There are so many djinn/jinn threads in this forum, I wonder if anybody will be able to contribute something new here. Better use the search function as the experts may not wish to repeat themselves.

The Concept of the Jinn: I will explain and reiterate it so that we may benefit from it: The jinn are creatures made of toxic fire, which is a pure, fiery flame. It is a mixture of various types of fire: the fire of rocks, nuclear fire, the fire of wood, and the fire of metals. This is one interpretation, and what’s important is that they are creatures whose essence is fire; they were then formed, and a soul was breathed into them, transforming them into ethereal, permeable entities capable of taking shape, flowing, and inhabiting other beings.

They descended to Earth before the creation of humankind and colonized it until they defied God’s commands, so He ordered their kingdoms to be destroyed by the angels.

They were banished to another realm, and some of them remained to form a kingdom once again.

They live on Earth but in a dimension that can be described as a higher, vibrational, ethereal plane. They eat, drink, and mate. They form kingdoms and alliances—some of them love humans, while others hate them.

Long ago, one of them ascended to heaven, lifted up by God because he was extremely pious and devout; he then fell when he refused to bow down to Adam, the father of humankind.

When he descended, he brought with him a map of magic and occult practices, and he began to teach the jinn, attract them, and intermarry with them, producing offspring known as demons.

He then taught humans idol worship and magic.

Magic has two main sources: either the teachings of the devils,

or the teachings of two angels named “Harut and Marut.”

Even angelic magic is forbidden in Islam because it is a prohibited weapon that involves interfering in the affairs of others.
Humans cannot match God’s wisdom to the point of ruling over others, let alone themselves.

Magic in Islam is described in the Holy Book: it can deceive you into seeing a rope or a stick as a snake that is actually slithering. It can separate lovers or bring them together. But all of this happens only with God’s permission—meaning that even magic does not escape the rule of the Almighty God.

Best regards.

I think @Angelkesfarl really hit the nail on the head with his response but I want to make one correction:

They are not necessarily beings of a "toxic fire" or "fire" by traditional means, but a "smokeless" fire.. In essence, what i realized is that term is referencing electricity.. They are made of some type of electricity/energy that is not fire itself, possiibly some type of electric radiation.. To which I realized all spirits/demons are of this field of energy when in contact with our physical.. Thus, when they possess somene, they are coming in contact with their own electricity, and firing off neurons and neurotransmitters / ions in the nervous system..

Regardless, great response!

The origin of creation is true fire, and then, through the entry of the soul into them, they transformed into those ethereal forms. That is why, when an electrical charge is discharged, the hair stands on end—one of the ways this phenomenon manifests in your presence. Thank you; it seems you are truly experienced.

When it comes to Jinns It might also be important to consider the reality that humans are quite limited to what they know about the Nature of these smokeless Fire Spirits in their infinite varieties. Operating not only in realms far beyond human perceptual capacities, yet they can be present and completely undetected within the coagulated human realm in a flash of a blinking eye.

Mentioned most notebly in the Quran, one can be assured the Jinn existed, and in oral folk, traditions even before the revelation of the Quran.

You will find plenty of deep medieval Islamic scholars discussing and debating the nature, purpose and meaning of Jinn along with their Islamic Angeology commentaries. And you will also find plenty of modern ph. D students dissertations exploring what they said.

Learn and read all you can...there is the knowledge of Jinn by reading, and the Ancients would know by Experience.

Experience and encounter with Jinn will more than likely not be on human terms. Being prepared, equipped with knowledge is on human terms.

I might add, Jinn are also known and described as Spiritual Consciiusness energies both within ourselves as well as outside ourselves. There is much written about this in Islamic discussion of Jinn.
