  • Jinn Q & A
     OP - May 21, 2012, 01:46 AM

    Can jinn have sex with humans? Can jinn impregnate female humans? Can jinn hurt people? Can jinn engage in a three some with you and your wife? Can jinn become muslim? Can they take on human or animal forms? Can they die?

    All good questions a muslim and non-muslim must ask, as jinn are everywhere and you just might piss one off! No fear, Jinn Q & A are here!



    This is the starter post, and I will update it whenever I come across new information on the jinn that answers some of the most important questions everyone must know. If you have a question on anything jinn, ask away and I will do my best to find an answer for you.

    P.S. anyone wanting to contribute any knowledge on this subject or answer a question, please feel free to do so, but please provide links or references (i.e. Qu'ran, hadith, quotes from tafsir or 'ulema).


    *Disclaimer: I cannot be sure that any of my advice will cure your jinn problems, so take my advice at your own risk. Once you scroll past this post, all responsibility in what happens to you is yours and yours alone.

    What are jinn? How did they get here and what are they made of?

    Jinn are creatures made of fire and are the offspring of Iblees who is also known as Shaytaan. There is are some scholars who've said that Iblees was an angel, and other 'ulema have refuted this like here http://islamqa.info/en/ref/8976/jinn saying that Iblees was never an angel but rather a Jinn, and seeing as jinn are descendants of Iblees, it means that he was the first Jinn. Jinn can be referred to as shayateen, due to the fact that they are off-spring of Iblees and are well known to be deceptive and tricksters in nature like their father.
     
    Quote


    "And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire”

    [al-Hijr 15:26-27]


    Quote
    “Will you then take him (Iblees) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me while they are enemies to you? What an evil is the exchange for the Zaalimoon (polytheists, and wrongdoers, etc)”

    [al-Kahf 18:50]  


    Quote
    Al-Hasan al-Basri said: Iblees was not one of the angels, not even for a single moment. He is the father of the jinn, just as Adam (peace be upon him) is the father of mankind. This was narrated by al-Tabari with a saheeh isnaad (part 3/89).


    The jinn are invisible most of the time, but they can take on the form of humans and animals.

    Quote
    the basic principle concerning the jinn is that they are concealed from mankind, hence they are called jinn, because the Arabic root janna refers to a single original meaning which is to cover and conceal, as Ibn Faaris said in Maqaayees al-Lughah. The jinn are so called because they are concealed from mankind, and the foetus is called janeen in Arabic because he is concealed in his mother’s womb, and a garden is called jannah because it is concealed by trees, and an insane person is called majnoon because his mind is covered, and so on in all derivations from this root.

     from Islam Q & A: http://islamqa.info/en/ref/40703/jinn

    Quote
    “Verily, he and Qabeeluhu (his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see them”

    [al-A’raaf 7:27]  


    The jinn may take the form of humans as seen below:

    Quote
    al-Bukhaari (3275) from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) put me in charge of guarding the zakaah of Ramadaan. Someone came to me and started scooping up some of the food, and I said, “By Allaah, I will take you to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).” He complained of being in need and having dependents, so Abu Hurayrah took pity on him and let him go. This happened three times, and on the third occasion, Abu Hurayrah said: “I will take you to the Messenger of Allaah. This is the third time and each time you say that you will not come back, then you come back.” He said, “Let me go and I will teach you something by means of which Allaah will benefit you.” I said: “What is it?” he said: “When you go to bed, recite Aayat al-Kursi, ‘Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyoom (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists)…’ [al-Baqarah 2:255] until you complete the verse, then you will always have a protector from Allaah, and no devil will come near you until morning comes. So I let him go, and the next morning I told the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) what had happened. The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “He told you the truth, although he is a liar. Do you know who you have been speaking to for three nights, O Abu Hurayrah?” He said: “No.” He said: “That was a devil (a shaytaan).”


    Quote
    Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said in al-Fath: This hadeeth teaches us a number of things… that one of the characteristics of the Shaytaan is lying, and that he may appear in various forms that may be seen, and that the words of Allaah, “Verily, he and Qabeeluhu (his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe) see you from where you cannot see them” [al-A’raaf 7:27], apply to when he is in the form with which he was created.

     

    Or take the form of snakes:

    Quote
    Saheeh Muslim (2236) it is narrated that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “In Madeenah there is a group of the jinn who have become Muslim, so whoever sees any of these creatures (snakes) let him give it a warning three times, then if it appears after that he may kill it, for it is a devil.”


    And the form of birds and dogs:

    Quote
    Abu Tha’labah al-Khushani said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah 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 Abu’l-Shaykh reported it with a saheeh isnaad).

    I don't see anything wrong with the above, but the basic rule (in my book Tongue which nobody has to follow) is to always check on the things you get from IslamQ&A. It's a very extreme Salafi site. And not everybody is Salafi. Smiley

    Can jinn have sex with humans? Can jinn impregnate female humans? Can jinn hurt people? Can jinn engage in a three some with you and your wife?

    :S Why would djinn impregnate women? What? :/

    I eagerly await the answers to these questions, didn't even know most of them were real questions at all. Tongue LOL.

    Do jinn have a religion? Can they become Muslim?

    Jinn do have their own religions and sects just like humans do, but from what I've read I haven't come across anything so far that gives a name for any of their religions, those who aren't muslim amongst the jinn are referred to in the Qu'ran and Hadith as being kaafiroon, and mushrikoon, disbelievers and polytheists. I haven't heard of an atheist jinn yet, but who knows, we might come across one on here some time yet!

    Quote
    “And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies — Shayaateen (devils) among mankind and jinn, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception). If your Lord had so willed, they would not have done it; so leave them alone with their fabrications”

    [al-An’aam 6:112]  



    Quote
    “[Some jinn said:] ‘There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary; we are groups, each having a different way (religious sects, etc.)’” [al-Jinn 72:11]


    And yes, they can become Muslim.

    Quote
    “Say (O Muhammad): ‘It has been revealed to me that a group (from three to ten in number) of jinn listened (to this Qur’aan). They said: “Verily, we have heard a wonderful Recitation (this Qur’aan)!

    It guides to the Right Path, and we have believed therein, and we shall never join (in worship) anything with our Lord (Allaah)”’”

    Of course, please do contribute, I'll have to modify the opening thread to let people know, whatever you know about jinn, please tell us all!

    I know, Islam Q & A is salafi, but they do provide many references that are sahih or Qu'ran and tafsir quotes and quotes from highly respected 'ulema from the history of Islam, so I don't mind using them to get some of my references. Many muslims who aren't salafi wouldn't argue with their views on jinn, as they back it up. Jinn aren't that highly contested in comparison to other controversial topics such as niqab, and one abandoning salaat being murtad, or FGM, of whether the beard is fard or not.

    When it comes to the evil eye however, many muslims who wear amulets for example to ward it off would disagree with their view on it... but we're talking about jinn here, something that isn't gone into alot in Islamic literature but is however the bane and fear of many muslim's existance.

    Many of the things Islam Q & A say on the jinn would be fully agreed upon by say the Tabliqh who lean towards sufism (many of whom despise salafis for the takfeering nature of their black and white world view towards many muslims who don't standardize). So in this regards, I have no problemano in getting information from them on the topic.

    Dear GRB,

    Thank you for your question and openness in bringing us your problems. Seeing as you are fearful of this female jinn haunting you for the rest of your life for child-support, I will lay out for you the things you can do to protect yourself from her and stop her from harrassing her.

    First off, reading ayat al-kursii every night before you go to bed will protect you from her during the night until the morning.

    Quote
    It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Ubayy ibn Ka’b that his father told him that he had a vessel in which he kept dates. He used to check on it and found that the number was decreasing. So he kept guard on it one night and saw a beast that looked like an adolescent boy. He said: “I greeted him with salaams and he returned my greeting, then I asked him, ‘What are you, a jinn or a human?’ He said, ‘A jinn.’ I said to him, ‘Show me your hand.’ So he showed me his hand, and it looked like a dog’s paw with dog’s fur. I said, ‘Do all the jinn look like this?’ He said, ‘I know no one among the jinn who is stronger than I.’ I said, ‘What made you do what you did [i.e., taking the dates]?’ He said, ‘We heard that you are a man who loves charity, and we wanted to have some of your food.’” Ubayy asked him, “What will protect us from you?” He said, “This aayah, Aayat al-Kursiy.” Then the next day he [Ubayy] went to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and told him (about what had happened) and he said, “The evil one spoke the truth.”…


    Quote
    Al-Bukhaari narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: ...the following morning, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, ‘What did your prisoner do last night?’ I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, he claimed that he would teach me some words by which he said Allaah would benefit me, then I let him go.’ He asked, ‘What are they?’ I said, ‘He told me, when you lie down in your bed, recite Aayat al-Kursiy, from the beginning to the end of the aayah, “Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists…” [al-Baraqah 2:255 – interpretation of the meaning]. And he told me, you will have a protector from Allaah and no shaytaan (devil) will come near you until morning comes.’ And they [the Sahaabah] were always keen to do good.’ The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘He indeed told you the truth, although he is a liar. Do you know who you have been speaking with for the past three nights, O Abu Hurayrah?’ I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘That was a shaytaan (a devil).’”


    Also, saying ayat al-kursii will protect you at all times if you say it regularly from having jinn come near you.
    Quote
    “… ‘I was taking food to a very poor family among the jinn.’ So he let him go, and he came back on the second night and then the third night. I said, ‘Did you not promise me that you would not come back? I will not leave you today until I bring you to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).’ He said, ‘Do not do that. If you let me go, I will teach you some words which, if you say them, no one among the jinn, great or small, male or female, will come near you.’ He said, ‘Will you do that?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘What are they?’ He said, ‘“Allaah! Laa ilaaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists…” [al-Baraqah 2:255 – interpretation of the meaning], and recited Aayat al-Kursiy until the end. So he let him go and he went away and did not come back. Abu Hurayrah told the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) about that, and the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him: “Did you not know that before?” This was narrated by al-Nasaa’i from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Ubayd-Allaah from Shu’ayb ibn Harb from Ismaa’eel ibn Muslim from Abu’l-Mutawakkil from Abu Hurayrah.


    And to prevent her from entering your house, you should recite ayat al-kursii when you enter through your front door.
    Quote
    Abu ‘Ubayd said in Kitaab al-Ghareeb: Abu Mu’aawiyah told us, from Abu ‘Aasim al-Qaffi, from al-Shu’bi from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood, who said: “A man from among the humans went out and was met by a man from among the jinn, who said, ‘Will you wrestle with me? If you throw me to the ground I will teach you an aayah which, if you recite it when you enter your house, no shaytaan will enter.’ So he wrestled with him and threw him to the ground. He said, ‘I see that you are very small and your forearms are like the front paws of a dog. Are all the jinn like this, or only you?’ He said, ‘I am strong among them. Let us wrestle again.’ So they wrestled again and the human threw him to the ground. So he (the jinn) said, ‘Recite Aayat al-Kursiy, for no one recites it when he enters his house, but the Shaytaan leaves, farting like a donkey.’” It was said to Ibn Mas’ood, “Was that man ‘Umar?” He said, “Who else could it have been, other than ‘Umar?


    In addition to that, you might like to down load a ring tone onto your phone of a recitation of ayat al-kurssii, or perhaps get it as the wallpaper for the background on your phone, it may give you some added protection.

    Can jinn die? Can they be buried and how long do they live? What happens to them in the hereafter?

    Yes, jinn can and do die, just as humans and animals do.
    Quote
    “Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish.

    And the Face of your Lord full of Majesty and Honour will remain forever”

    [al-Rahmaan 55:26-27]


    Quote
    Ibn Katheer  said:  Here Allaah tells us that all the inhabitants of the earth will perish and die, as will all the inhabitants of heaven, except for whomsoever Allaah wills, and nothing will be left except His Noble Face, for the Lord does not die, rather He is the Ever-Living who will never die.

    (Tafseer al-Qur’aan il-‘Azeem, 4/273)


    Quote
    Al-Bukhaari (7383) and Muslim (2717) narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say, “Allaahumma inni a’oodhu bi ‘izzatika laa ilaaha ill anta an tadillani, anta al-hayyu alladhi laa yamoot wa’l-jinn wa’l-ins yamootoon (O Allaah, I seek refuge in Your glory, there is no god but You, against being led astray, for You are the Ever-Living Who does not die, but the jinn and mankind will die).”


    As with humans, those jinn who are good enough muslims will go to jannah, and those who aren't good enough muslims, or who are mushrikoon or kafiroon, will go to jahannam.

    Quote
    “‘And of us some are Muslims (who have submitted to Allaah, after listening to this Qur’aan), and of us some are Al-Qaasitoon (disbelievers those who have deviated from the Right Path)’. And whosoever has embraced Islam (i.e. has become a Muslim by submitting to Allaah), then such have sought the Right Path.’

    And as for the Qaasitoon (disbelievers who deviated from the Right Path), they shall be firewood for Hell”

    [al-Jinn 72:14-15 ]



    Quote
    “O assembly of jinn and men! If you have power to pass beyond the zones of the heavens and the earth, then pass beyond (them)! But you will never be able to pass them, except with authority (from Allaah)!”

    [al-Rahmaan 55:33]



    As for how long do they live or whether they are buried or not, I am not aware of these matters at this present time, but as soon as I find out will inform you.

    Honestly, I have had conversations with Muslims who had quite a sophisticated education and could speak with great knowledge about philosophy (always slanted towards rendering apologia for Islam but all the same, they had the knowledge), who would then say they had a literal belief in jinns.

    Okay so I've been seeing this jinn called jonny for about 3 months now and we're ready to take it to the next level. He said he wanted to take me to his 'special place' in the sky for our first time, but I have a few concerns about this. What if Allah throws a meteorite at us whilst we're at it? And should we use protection? I mean, I don't want to have a half jinn baby, I'd rather keep my offspring purely human. Wait, was that racist?

    JONNY, DON'T SNEAK UP ON ME LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW I CANT SEE YOU.

    One Way Pendulum took Simpson from Sloane Square into the West End limelight with its picture of a variously obsessed suburban household in which, among several family preoccupations, a son trains a collection of weighing machines to sing the Hallelujah Chorus instead of speaking people’s weight. All except one obey his bidding. It goes on irritably booming: “Fifteen stone, ten pounds”.

    Explaining his motive for all this, the character Kirby Groomkirby says he wants to take the speak-your-weight machines to the North Pole and melt the ice around it. Meanwhile his father, Arthur Groomkirby, is building a do-it-yourself Old Bailey in his living room, only for a judge and jury mysteriously to move in to try him for some unspecified offence.

    I wouldn't mind fathering a djinn baby, but the thing is, whenever I try to lift up djinn babies, they just slip through my arms. There are many djinn babies who've been dropped on their heads because of me, I couldn't raise a baby who might turn out like chepea.

    Thanks for your advise, it worked! I no longer get the calls and all the djinns in the djinnhood are jealous of my cool ring tone. ^_^
