Arabic Wiki page on Jinn, translated courtesy of Google. Useful info.

[djinnofthesea]

Keep in mind that this is a rough translation. Google translates European languages well. It doesn't do as well with Middle Eastern and Asian languages. This is still a better resource than the American version of this page.

Edit: This is the Sunni perspective on the matter. Shia Muslims feel differently, and I'll post the Farsi version as a contrast. The big difference is the Farsi (Iranian - most of Iran practices Shia Islam) page stresses that the wiki page does not confirm the existence of jinn, where the Arabic page does believe in jinn and even tries to use science to explain their existence. Interesting stuff.

Jinn: (depending on the religions and mythology) are the supernatural creatures which air is able to shape various forms have the minds and understanding of and ability to work hard, and they are otherwise mankind, one said to him "to reap," and said it was called so because they fear does not see, three varieties has the attribution of Hassan Al-Tabari Khushani that the Prophet peace be upon him said (jinn three varieties have wings flying in the air and the class and type of snakes and adorned Izanon).

The Muslims are unanimously agreed that the whole of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him envoy to the jinn and mankind is an envoy to the Almighty God said in his wise book (and revealed this Qur'an to warn you it is reached) Surat al 19. Allah revealed to His Prophet peace be upon him called Surat Al-Jinn.

Why call them fairy

Named Jana Asttaarham from the eyes, they see the people and we can not see them, and this fact is known and the Guide says the Quran: (he see you he and his tribe from where you see them we have made the evil ones, for those who do not believe) Al norms verse 27, he intended that man does not see the jinn image created by the real, but you may see them in other ways Mottagsudain have or are of the mind as it gets for some of those suffering.

believing Jinn

Some people believe the existence of supernatural beings called Jinn, these people believed that supernatural powers to the jinn and the jinn able to see the people and harm them, although non-physical objects jinn and able to shape the form that you want. And the perceived world that we see and we live a strange and wonderful how the world hidden from the eyes, which is not seen from the unseen, who wear hijab in sight of, the same human programmed on exploration and research in the metaphysics of worlds hidden and without ancient and as contained in the holy books, or as told by the storytellers and Quacks and many more, from the jinn and mankind on the trouble they caused them, and it is recognized that human beings are subject to risks and diseases and a few cleared him of life and live without drawbacks, his mind falls prey to the illusion and the jinn. And widened the complaint of mental illness and diseases, epilepsy Some people attributed the most to the world of the jinn and devils, making the people confused and some of them fell prey to illusions and shed charlatans, and that as a result of the prosperity of the Kingdom of fortune-tellers and readers to stop and others, and complacency of people to them for their ignorance, and not behind these ignorant people only loss and evil, There is no disease but with medication, diabetes medication ignorance of science.

Belief that there is a very old Gin, which is known in mythology the world lives in them concealed from the eyes of humans. This is called science (Demonology), and means of fiends (in Greek), and this knowledge as defined by the Encyclopaedia Britannica looking in the study of demons and beliefs about them, as looking in the doctrine of the existence of jinn in the Muslim world. Where the religion of Islam differentiates between the meaning of the jinn and the devil. Valjn not demons as the concept of the Islamic religion but the devils are a special category of jinn and disobey God whispers to people. Denied many of the philosophers and their presence and said the fairy to be in religious books is the evil desires of humans, and malignant forces, and the desires of angels is to be good, they claim.

And denied a range of people and their denial of full and claimed a group of them that is to be the lives of the planets, but this is close to the fantasy, and Muslims would interpret the jinn said, they kind of people Msttren for people in their faith and disbelief, and their own good and evil, said Dr. Mohammed gorgeous in his book in interpretation of Surat Al-Jinn The Jinn are to be angels, angels and Valjn has one world there is no difference between them.

He claimed a group of modernists that the jinn are germs and microbes that infect people diseases revealed by science recently and this is an illusion and a myth is not out of it, Valjn physical presence for the life of discreet mentioned in the divine books, and bacteria is that of the living physical creatures, and spread the idea that the jinn are the transfer of plague in ancient times, some people at the present time do not believe in the existence of the jinn.

But the fact that other than the creation of the jinn and mankind is a world of angels and spirits. And between the jinn and mankind as much as common in terms of Alatsaf in mind and will and in terms of the ability to choose the path of good and evil, and in terms of reference of worship and as defined in the Quran: ((I created the jinn and mankind except to worship)) Almariaat, verse 56, and saying: ( (And the jinn We created before of smokeless fire)) Al-Hijr verse 27. Ford mentioned word jinn and elves, 32 times in the Koran, while Satan is mentioned 87 visits in the Koran, Satan said 11 times in the Qur'an.

In conclusion, the jinn third world non-human beings and angels, and they are creatures of rational and conscious aware of are not symptoms of disease or bacteria, and they are the liars, but they are creating a costly worship and evidence that many of the Torah and the Bible and the Koran, as recognized by a lot of people, because they are news frequently about the prophets and messengers, and the public to acknowledge them and some of them deny that they are also denied they sect of Muslims Kalmatzlp and Jahamis and others, though many of those who see them and hear them do not know they are gone, but they claim they were men of the unseen or space men and so on, and not seeing them is not stranger has been scientifically proven inability of the neighborhoods to see everything, but that bees see ultraviolet light and see the human, and therefore sensitive to the sun in the atmosphere foggy, and a bird owl see the mouse in the darkness of the night Abhiyan, therefore we do not see Jana Some districts see them like a donkey and a dog , it was reported in the books of Muslims In conversations Sunnah by Imam Ahmad in Musnad attribution correctly raised for Jaber as saying: (When you hear the dogs barking and donkeys braying at night, Vtaoma Allah from Satan, they do not see what you can see). And, according to divine books about harness the jinn of the Prophet Solomon, were doing a lot of work needs power, capacity and skills high, and mentioned that the Qur'an in the verse: (and to Solomon the wind Gduha month Ruahha month Oslana an eye diameter and the jinn who works between his hands with the permission of his Lord and Ezg commanded us to make taste for them from the torment of the Blazing Fire), Al Sheba verse 12. According to Ibn Taymiyyah in Majmoo 19/10: (did not violate one of the Muslim communities in the presence of jinn, and that God sent Muhammad to them, and the majority of communities of infidels to prove the jinn, The People of the Book of the Jews and Christians understand is associated with them as an admission of Muslims, and found them denying that, as there is in Muslim denied ...)

created the jinn and origin

[djinnofthesea.livejournal.com]

[Need to rewrite the] God created the jinn from fire and the first elves is their father SOMIAH "requires evidence" which called for committees to be Mrepen in the land and dwell the earth before the creation of Adam, as stated in the Quran: (We created man from sounding clay of black mud altered, and Demons We created him before of smokeless fire) Al-Hijr, Verse 26-27.

When God dwell in the land poisoned and shed the blood of some God sent them to the angels, and spent them, and Satan took with them to the heavens and became like the angels worship God and obey His commands and prohibitions to keep away from.

And remained on the ground portion of the jinn, fled to the caves and mountains in the bottom of the seas and oceans, and took some of the sites which they breed and live, and when he landed man on the earth, the development and manufacture of submarines and aircraft and ships, and GAP land and moved from Mchargaha to the west, and began to pose a threat to the existence of Gin to go to their sites, Vohaboh. This verse in response to those who say that the angels know the unseen, when they said in the Qur'an: (The Lord said to the angels: I will create in the land-Khalifa said Atjal where the mischief therein and shed blood, we praise praise and sanctify you said I know what you do not know) Al-Baqarah, verse 30 .

Angels are they based on what happened SOMIAH and his descendants from the commission of sin before the creation of Adam, the father of mankind.

After God created Adam and commanded angels to prostrate to him, the devil and grow back to its original state. Satan refused to prostrate, thinking he's better than Adam because it is a creature of fire and Adam from the dust of a heavy order of his Lord. Aftrdh mercy of God and the devil, but the request to extend his life until the day of resurrection of the revenge of God that Adam gave him and began to consist of a new world of the jinn. We have mentioned the story last word in the Quran where he said the devil: (said ie the Day of Resurrection) Al norms, verse 14, God answered him: (he said you are of those reprieved, till the appointed time), 37.36 verses of Al-Hijr.

And the origin of their creation of the fire as stated in many verses, and the Devils are one of the jinn and Satan, was narrated in the books of Biography of the Prophet that the devil are in the form of Sheikh Najdi at the meeting of the infidels in the Seminar House to discuss the Islamic call and pointed them to kill the Prophet Mohammed, detained or ejected of Mecca. Hasan al-Basri said: It was not the angels of Satan blink of an eye. The evidence verse in the Qur'an: (We said to the angels: Prostrate yourselves to Adam, they fell prostrate, all save Iblis was a jinn disobeyed the command of his Lord Ovttakdhunh and his descendants, parents of Donny you are an enemy of evil doers instead), Surat Al-Kahf, verse 50, as well as stated in the books of Hadith in Saheeh Muslim from Prophet Mohammed as saying that the angels are created from light, and the jinn were created from the fire, and that Adam was created from clay.

The question is Is Satan is the origin of the jinn, or is one of them? The opinion was the last show of it had ever explained in the verse: (Iblis was a jinn), but there is the view of Ibn Taymiyyah, where he says that the devil out of the jinn as Adam out of mankind, (Total Fataawa, 4 / 235 346). Masoudi says: What is said of the news in the principle of creation is what brought by the law and moved back from the salaf, and the rest of the past, Fberna them as received from the Olvazam and we found him in their books. He told al-Shahristani, in the first book on the boredom and the bees story about Mary commentator of the four Gospels, and are mentioned in the Bible clouds in the form of a debate between the devil and the angels after the command to prostrate to Adam, in conclusion, said the commentator on the Gospels: God revealed to him by the marquees of majesty and pride, you devil you what knew me, introduced me to, even if I knew I did not ask what I do. And thus fell suspicions of the devil. Rianahm with magicians Abuaric mirage such as glass, liquid or boiling water or steam

Evidence of the mind

[djinnofthesea.livejournal.com]

The mind does not preclude the existence of worlds absent aware of, and well, because it is proven that there are many things in this universe, humans do not perceive, but feel their existence, and non-human vision of something of materialism does not entail non-existence, even if the inference would not see the thing on the non-existence of true and originally should be to the wise relied upon to discuss any sane person in this world than in the presence of materials and physical forces and material unknown, and when he revealed bacteria and other, and what we have studied quasars and stars and the world of astronomy, The Anthropology of the human does not look all sorts of life in the universe, {: of knowledge but a little} , Surat Al-Isra verse 85, and that the existence of other worlds containing varieties of life we do not know is not sufficient evidence to inform the mind of all the universe. This is concerned with many universities in the world research in the science of Albarrasaikologi, or demonic possession and call it the Muslims, for example, the University Corningen and City College in New York, in England to connect British School of Science spiritual research in this science, as well as the College of Edinburgh, spiritual, and the University of London has become the Laboratory research is called (the National Research Laboratory spiritual) and published a weekly newspaper describes the latest research in this area, while in France there are the International Institute for behind the soul.

Since the fire is composed of waves of heat and electromagnetic and light and the jinn, a creature of fire and therefore can be interpreted many of the phenomena related to the Jinn because they are creatures of electromagnetic waves, or are involved with the world waveform is known to us clearly, and the question is how can the jinn control in the human mind, or affect which, of course, can not be answered only by reference to the views of scientists in the science research of electromagnetic and those who have studied the effects of electromagnetic waves on the human body, including an article written by the world, Professor Yves Rocard His research hydrogen bomb French has pointed out that the sixth sense of the human and superhuman abilities to transfer information to remote and vision Distance Kalastjla visual and other can be explained due to electromagnetism.

It is scientifically known that the brain in humans can be affected by electromagnetic waves, and as the jinn creature of fire, a view hard for the people of the heavenly religions and the fire is an energy wave, and therefore the waves generally have an impact on the minds of human beings and thus can be explained by whispers demonic influence of wavelength on the mind and other phenomena alien to the world of the jinn in humans. But we must all believe that the jinn They can not control the human mind, he says {Ebadi that you do not have authority over them except those who follow the evildoers} Al-Hijr verse 42, then something must be rights sponsor to confront these whispers as soon as the remembrance of Allah the Almighty said {the devil was weak} Nisa verse 76

food and drink at the Gin

[djinnofthesea.livejournal.com]

Narrated in Sahih Muslim from Ibn Umar that the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said: (If you eat let him eat with his right hand, and if you drink may drink with his right hand, the devil eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand), in the Musnad of Imam Ahmad that the Prophet Muhammad said: (from eating with his left hand to eat with the devil, and drinking with his left hand to drink with the devil).

In Musnad Imam Ahmad also narrated from the Prophet Muhammad said: (If a man enters his house, he mentioned the name of Allah when entering and when fed, said the devil: No Bed for you, no dinner here, but income did not mention the name of God when he entered, he said: realized overnight, but did not mention the name of God when his food, he said: realized overnight and dinner), was narrating in Saheeh Muslim, also, in these texts of the books of Biography of the Prophet explicit indication that the jinn and devils eat and drink.

Eat Gin dung and bones In Saheeh al-Bukhaari from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet Muhammad ordered him to come to him with stones for cleaning out and said to him: (do not give me a bone or droppings), - the end of an interview by al-Bukhaari here - and when he asked Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet Mohammed after the mystery of prohibitions on the bone and Alrotp , said: "(they are the food of the jinn, and that a donkey to a delegation from the Jin Nisibis Vsoloni intake, I prayed God to them: and not to go through bone Brotp not only found the food). In Sunan al-Tirmidhi, the attribution is true of Abdullah bin Masood said: The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him: (not Tstnjua dung, and bones, it increased the brothers of the jinn) and in Saheeh Muslim from Ibn Mas'ud: The Prophet Muhammad said: (came to me unnecessary Gin , so I went with him, I read them the Quran), and asked him, said intake (you every bone the name of God it is in your hands, and more have to meat, fodder for all scybalum Dwabkm). Messenger of Allah said: (do not they eat them Tstnjua brothers). That in the preparation of the meetings of the jinn is the staple food and incense is divided into two parts:

Perfume kind of top committees such as: amber, musk, Algeori ...
Perfume bad for the lower committees (demons) such as: nail Sprite, Alvasuk, ...

Mating

[djinnofthesea.livejournal.com]

Marriage is contained between the jinn to breed and who knows them, they are breeding as stated in the text of the Koran, saying: (no Itmthn Anas them or committees) Al-Rahman, verse 56, has claimed people they do not get married and this opinion overruled clear evidence in the Qur'an and Sunnah, as indicated by the verses on the suitability of mating, have tried some of the people entering into how the marriage of the company, this is an illusion is real to the difference of sex between humans and the jinn, but hating scientists delving into these matters and explained by saying: (If you find a pregnant woman was said to your husband? She said: Gin Victher corruption ), and has denied the Muslim scholars and others said, is permissible, but if so happened between mankind and the jinn mating how we decide what we do not see, but comes from this section much evil, and how this harmony between the races Mtkhalvp in creation becomes the wisdom of the marriage null and void, and claimed some of the ignorant and received in people now, and ask for one who does the Islamic ruling on a helpless can not escape them, even if this happened, we have created tribunals to adjudicate marriages jinn and mankind will be long and this is explained because it is purely imagination of the fabric of retribution and quacks. And like that there are approved and the view is false, there is the campus and his first view of the other; that God created the jinn and the creation of mankind and the Almighty said: that He created for you wives from among yourselves to repose in them and put between you affection and mercy in this are Signs for those who reflect.

Therefore marriage is not permissible to mankind from their brothers of the jinn, and this is a major sin, because if I said that a small sin will not be able to say that he divorced her after the first intercourse! And continue on the small large, and cries of the Sacred is an infidel
