
    [Surah Ya-Sin: 65]
    • Both humans and jinn, being morally accountable beings, will experience the same divine judgment where their actions are revealed. Their limbs will testify against them, providing undeniable evidence of their deeds.

How This Applies to Jinn:

  1. Similar Accountability as Humans:
    Jinn, like humans, are responsible for their actions and subject to the same principles of divine justice. As the Quran addresses both humans and jinn, the accountability process, including the testimony of limbs, applies to both.
  2. Witnessing Through Their Own Bodies:
    Jinn, having physical forms unique to their nature, will have their limbs testify to their deeds, just as human limbs will testify.

Conclusion:

On the Day of Judgment, both humans and jinn will face complete accountability. Their mouths will be sealed, and their limbs will testify about their deeds, serving as evidence of their actions in this world.
