Surah jinn is the 72nd chapter of the Quran. As depicted by the name, Jinn represents the creature, created by Allah. In fact, this represents the historical incident of Jinn when they could not become successful in bringing news related to Allah from the sky. They were told that a significant event happened in the world.
Proof of the creature of Jinn by the verses of the Quran
It is clear that we cannot see and hear Jinn. That is why most of us have mental confusion that either Jinn is present in the world or not. Some people understand that this is a result of myth and superstitions. Even some modern Muslims do so, but they have no explicit knowledge or guidance.
The holy book of the Quran is the book of guidance. It is a fascinating fact of the Quran that it describes every matter and gives instruction about the hidden things, for example, in the present case; there are different verses of the Quran, which clarifies the existence of Jinn about which man has confusion.
Moreover, the Quran encourages us to hold inquiry and research so that true information must be available.
There are different verses of the Quran, which make our confusion clear about the existence of Jinn.
In Surah Al-Hijr 26-27, Al-Araf 12, and Al-Rahman 14-19, it has been clear that man was made of clay and Jinn were created with the fire.
Some people say that Jinn is the other type of human. It is not any other thing than a man. In the above verses, this statement has nullified by Allah. Allah said the material of creation of man was clay, and Jinn were fire. This is the visible evidence given by Allah.
Allah described in Surah Al-Hijr verse no 27 that the creation of Jinn completed before the man. Allah gives additional proof regarding the story of Adam and Iblis. This story narrated in several different places in the Holy Quran. It has confirmed by the Quran that Iblis was there on earth before the man.
In Surah Al-Hijr verse no 16-18, Surah Al-Malik verse no five and Surah Safat verse no 6-10, it has described that Jinn is able to gain access to the sky but not beyond certain limits. If Jinn tries to go beyond these limits, they are prohibited from doing so. The fire and flames are used to keep them away from the heavens.
In Surah Al-Araf verse no 27, Allah has described that Jinn is able to see human beings while human beings cannot see Jinn.
In Surah Al-Kahf verse no 50 and Al-Baqrah verse no 30-34, it has been described that Allah has given a man with the vicegerency of the earth, and men have more than powerful than Jinn, but it is an admitted fact that Jinn possesses certain qualities which shows power and strength.
Similarly, Jinn, animals, and other creature except men have their ability to choose obedience and disobedience and good or bad. The obvious example of this fact is the Surah Namal verse no 39 in which an incident attributed to ants were recorded.
In Surah Al-Araf 27, Al-Nisa 11-17, Al-Ibrahim 22 and Bani-Israel 61-65, it has stated that the creation of Adam had resolved to subvert humankind since then the Jinn have been consistently struggling to misguide man, but, it is pertinent to mention that Jinn has no decisive power. However, they have a firm grip on the suggestion of evil and appealing.
What Subjects have discussed in Surah Jinn?
These have been discussed several things inside this Surah. These are the following.
In VV 1-15, the first things are the description of the impact on the group of Jinn when they heard the recitation of the Quran by Prophet Muhammad SAW.

By making noticeable the effect, Allah makes us learn what the importance of faith is. That is why Allah has described the whole conversation of them.
