The jinn are among the creatures that Allah (swt) created. Allah (swt)
created angels, jinn, mankind, animals, plants and others. Jinn have
some qualities like human beings. These qualities are intellect,
discrimination, freedom, and the power tochoose between right and
wrong, between true and false, as well as between good and bad.
Question 2: When did Allah (swt) create the jinn?
Allah (swt) created the jinnbefore Adam (pbuh) was created. Both were
createdin heaven and lived in paradise. One may read in Surah Al-Hijr
(The Rocky Tract) [Qur'an, 15:26-27]. However, nothing was mentioned
about the duration of time of the jinn's creation before Adam (pbuh).
Question 3: What are jinn created from?
Jinn are created from fire of hot wind [Qur'an, 15:27]; and from
smokeless fire [Qur'an, 55:15]. They were originally made from fire
and then molded and shaped in the form and shape that Allah (swt)
wanted them to be.
Question 4: Do jinn have bodies?
Yes and no! It depends upon the information that one has. One group of
scholars believe that jinn do not have bodies of their own. They also
do not inhabit bodies of othercreatures. However, they do exist
independently by themselves. Therefore, they do not know how they
exist without bodies: smoke, flame, fire or what?
The other group of scholars do believe that jinn do have bodies either
definite or subtle. If their bodies are definite then they have some
density; otherwise, if they are subtle, then they are so fine that our
weak eyes cannot see them. One mayread Surah Al-A'raf (The Heights)
[Qur'an, 7:27]. Even if they are subtle they should have weight and
density similar to that of the air itself.
Question 5: Do jinn die?
Yes. Jinn do die. As long as they are creatures created by Allah
(swt), they shoulddie. They are creatures that marry, produce
children, eat, drink, and dielike all other creatures in the universe.
One may read Qur'an Surah Al-Rahman (The Most Merciful) [Qur'an,
55:26-28].
Question 6: Do the jinn feel envy of us?
Yes. There are two types of evil eye: human and thejinn. One has to
read regularly 'A'oozu Billahi Minash-shaitanir Rajeem. Also, by
reading Ayah Al-Kursi and Al-Mu'awwazatain, one will be protected from
the evil eyes of both the jinn and mankind.
Question 7: Are there messengers and prophets from within the community of jinn?
Yes. Allah (swt) has sent prophets and messengers to jinn from within
the jinn community. Also, Allah(swt) sent Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to
mankind, to jinn, and to other creatures. In Surah Al-An'am (The
Cattle), Allah(swt) explains that He sentmessengers to men and tojinn.
See Qur'an [6:130].
Question 8: Do jinn have different religions, sects and denominations?
In Surah Al-Jinn (Ch. 72), Allah (swt) informs us that some jinn
accepted Islam, while others refused. Those who refused have deviated,
and developed for themselves different methods, different ways oflife,
and different religions,sects and denominations.
Question 9: Do jinn marry and have children?
Yes. Jinn do marry and they do have children. The way they marry is
not known to us yet. We may be able to know the futureif Allah (swt)
wants us to know.
People never knew about microbes, viruses, and the unseen micro
creatures. Now we are able to know many things about their life
cycles, their life duration, their methods of duplication or
reproduction: sexually andasexually. The mere fact that we do not know
how the jinn marry and reproduce does not negatetheir being married
and reproduced. The Qur'an stipulates in Surah Al-Kahf (18:50) that
they have offsprings. Similarly, the Qur'an states in Surah Al-Rahman
(55:56) that jinn and human beings never touched (married) the ladies
of paradise.
Question 10: Do jinn have animals as pets?
Yes. Jinn do have animals or beasts of their own. TheProphet (pbuh)
mentionedthat every piece of dung isfodder for the beasts of the jinn.
However, we do not know what type of beasts the jinn have. The same
thing is to be said as to the varieties of beasts, their number, their
shape, their size, their weight andso on.
Question 11: Do jinn have homes of their own?
Yes. The jinn do have homes. They live all over the planet earth.
However,there are special places that one may find them in abundance
and on a regular basis. These are deserts, ruins, places of impurities
such as dunghills, bathrooms and graveyards. They live in houses of
human beings too. For those who enter their houses mentioning the name
of Allah (swt), the jinn cannot have a place to stay overnight in that
house. If the people of the house mention the name of Allah (swt)
beforeeating, then the shaitan will not be able to eat with them.
