Those whom they call upon, themselves seek the means of access to their Lord, that it related to a group of people who worshipped a party amongst the Jinn. The group from amongst the Jinn embraced Islam, but the people kept worshipping them as they did before, and it was (on this occasion) that the verse was revealed: Those whom they call upon, themselves seek the means of access to their Lord.
