According to the Quran, there are two creations that have free will 1) humans and 2) Jinn. Like human beings, the Jinn can also be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent…
Who exactly these creatures are remains for the most part a complete mystery. Apart from the information we know about these unseen creatures found in the Quran, we know next to nothing. And what the Quran says about them is very interesting.
The Jinn are mentioned frequently in the Qur’an, and there is an entire sura entitled Sūrat al-Jinn in the Qur’an.
The purpose of the Jinn, are the same as humans “I did not create the jinns and the humans except to worship Me alone.” Quran 51:56.
The interesting thing is that humans and Jinn sometimes interact.
“The day will come when He summons all of them (and says): “O you jinns, you have claimed multitudes of humans.” Their human companions will say, “Our Lord, we enjoyed each others’ company until we wasted the life span You had set for us.” He will say, “Hell is your destiny.” They abide therein forever, in accordance with God’s will. Your Lord is Wise, Omniscient” Quran 6:128.
With that being said the jinns seem to occupy a parallel world to that of mankind.
For years I have sought to find a way to independently prove their existence in various ways. I think I have recorded them on audiotape, as well photographed them in pictures. I have even gotten to the point to where I can sense them and feel their presence around me.
Some jinns are good, some are evil. They exercise free will, and they exercise choice. For example, they can choose to believe in One God or choose not to – what ever the case may be…
Jinn’s also appear to have distinct personalities.
They are different from angel beings, insofar as you can sense the difference in their intentions towards you.
Angels, for examples don’t scare you, and they don’t wish you harm. Jinn do in some cases. Jinns also have the power to manipulate and effect objects in the physical world.
I have seen them move chairs, knock over objects, turn on facets and lights. Most people often times seem to confuse Jinns with dead people, but they are different.
If you have thoughts on who these beings are, where they come from, how they interact with people – I would like to know.
Among other things I collect stories about these unusual creatures.
If you have a jinn story please comment on this story. I may include them in a book project I am doing. Please also include your name and email address so I can contact you if you wish.
Your tagline made me LOL!
Sippin on Jinn,and Juice.
So now you are saying, well not in the Bible but in other books where there are things that some people say are... well not jinn there either but something sort of like them if you stretch quite a bit and tilt your head just so it could be something similar.
Really?
Ok I get it. :^ )}
Agreed. That’s why I used a question mark.
Theory and speculation is sometimes interesting. And it is almost always the first step in arriving at Truth.
For instance, speculation is the first step in the scientific method. Or sometimes the second.
You can generate a hypothesis and then try to devise an experiment to disprove it.
Or you can assemble a bunch of facts and try to devise a theory that explains them, and then try to disprove your theory.
In any case, speculating is most important.
Just as long as one is aware that’s all it is.
I think the Prophet was smoking a little dope when he created these creatures. “Wow Allah, that was some good sh!t ... left me seeing Jinns”.
Nope, you’re right. All knowledge is contained in the King James Version Bible, and if it’s not there then it is lies crafted by Satan to deceive.
Seriously, if you want to nit-pick, you go right ahead. The subject is imaginary, invisible things, like djinni and angels and other such foofaraw. Reference to fictional things is not based on the credibility of the source, or pretty soon you are arguing which is real, Star Wars or Star Trek.
Milk and gin also go together well.[Wipes spray of vomit from screen...]
No, that's wooden stakes for vampires.

True dat on both counts but God gives us the choice.
Love love
And it’s cold Jinn time again
You know it’s the only thing
That keeps us together...
We are a capricious lot.
