Section 16

130. " ' O' assembly of the jinn and mankind ! Did there not come to you messengers from yourselves, recounting to you My Signs and warning you of the meeting of this Day ? ' They will say : 'We bear witness against ourselves.' And the life of this world deceived them, and they will bear witness against their own selves that they were (constantly) disbelievers.

Commentary :

On the Day of Judgement, Allah (s.w.t.) will tell the cruel Satanic persons:

Of course, all Divine prophets were appointed from humankind, but since the totality of jinn and men have been addressed at first, due to this

respect, the prophets have been attributed to all, too, although they have been from the same kind.

These prophets recited the proofs and verses of Allah to you, and they warned you of meeting such a Day, too.

This confession of the sinners, which occurs before Allah on the Day of Judgement, denotes the fact that they have accepted that Allah's argument has been completed to them, and He has sent prophets and guides toward them.

However, it is also narrated by Ibn-'Abbas that every prophet was chosen from among human beings, and then, that human-prophet would choose a messenger for jinns from among themselves.
