Surah Al Jinn Tafseer

وَأَنَّهُ تَعَالَى جَدُّ رَبِّنَا

And He, exalted be the Jadd of our Lord,

`Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said concerning Allah's statement,

جَدُّ رَبِّنَا

the Jadd of our Lord,

"This means, His actions, His commands and His power."

Ad-Dahhak reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said,

"Allah's Jadd is His blessings, His power and His favor upon His creation."

It has been reported from Mujahid and `Ikrimah that they said,

"It (Jadd) is the magnificence of our Lord."

Qatadah said,

"Exalted is His magnificence, His greatness and His command."

As-Suddi said,

"Exalted is the command of our Lord."

It has been reported from Abu Ad-Darda', Mujahid and Ibn Jurayj that they said,

"Exalted is His remembrance (Dhikr)."

The Jinns Affirmation that Allah does not have a Wife and Children

Allah says,

مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَاا وَلَدًا

He has taken neither a wife nor a son.

meaning, far exalted is He above taking a mate and having children.

This means that when the Jinns accepted Islam and believed in the Qur'an they professed Allah's magnificence above having taken a spouse and a child (or a son).

Then they said,

وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا
