Who is the narrator speaking in Surat Al-Jinn regarding the verses: {And as for the deviators, they will be fuel for Hell} and {And that the mosques are for Allah, so do not invoke anyone with Allah} and {And that when the servant of Allah stood up to invoke Him, they almost crowded upon him in masses}, and does the narrator change in the verses of the Surah?
Allah revealed to His Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that the jinn listened to his recitation, and He informed him of their saying: "Indeed, we have heard a wondrous Qur'an." The pronouns in the verses indicate that this is from the speech of the jinn. As for His, the Exalted, saying: "And that the mosques" and "And if they had remained on the right path," these are not from the speech of the jinn, but rather from what was revealed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as indicated by the pronoun returning to Allah, the Almighty, in "We would have given them abundant water." There is a difference of opinion regarding His saying: "And that when the servant of Allah stood," whether it is from the speech of the jinn or Allah. It is legislated for Muslim jinn to enter mosques, pray in them, and listen to the Qur'an. The verse: "And that the mosques are for Allah" was revealed based on the jinn's question about how they could attend mosques and pray.
