By the [winds] sent forth one after another [to man’s profit], ∗ Which then blow violently in tempestuous gusts ∗ And scatter [things] far and wide; ∗ Then separate, one from another ∗ Then spread abroad a message.(77:1-5)

By the [angels] who tear out [the souls of the wicked] with violence, ∗ By those who gently draw out [the souls of the blessed] ,∗ And by those who gently glide along [on errands of mercy],∗ Then press forward as if in a race, ∗ Then arrange to do [the commands of their Lord].(79:1-5)

Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by God’s permission in every errand.(97:4)

... over which are [appointed] angels stern [and] severe, who flinch not [from executing] the commands they receive from God, but do [precisely] what they are commanded.(66:6)

Also listen to:

Glory be to Him! They are but servants raised to honour. They speak not before He speaks and they act [in all things] by His command,(21:26-27)

listen to its praises. And if you wish to meet with the jinn, enter this resounding sura:

Say, it has been revealed to me that a company of jinn listened [to the Qur’an].(72:1)

See them and listen to what they say. Take a lesson from them. Look, they are saying:

“We have really heard a wonderful recital ∗ It gives guidance to the right, and we have believed therein: We shall not join [in worship] any [gods] with our Lord.”(72:1-2)
