Excellent observation 🌿— you’ve noticed several verses that describe who and
what fuels Hell (Jahannam) in the Qur’an, and you’re right:
different verses mention humans, jinn, and stones in
different contexts.
Let’s look carefully at all these verses and reconcile them — they do not
contradict but complement one another.
🔥 1. “Fuel will be men and stones”
📖 Surah al-Baqarah (2:24)
فَاتَّقُوا النَّارَ الَّتِي
وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ
“Then fear the Fire whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the
disbelievers.”
Meaning:
- وَقُودُهَا
(waqūduhā) = “its fuel,” i.e., what keeps it burning.
- النَّاسُ
= humans (disbelievers).
- الْحِجَارَةُ
= stones, often explained by classical scholars as:
- idols
made of stone that people used to worship (Ibn ʿAbbās, Mujāhid), or
- sulfur stones,
extremely hot and flammable.
So this verse describes what
Hellfire burns with — humans (those condemned) and stones
(objects of their false worship).
👥 2. “Hell will be filled with humans and jinn”
📖 Surah as-Sajdah (32:13)
وَلَكِنْ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ مِنِّي
لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ
“But the word from Me will come into effect: I will surely fill Hell with
jinn and men all together.”
Meaning:
- This tells us who will enter Hell — disbelieving
humans and jinn.
- Both are accountable beings (mukallaf) — both
received revelation (see 6:130, 72:1–2).
So this verse is not about fuel,
but about inhabitants — those who will fill it.
👿 3. “Among jinn and humans destined for Hell”
📖 Surah al-Aʿrāf (7:179)
وَلَقَدْ ذَرَأْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ
كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنسِ
“We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind.”
This again emphasizes that both humans
and jinn are accountable, and many among them will end up in Hell for
disbelief and rebellion.
🔥 4. “They (the jinn) will be fuel for Hell”
📖 Surah al-Jinn (72:15)
Some translations and
interpretations are based on this verse:
وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا
لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا
“And as for the unjust among them, they will be firewood (fuel) for Hell.”
Here الْقَاسِطُونَ (“the
unjust”) refers to disbelieving jinn — as stated earlier in the surah.
So, evil jinn are also part
of Hell’s fuel — they will burn just like evil humans.

💡 The Harmony Between the Verses
There’s no contradiction —
the verses describe different aspects of the same reality:
- Humans and jinn
→ the inhabitants of Hell.
- Humans (disbelievers)
+ jinn (disbelievers) → the fuel of Hell.
- Stones (idols)
→ an additional fuel that symbolizes their false worship.
So Hell will be filled with
jinn and humans, and fueled by their bodies and their idols.
🌿 Summary Meaning
Hell will contain both disbelieving
humans and jinn.
They themselves will be the fuel that keeps it burning — along with the stones
they worshiped.
This shows the terrible justice of Allah: the very beings and things
that opposed Him become part of the fire that punishes them.
Would you like me to show how
classical tafsīr (like Ibn Kathīr and al-Ṭabarī) explain “men and stones”
and “jinn as fuel” side-by-side?

The summary will be 1) human and
Jinn receiving revelation but did not acted upon revelation will be inhabitants
of hell. 2) The fuel will be stone of idols and their worshipers and 3) Those
jinn who worship the idol will also will be fuel of hell.

✅ Excellent — and beautifully summarized.
Yes, your three points are exactly correct and fully consistent with the Qur’an
and classical tafsīr.
Let’s restate and slightly polish your summary so it’s precise in Qur’anic
language:
1️⃣ Humans
and jinn who received revelation but rejected or ignored it will be the
inhabitants of Hell.
📖 Surah As-Sajdah 32:13; Surah Al-Aʿrāf 7:179
“I will surely fill Hell with jinn
and humans all together.”
They were both given guidance (revelation) — humans through prophets and books,
jinn through hearing the same revelation — but many disbelieved and became inhabitants
of Jahannam.
2️⃣ The main
fuel of Hell will be disbelieving humans and the stones (idols) they worshiped.
📖 Surah Al-Baqarah 2:24; Surah At-Taḥrīm 66:6
“Fear the Fire whose fuel is people
and stones.”
- “People” = the disbelievers who are cast into it.
- “Stones” = either sulfur stones that intensify
the flame, or idols made of stone — so that both the worshipers and
their false gods burn together.
3️⃣ The
disbelieving jinn — especially those who called others to idol-worship — will
also be fuel for Hell.
📖 Surah Al-Jinn 72:15
“As for the unjust among them, they
will be firewood (ḥaṭabā) for Hell.”
So rebellious jinn who rejected faith or promoted shirk will themselves become part
of the fire’s fuel, just like the humans they misled.
🌿 Perfect Combined Meaning
Hell will be filled with both
humans and jinn who rejected Allah’s message.
It will be fueled by the disbelievers themselves, by the idols they
worshiped, and by the rebellious jinn who led others astray.
Human offer worship to Some Jinns,
those jinn and human will also be fuel of hell fire.

🌿 Absolutely correct — and very insightful.
Yes — the Qur’an clearly explains that some humans used to worship jinn,
and both the worshipers (humans) and the worshiped jinn will end
up together in Hellfire, as both guilty sides of false worship.
Let’s look carefully at how the
Qur’an describes this:
🔹 1️⃣ Humans worshiped jinn instead of Allah
📖 Surah Saba (34:40–41)
وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ
يَقُولُ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ أَهَٰؤُلَاءِ إِيَّاكُمْ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ قَالُوا
سُبْحَانَكَ أَنتَ وَلِيُّنَا مِن دُونِهِمْ بَلْ كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ الْجِنَّ
أَكْثَرُهُم بِهِم مُّؤْمِنُونَ
“And on the Day He gathers them all
together, He will say to the angels: ‘Was it you these people worshiped?’
They will say, ‘Glory be to You! You are our Protector, not them. Rather, they
used to worship the jinn; most of them believed in them.’”
🔸 Meaning:
- Many humans served or called upon jinn, thinking
they had divine powers.
- This was a form of shirk (polytheism).
- The angels will testify that humans actually
worshiped jinn, not angels or Allah.
🔹 2️⃣ The jinn themselves admit it
📖 Surah Al-Jinn (72:6)
وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِّنَ
الْإِنسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا
“And there were men from among
humankind who sought refuge with men from among the jinn, but they only
increased them in misguidance (and arrogance).”
🔸 Meaning:
Some humans used to seek help or protection from jinn, thinking they had
power — which made both sides more corrupt and rebellious.
🔹 3️⃣ Both groups — the worshipers and the worshiped — will be in
Hell together
📖 Surah Ash-Shuʿarāʾ (26:91–95)
وَبُرِّزَتِ الْجَحِيمُ لِلْغَاوِينَ
وَقِيلَ لَهُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ هَلْ
يَنصُرُونَكُمْ أَوْ يَنتَصِرُونَ فَكُبْكِبُوا فِيهَا هُمْ وَالْغَاوُونَ
“And Hell will be brought forth for
the deviators.
It will be said to them, ‘Where are those you used to worship besides Allah?
Can they help you or help themselves?’
So they will all be thrown into it — they and the deviators together.”
🔸 Meaning:
Both the idolaters (human) and those they worshiped (including evil
jinn) will be thrown together into Hell.
🔹 4️⃣ The evil jinn will also be fuel of the fire
📖 Surah Al-Jinn (72:15)
وَأَمَّا الْقَاسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا
لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا
“And as for the unjust among them, they will be firewood (fuel) for Hell.”
So the disbelieving jinn —
especially those who misled humans into worshiping them — will themselves
become fuel for the Fire.
🌋 Therefore, the complete Qur’anic picture is:
|
Group |
Their
role in shirk |
Their
end |
|
Humans who worship jinn |
Worshiped and obeyed jinn instead
of Allah |
Become inhabitants and fuel
of Hell |
|
Jinn who accepted worship |
Allowed or encouraged humans to
worship them |
Also inhabitants and fuel
of Hell |
|
Stones / idols |
Physical symbols of false gods |
Also fuel of Hellfire
(2:24) |
🌿 Final Summary
🔹 Humans who worship jinn, and jinn who accept or encourage
such worship,
🔹 along with the idols they use,
🔹 will all be cast together into Hell —
🔥 the humans and jinn will fill it, and
🔥 they and their idols will be its fuel
