AS SALAAMU ALAYKUM WARAHMATULLAH WARAHMATULLAH. LET'S START TONIGHT'S EDUCATION. OUR TOPIC IS 👇. *THE WORLD OF JINNS (Episode 1)*
___*PAGE 1*___. ✍️...
Jinn is an Arabic collective noun deriving from the Semitic root jnn (Arabic: جَنّ / جُنّ, jann), whose primary meaning is 'to hide' or 'to adapt'. Some authors interpret the word to mean, literally, 'beings that are concealed from the senses'. Cognates include the Arabic majnūn (مَجْنُون, 'possessed' or, generally, 'insane'), jannah (جَنَّة, 'garden', 'eden' or 'heaven'), and janīn (جَنِين, 'embryo'). Jinn is properly treated as a plural (however in Classical Arabic, may also appear as jānn, جَانّ), with the singular being jinnī (جِنِّيّ). The origin of the word jinn remains uncertain.

However they are creatures of Allah azza wa jalla. Some scholars relate the Arabic term jinn to the Latin genius—a guardian spirit of people and places in Roman religion—as a result of syncretism during the reign of the Roman empire under Tiberius and Augustus;[10] however, this derivation is also disputed. Another suggestion holds that jinn may be derived from Aramaic ginnaya (Classical Syriac: ܓܢܬܐ) with the meaning of 'tutelary deity' or 'garden'. Others claim a Persian origin of the word, in the form of the Avestic Jaini, a wicked (female) spirit. Jaini were among various creatures in the possibly even pre-Zoroastrian mythology of peoples of Iran.

The anglicized form genie is a borrowing of the French génie, also from the Latin genius. It first appeared in 18th-century translations of the Thousand and One Nights from the French, where it had been used owing to its rough similarity in sound and sense and further applies to benevolent intermediary spirits, in contrast to the malevolent spirits called 'demon' and 'heavenly angels', in literature. In Assyrian art, creatures ontologically between humans and divinities are also called genie. In an Islamic context, the term jinn is used for both a collective designation for any supernatural creature and also to refer to a specific type of supernatural creature.

Therefore, jinn are often mentioned together with devils/demons (shayāṭīn). Both devils and jinn feature in folklore and are held responsible for misfortune, possession and diseases. However, the jinn are sometimes supportive and benevolent. They are mentioned frequently in magical works throughout the Islamic world, to be summoned and bound to a sorcerer, but also in zoological treatises as animals with a subtle body. Like humans, they are created with fitra, born neither as believers nor as unbelievers, their attitudes instead depending on whether they accept God's guidance.
___*PAGE 5*___. ✍️...
The Quran and Sunnah indicate that the jinn exist, and that there is a purpose for their existence in this life, which is to worship Allāh Alone, with no partner or associate. Allāh says:
And I (Allāh) created not the jinns and humans, except they should worship Me (Alone).
[al-Dhariyat 51:56].
O assembly of jinns and mankind! Did there not come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses? [al-Anaam 6:130].
___*PAGE 6*___. ✍️...
The world of the jinn is an independent and separate world, with its own distinct nature and features that are hidden from the world of humans. Jinns and humans have some things in common, such as the possession of understanding and the choice between the way of good and the way of evil. The word jinn comes from an Arabic root meaning hidden from sight. Allāh says:
Verily he [Satan] and his qabeeluhu [his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe] see you from where you cannot see them [al-Araaf 7:27].
___*PAGE 7*___. ✍️...
Allāh has told us in His Book the essence from which the jinn were created. He says:
And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame o fire. [al-Hijr 15:27]
And the jinns did He create from a smokeless flame of fire.
[al-Rahman 55:15].
According to a hadeeth narrated by Aaishah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: The angels were created from light, the jinn were created from fire, and Adam was created from that (clay) which has been described to you. (Reported by Muslim, 5314).

*TYPES OF JINN*
Allāh has created different types of jinn. Among them are some who can take on different forms, such as dogs and snakes; some who are like flying winds with wings; and some who can travel and rest. Abu Thalabah al-Khushani said: The Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: The jinn are of three types: a types that has wings, and they fly through the air; a type that looks like snakes and dogs; and a type that stops for a rest then resumes its journey.

(Reported by al-Tahhaawi in Mushkil al-Athaar, 4/95, and by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer, 22/214. Shaykh al-Albaani said in al-Mishkaat (2/1206, no. 4148): al-Tahhaawi and Abul-Shaykh reported it with a saheeh isnaad).
*THE JINN AND THE SONS OF ADAM (pbuh)*
Every individual among the sons of Adam has a jinn who has been appointed to be his constant companion (qareen). Ibn Masood said: The Messenger of Allāh (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said, There is not one of you who does not have a jinn appointed to be his constant companion. They said, And you too, O Messenger of Allāh? He said, Me too, but Allāh has helped me and he has submitted, so that he only helps me to do good. (Reported by Muslim, 2814).

*THEIR POWERS*
Allāh has given the jinn powers that he has not given to humans. Allāh has told us about some of their powers, such as the ability to move and travel quickly. An ifreet from among the jinn guaranteed to the Prophet Sulaymaan (peace be upon him) that he would bring the throne of the Queen of Yemen to Jerusalem in a moment faster than that needed for a man to get up from where he was sitting. Allāh says:
