How Human Behave towards Jinn Genesis of jinn The word Jinn was from Arabic verb which

ich means which has a meaning locked to be hidden. They are called Jinn because of their hidden existence. Like human beings, Jinn is a creature of God. They were created before human, from the smokeless flame of fire. Word of God:

and the jinn, we created aforetime from the smokeless flame of Fire


and indeed, we created man from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud. and the jinn, we created aforetime from the smokeless flame of Fire. Same as Human beings, they also created to do worship towards Allah SWT:


And I (Allh) created not the jinns and humans except they should Worship Me (Alone).1 Some Islamic scholars said that the origin of them is Iblis, while satan were his descendants, iblis also created from fire. Having ruh and jasad They also eat and drink like humans, their diet is animal bones and waste.2 Jin has a more subtle body of man that can change and resemble other creatures, including humans resemble. 3Nevertheless, they are not ghoib creature, only they have their own

nature that can not be seen humans, they even can not know the unseen, as humans, but jinns can see humans while not vice versa.4 (notes) Iblis In the "track record" of him, Iblis is a crafty creature, which is often tempting humans to the road of error, started since adam was created, God commanded the angels to prostrate to Adam, the angels prostrated themselves except Iblis.

and (remember) when we said to the angels; "Prostrate to Adam." so they prostrated except Ibls (Satan). He was one of the jinns; He disobeyed the command of his Lord. will You Then take Him (Ibls) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me while they are enemies to you? what an evil is the exchange for the Zlimn (polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc). The verse above does not explain that the iblis belonged to angel, because angels were created from light, while Iblis from fire. Therefore istisna 'used in lafadz devil is istisna' munfasil. Iblis was disobedient to Allah SWT and promised to continue to tempt men to follow his error:


(Ibls) said: "Allow Me respite till the Day they are raised up (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)."
4 5

Al-Baqarah 34.


(Ibls) said: "Because You have sent Me astray, surely I will sit In wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path. Faith of Jinn As a creature who is obliged to worship the Lord, there is a Mumin jinn Group and some are kafir. They follow the teachings of prophets and apostles of the human race, and believe in the holy books that have been revealed to the apostles.

29. and (remember) when we sent towards You (Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam) Nafran (three to ten persons) of the jinns, (quietly) listening to the Qur'n,

AlAhqaf : 29-32

when they stood In the presence thereof, they said: "Listen In silence!" and when it was finished, they returned to their people, as warners. 30. they said: "O Our people! Verily! we have heard a Book (this Qur'n) sent down after Msa (Moses), confirming what came before it, it guides to the Truth and to a Straight Path (i.e. Islm). 31. O Our people! respond (with obedience) to Allh's Caller (i.e. Allh's Messenger Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam), and believe In Him (i.e. believe In that which Muhammad Sal-Allaahu 'alayhe Wa Sallam has brought from Allh and follow Him). He (Allh) will forgive You of Your sins, and will save You from a painful torment (i.e. Hell-fire) . 32. and Whosoever does not respond to Allh's caller, He cannot escape on earth, and there will be no Auliy' (protectors) for Him besides Allh (from Allh's punishment). those are In manifest error.

Human towards Jinn It was told that the jinn to help humans in several respects, as Solomon had an army of jinn who submit to him, and helped him in fulfilling his business.

they worked for Him what He desired, (making) High rooms, images, basins as large as reservoirs, and (cooking) cauldrons fixed (in their places). "Work you, O family of Dwud (David), with thanks!" but few of My slaves are grateful. Today, many people claim to know the unseen, they always called himself a shaman or paranormal. Most of them claimed to be able to communicate with them, and received information from their race, which not everyone can do it. Communicate with the jinn is not a forbidden thing, because there is no mention nash shorih. However, people should be careful with them, because not all the information they provide is not necessarily true. Not like angels, jin do something with their own will, they can say honestly and be lying. However, God has warned people not to depend on and ask for help to them, or people will fall into the error.

Saba 13

'And Verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the masculine among the jinns, but they (jinns) increased them (mankind) In sin and disbelief.

They does not know the unseen Frequent mistake among humans, that the jinn know ghoib things, but they are like humans, which has a hijab, there are limitations of their knowledge and they can not know the secrets of the divine that only God knows.


65. say: "None In the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib (unseen) except Allh, nor can they perceive when they shall be resurrected."

As another proof of their emptiness of knowledge was when Solomon is passed away:


14. Then when we decreed death for Him [Sulaimn (Solomon)], nothing informed them (jinns) of his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his stick, so when He fell down, the jinns saw clearly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have stayed In the humiliating torment.

Al-Jinn 6

Because of these limitations, and the fact they are also creature of God, humans do not glorify them, and should respect them as fellow creatures of God. Human who took shelter with the jinn was musyrik, and sinner of musyrik will be placed in jahannam. Naudzu billah min dzalik
