What is the Language of the Jinn?
Question:

What is the Language of the Jinn?

يسأل عن لغات الجن -سماحة الشيخ-؟

Answer:

That which is apparent is that they are like humans, in that they have various languages. Amongst them there is the English (jinn), amongst them there is the French, amongst them there is the American and amongst them there is the non-Arab and the Arab; (there are various) races amongst them. Because Allaah has said concerning them: There are among us some that are righteous and some that are contrary; we are groups having different ways. [Soortatul-Jinn, 72: 11]. And they are upon different sects. He, Glorified be He, has said: And some of us are Muslims and some of us are Qaasitoon (disbelievers). [Sooratul-Jinn, 72:14]. So they are of different groups and sects. Amongst them there is the pure and amongst them there is the impure. Amongst them there is the Jahmee (follower of the teachings of the Jahmiyyah), amongst them there is the Sunnee (follower of the Sunnah), amongst them there is the Raafidhee (from the extreme Sheeah), amongst them there is the Christian, amongst them there is the Jew and amongst them there is other than that. (They are of) various groups and sects: ýThere are among us some that are righteous and some that are contrary; we are groups having different ways.ý [Soorautul-Jinn, 72: 11] His statement: some that are contrary is general including (all) other groups.

الذي يظهر أنهم مثل الإنس لهم لغات متعددة، فيهم الإنجليزي، وفيهم الفرنسي، وفيهم الإمريكي، وفيهم العجمي والعربي، أجناس فيهم، لأن الله قال عنهم: وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَلِكَ كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا[الجن: 11] وهم على طوائف قال -سبحانه- عنهم: وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَمِنَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ[الجن: 14] فهم أقساط وفرق، فيهم الطيب وفيهم الخبيث وفيهم الجهمي وفيهم السني وفيهم الرافضي وفيهم النصراني وفيهم اليهودي وفيهم غير ذلك، أقسام وفرق شتى: وَأَنَّا مِنَّا الصَّالِحُونَ وَمِنَّا دُونَ ذَلِكَ كُنَّا طَرَائِقَ قِدَدًا[الجن: 11] قوله: دُونَ ذَلِكَ يعم فرق أخرى.
