They will say, "Exalted are You! You are our Protector, not them. Rather, they used to worship the jinn; most of them were Believers in them."

Explanatory Note

In fact, when they worshipped angels, they were actually worshipping Satan. Indeed worship of the jinn was practised by some Arabs. Some of them actually addressed their worship to the jinn, while others sought their help. Hence, the sūrah says: “They worshipped the jinn and most of them believed in them.” This explains the relevance of Solomon’s story with the jinn to the major issues discussed in this sūrah.
