The pagan, pre-Islamic 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 its obviously pagan origins, one would expect that the belief in jinn would be abandoned with the advent of Islam, but it was absorbed and jinn began to be seen, on occasions, as benevolent as well just evil. According to the Quran, angels are made of light and have no choice but to follow their prescribed patterning. 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. To the pagans, jinn were real, as they are to Muslims. However, to Christians and Jews they are not real.
AnswerYes, they are real as they are mentioned in the Holy Quran & there's a whole chapter titled with their name.

∙ 9y agoThere are two different meanings of the word djinn.
In some cultures and myths, this means what we typically call a genie. It is what we picture being cooped up in a lamp for thousands of years, popping out to occasionally give some mortal a few wishes. These are fictional figures that make people princes, heal the sick, and award riches.
In other cultures and beliefs, djinn are a type of demon. In this case there are many people and religions that do believe in the existence of demons in some form or another.
Djinn are a mythological humanoid and as such do not exist outside of stories and the imagination. There has never been testable evidence of djinn, nor is there likely to be.
