Jinn, according to Islamic beliefs, are no longer able to access heaven.
Prior to the advent of Islam, it is believed that jinn had the ability to ascend to the heavens and eavesdrop on conversations. However, this is no longer the case. The Quran describes how the heavens are now heavily guarded, and any attempt by the jinn to listen results in them being targeted with shooting stars (meteors). This prevents them from acquiring knowledge of the future or secrets from the heavens.
Here's a breakdown of the situation:
- Past Ability: Jinn were once able to ascend to the heavens.
- Present Restriction: They are now barred from entering heaven or listening to heavenly discussions.
- Reason for Restriction: Heavens are guarded against their eavesdropping, preventing them from gaining knowledge about destiny.
Therefore, while the potential for good jinn to be rewarded in the afterlife exists, they cannot currently "go to Jannah" in the sense of physically entering the heavens as they once could. The question of whether righteous jinn will ultimately be granted Paradise is a matter of theological interpretation.
