Are jinns in Islam real

Answer 1

Answer AThe pagan Arabs had a confused notion of a class of shadowy beings, everywhere present yet nowhere distinctly perceived, the jinn or djinn. They were the personification of what is uncanny in nature, or perhaps the hostile and unsubdued aspects of it, and were mainly objects of fear. With the advent of Islam, they began to be seen, on occasions, as benevolent as well. As the older Abrahamic religions have nothing that suggests the existence of jinn, they could be discarded as hangovers from paganism

The poet and close friend of Muhammad, Hassan ibn Thabit, first came to write poetry under the influence of a jinn: she met him in a street of Medina, leapt upon him, pressed him down and compelled him to utter three verses of poetry. Thereafter he was a poet, and his verses came to him from the direct inspiration of the jinn. He referred himself to his "brothers of the Jinn" who wove for him artistic words, and tells how weighty lines had been sent down to him from heaven. As a close friend of Muhammad personally experienced a jinn, they should be accepted as real.

Jinn, who are made of fire and air, reflect the elemental volatility in virtuous or evil behaviour. Whether jinn are real is a matter of faith.

Answer B

yes they are true and in different verses of Quran they are mentioned. you can search word جن or جان in a Quran site like tanzil to see verses. they are creatures like human with free will and have both good and evil type. they will go paradise or hell like humans. they live in earth around us but we usually can not see them unless our spiritual eye is open. some believers can see and communicate them and even use them as servant. they can pass place and time quickly. for example "the fourteen infallibles" used them for delivering a letter quickly to a distant city. they are made from top of fire (perhaps means electromagnetic waves). they are not material beings like us. at leas the material in our universe. they live in another universe parallel to our universe. they use water and some believers have seen them in places like bathrooms and have said their shape is similar to goats and they can walk on two legs and are taller than human and can talk human. they have society, marriage,.. like humans. they can change their shape to human also.

Answer C

The concept of Jinn is not only exclusive to Islam only. They are also mentioned in other religions.

The best biblical reference other than exclusively Islam, would be King Solomon of The Bible (Old Testament). It is accepted that King Solomon worked with demons, according to Old Testament. Islam simply elaborates more that on that event saying that King Solomon received the gift of exercising control over some Jinn.

Satan, who tempted Adam and Eve, and also Jesus and probably a number of other influential people, was also a Jinn.

Also read the Quran "Surah Jinn", which is basically the narration of a Jinn. So we must believe that Jinn in Islam is real.

Answer D This question is bound to have multiple opinions since it is about something not proved by science, but present in religion. This would be the same as asking if angels are real. Answer EThe answer is very simple. Yes Jinn is real in Islam and other God religions (Judaism and Christianity). Quran is true God revelation words to prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the angel Gabriel (or Jibril) and Jinns listened to it from prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as mankind.

Quran says (meaning English translation):

Say: "Surely if men and jinns get together to produce the like of this (Qur'an), they will not be able to produce the like of it, however they might assist one another. (17:88)

and says:

Solomon was heir to David, and he said: "O people, we have been taught the language of Tair, and have been given of everything. This is a clear favour indeed." (16) His armies of jinns and men and Tair assembled, formed into ranks, (and marched) (27: 16-17)

and says:

And (remember), when We turned a company of jinns towards you to listen to the Qur'an, they arrived when it was being recited, and they said: "Keep silent." When it was over they came back to their people, warning them: (46:29)
