The pagan Arabs who lived before the time of Muhammad 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. Whether good or bad, jinn are neither angels nor demons, but another species of spiritual being, made of fire and air, and reflecting the elemental volatility in virtuous or evil behaviour.
The Jinn are of three kinds: one has wings and can fly;another are snakes and dogs; the third move from place to place like men.
Edward Lane identifies five orders of spiritual beings within a related species:
- Jann. These are transformed Jinn, much as apes and swine are thought of as transformed men.
- Jinn. 'Jinn' and 'Jann' are often used indiscriminately for the entire species, whether good or bad.
- Shaitans. Shaitan is often used to signify any evil genius.
- Ifrits. This is a powerful evil genius.
- Marids. The most powerful class of evil genius.

Adam. Islam claims that the Devil is a Jinn or being of fire. God commanded all of the Jinn to bow before Adam, but one Jinn, Iblis, refused. For this act he was sent down and became the Devil.
