The Djinn are said to be creatures with free will, made from 'smokeless fire' by Allah in the same way humans were made of earth. According to the Qur'an, Djinn have free will, and Iblis used this freedom in front of Allah by refusing to bow to Adam when Allah told Iblis to do so. By refusing to obey Allah order he was thrown out of the Paradise and called “Shaitan” (See Shaitan and Satan). Djinn are frequently mentioned in the Qur'an, Sura 72 of the Holy Qur'an (named Al-Jinn) is entirely about them. Another Sura (Al-Naas) mentions the Djinn in the last verse. It is also mentioned in the Qur'an that Muhammad was sent as a prophet to both “humanity and the Djinn”.
In the world there are three main creations, Angels, Humans and Jinns (other than various animals).
Angels: Angels are made from light (Noor-). In Islam they are known as the Light of God. They do not commit any sin nor disobey God and they always worship him.
Human: Humans are created from earth and are given free will to do good or bad in this life. Because of the free will they will be held accountable for their choices in this life on the Day of Judgement. Because of that free will, those who follow and obey God (Allah), will be rewarded with paradise/heaven.
Jinns: Jinns are also in the category of humans in the sense of free will. The only difference is that they are made of smokeless fire and therefore are not visible to humans. There are more jinns than humans in terms of population. Jinns have the power to fly and fit in to any space so they live in remote areas, mountains, seas, trees, and in the air in their own communities. We can't see them and they also can't see us clearly. Humans are only visible as a very blurry image to them, very few jinns are able to see humans like humans can see other humans. Like humans, Jinns will also be judged on judgment day and will be sent to heaven or hell according to the life they lead. Jinns can both Muslim and non-Muslim. The non-Muslim Jinns form part of an army or group and then are known as a shaitan. Every person is assigned a special jinn to them, also called a qareen, they are the jinns what whisper into your soul and tell you to give into your evil desires. The Prophet Muhammed's jinn turned into a Muslim jinn, on the recitation of the Qur'an, as the jinn found it most beautiful, now the jinn only tells him to do good. (source-wikipedia)
My take on this is that since this is a religious view point its not right to judge whether its true or false.Judging will lead to controversy.Therefore this information should be only looked up to as a reference and not of something lacking in logic.

This topic the most interesting of all. I agree with the blogger as she says that this cannot be judged.!
ReplyDeleteit is unsettling to imagine that there are jinns out there even as i type this out.. people claim many things and just by using religion and god as a tool they convince the masses. i seriously doubt the existence of any jinn..
ReplyDeletethe roots of all these stories are ancient and cannot be dismissed just like that.. just because we are not able to prove doesn't mean it doesn't exist.. let's keep our minds open to such radical yet much believed claim
ReplyDeletei agree with the blogger that these stuff should not be judged as they are of religious base.even in hindu tradition we have devargal or angels who are invisible to human eyes.. so lets wait till its proven or disproved rather than oppose it vehemently
