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.
