The answer

Allah created jinn and humans for His worship. Jinn, like humans, are accountable. So, whoever among them embraces Islam, prayer and recitation of the Quran become obligatory upon them. Indeed, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recited the Quran to a group of them. As for the angels, they are not accountable like humans and jinn, but they obey Allah and carry out His commands. The Quran is among the things through which they draw closer to their Lord, and Gabriel, peace be upon him, descended with the Quran to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and recited it to him.
