The Surah recounts a group of Jinn listening to the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) reciting the Quran and instantly recognizing its truth, subsequently embracing Islam and becoming missionaries to their own kind.
While not mandated by a specific Hadith, many scholars recommend reciting this Surah as a shield against unseen harm and to dispel irrational fears of the unknown.
It served as a source of immense comfort for the Prophet (ﷺ) at a time when he was facing rejection from the people of Makkah, showing that his message resonated even in the unseen world.
It is often used to address and refute superstitious practices such as fortune-telling or seeking help from Jinn, refocusing the heart's reliance solely on Allah.
