Jinni

Overview

The Jinn are an islamic view of the demons , as told in Christianity.

The difference

Christianity Islam

-Demons are fallen angels that disobeyed god - Demons are creations with free will, and angels in islam cannot disobey god

Practically, Jinns are sentient creatures that existed before humans. Jinns can come in practically many different shapes and sizes. Many notable jinns have personalities of Human beings.

Jinns are made out of fire, but in the quran, it states that all life was made from water, so not only fire, but also water was needed to create jinns. The idea of jinns being made out of fire is hard to understand. It's also states in the Quran that in Hell, there will be no light ,but instead fire, another idea implying the "fire" the Quran talks about, isn't the light "flare" we see among the flames of the fire. Since it's not clearly known about how the fire is, it's possible for the materials of a jinn fo condence into solid objects. It's also possible that Jinns too are made up of DNA, but it would be unlikely since they come from another dimension which has different laws of physics, thus the periodic table of elements in that universe would be different. Maybe Jinns go under a conversion of elements when moving into this universe, the same way how people convert a Windows program to a iMAC program, or an appple computer to use. The other universes with different laws of physics may have equivalents to the things that appear in this universe, like the mind of a human would be equivalent to the mind of a jinn, then water in this universe may have it's counter part in the other universe.

Jinns are usually low density beings, made out off very light material, so light that humans can't see them and if they tried to touch the jins, their hands would go through them. So Jinns are practicly born ghosts and not ghosts of dead people,(In islam, it's stated that establishing connections with the souls of the diseased is Haram) making the Jinns phantom beings. It's also stated that Jinns also reside in other realms (implying the idea of a multiverse),and both in a low density state and in another realm, Jinns have been noted to have the ability to see humans.

Age
The age of a Jinn is extraoridinary long, infact they're probably immortal (until as proposed all the men and jinn would die on judgement day). It's unclear how old a jinn becomes to reach a certain stage in life. Some sources say a Jinn infant is 200 years old, while others say an infant is a 1000 years old, an equivalent to a human infant about the age of 4 months or so. If so, it's possible the Jinns physological development is slow as well, meaning if they're infants for 1000 years, they'll have a mind of an infant for a 1000 years. It's possible , the lives of some Jinns is so long and slow, it would be as long as the macro-evolution line of an animal species on earth.

Are Jinns Extra-terrestrials in the view of Islam?

There are many theories concerning if many extra-terrestrials we know about today , with human like personalities are jinns and indeed there are some relationships. The Jinns are notable to show many relationships with reptilians, proving the idea that reptilians are in fact among the jinns. Such evidence from islamic sources and conspiracy theorist sources includes :

Shape shifting ability of both Jinns and Reptilains

Jinns and Reptilians being described as malevolent in many and balevolent in few

Jinns and Reptilians being said to have come from a different dimension

Jinns and Reptilians being trying to lure humans to worship them , by showing humans their super powers

Jinns and Reptilians can possess humans

The only difference being , reptillians are always reptillians in their true form, while many jinns would in supposedly lack a true form, being a cloud of gas, possibly being their true form, though ultimately, Reptilians would be a notable subclass of jinns and neccasirily, not all jinns would have to be repitlians. It's also possible that Pledians and Grays could a kind of jinn, however the very bright nature of Pliedians would make them more likely to be angels, as they class themselves to be fallowers of light. Grays could also be a branch of angels angels due to both the islamic angel and modern gray are genderless,are cloned to reproduce and appear to be a race to serve another, rather than an independant race pursuing their own desires. There are also some aspects gray's possess which is evidence if they have free-will, which would be the possiblity of them falling under the jinn category.

Without the multiverse, not all Jinns would neccesarily be extra-terrestrial, for example, Jinns native to planet earth would not be considered extra-terrestrial, although their multiverse habitat may make them to be considered as extra-terrestrials.

Notable Jinns

Iblis/ Satan/ Lucifer - A Jinn that once served god but later went againts god by not bowing down the Adam. In the mainstraem Christian sources,Satan was an angel, and virtually all sentient residents of god's kingdom were angels before the humans. In mainstream christianity, after Satan became a fallen angel, so did his fallowers, which implies, all demons are fallen angels and all demons are supposed to be bad, contrary to islam meaning jinns were always jinns and you can find good jinns and bad jinns.

note:- Alien abduction of humans have sometimes been linked with the victims recieving vague images of a satanic being.

- The Incubus and Succubus are demons that come and mate with humans, this could be a connection to real life abduction of humans for their sperm and eggs.

Beings theorized as Jinns

Hindu gods - Hindu god's have been known to have many powerful abilities. The whole pantheon is in some hindu sects, is lead by a supreme leader called Baghwan (who could possibly be the Abrahmic god, though in the hindu version, Baghwann has 3 phrases similar to that in the christian trinity). Krishna, was known to impress his fallower by giving his fallower great illusions which caused his fallower to worship krishna. There are also some hindu god's such as Agni, the god of fire which lead the aryan migration into india.
The Greek Pantheon - Some people (including Greek ulta nationalists), have assumed once that the god's of ancient greece were not gods like the Abrahamic god, but instead , extra-terrestrial beings that came to ancient greece in UFO's from a distant planet to teach the greeks how to live civilization. The god, the Greek pantheon believed in was known as the god with unknown attributes as theorized by Aristotle, and that the Pantheon may have not wanted to be worshiped, though the Greeks worshiped the 12 gods in their own burden, or tempted by evil spirits such as the Notorious Diyonosis. The Characteristics of the Greek pantheon, according to their myths displays the greek gods to have features that become bizaare, such as athena being born from zeus's head, which isn't possible if the greek gods were composed of dense material, since such a thing would cause death. Like as told about Jinns, the greek pantheon are able to shapeshift, such as Zeus, turning into a white bird to impress Hera.

Virtually many religions that are animists, even worshiping the dead, has to associate with Jinns. In some animist religions, people would worship celestial objects in outer space.
