  And in that are included all the angels, jinn, humans, the Throne, the Chair, and every creature.

• كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى الذاريات وَمَا خلقت الْجِنّ وَالْإِنْس إِلَّا ليعبدون

  As He, the Most High, said in Adh-Dhariyat, 'And I did not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship Me.'

  الْجِنَّ — the Jinn. This noun carries 'the' and its ending marks it as the object of the creating verb, the thing made. The accusative ending, not word order, is what tells the reader this is what was created rather than the creator.
