الآية رقم (100) - وَجَعَلُواْ لِلّهِ شُرَكَاء الْجِنَّ وَخَلَقَهُمْ وَخَرَقُواْ لَهُ بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ

(100) - (But they have attributed to Allah partners - the jinn, while He has created them - and have fabricated for Him sons and daughters. Exalted is He and high above what they describe.)

(… وَجَعَلُوا لِلَّهِ شُرَكَاءَ الْجِنَّ) (But they have attributed to Allah partners – the jinn, ): The word Jinn comes from the Arabic root-word Janna, which means ‘to conceal’. They are called this because they are concealed from the human eye. Not everything that we cannot perceive is non-existent. The Jinn are among the creation of Allah (swt), and they are also tasked with worship, like us human beings. Allah (swt) says:

 وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُون

(I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me) (Adh-Dhariyat: 56)

In this verse, Allah (swt) wills to explain to people that the main issue here is not the thing which is worshipped, be it the jinn, angels, idols, sun or moon, but associating others with Allah in worship. As such, He says here: But they have attributed to Allah partners – the jinn, instead of saying: And they have made the jinn partners in worship with Allah.

(… وَخَرَقُوا لَهُ… ) (…and have fabricated for Him ): The Arabic word of (fabricated) means ‘making a gap in something’. That is they fabricated lies on purpose.

(  بَنِينَ وَبَنَاتٍ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۚ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ … ) (…sons and daughters. Exalted is He and high above what they describe): They have no knowledge whatsoever about the Attributes of Allah (swt), nor do they know about His Actions or His Essence, Glory be to Him. Thus, they invented sons and daughters for Him, Glorified and Exalted is He above what they claim.
