Here is a summary of questions and answers on the world of Djinns based on the holly quran verses, you can also watch this video in french.
2. Can we see them?
No, but they see us:
Chapter 7 Al Aaraf / The Elevations
27. O Children of Adam! Do not let Satan seduce you, as he drove your parents
out of the Garden, stripping them of their garments, to show them their
nakedness. He sees you, him and his clan,
from where you cannot see them. We have made the devils friends of
those who do not believe.
3. What were the jinns created from:
Fiery
Chapter 55 / Arrahmane / The Compassionnate
14. He created man from hard clay, like bricks.
15. And
created the jinn from a fusion of fire.
16. So which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?
While angels are made of Light
Men are made of clay
4. Jinns are males and females
Hadith of the prophet Mohamed PBSL "O Allah I ask you to protect me from male
and female demons"
They get married and have descendants:
Chapter 55 / Arrahmane / The Compassionnate
56. In them are maidens restraining
their glances, untouched before by any man or jinn.
57. So
which of your Lord’s marvels will you deny?
They can have descendants:
Chapter 18 / Al Kahf / The Cave
50. We said to the
angels, “Bow down to Adam.” So they bowed down, except for Satan. He was of the
jinn, and he defied the command of his Lord. Will you take him and his offspring as lords instead of
Me, when they are an enemy to you? Evil is the exchange for the
wrongdoers.
5. Do the jinn eat and drink?Yes they eat what we eat, each person must say Bismillah when entering his home, because in this way he prevents demons from entering his home and likewise he must say bismillah while having breakfast to avoid sharing his meal with demons.
6. What do jinns look like?
God only knows: what we know is that they have hearts.
Chapter 7 Al Aaraf / The Elevations
They see :
Chapter 7 Al Aaraf / The Elevations
They hear :Chapter 72 Al Jinn / The Jinn1. Say, “It was revealed to me that a band of jinn listened in, and said, ‘We have heard a wondrous Quran.7. Do the jinn have a religion?Yes, can have a religionChapter Adh Dhariat / The Spreaders56. I did not create the jinn and the humans except to worship Me.8. Will the disbelieving jinn enter hell?Yes,
Chapter 7 Al Aaraf / The Elevations
179. We have destined for Hell multitudes of jinn and humans. They have hearts with which they do not understand. They have eyes with which they do not see. They have ears with which they do not hear. These are like cattle. In fact, they are further astray. These are the heedless.9. Were there any jinn prophets?
Divergence between scholars: · Yes for some who refer to this verse:130. “O assembly of jinn and humans, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My revelations, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?” They will say, “We testify against ourselves.” The life of the world seduced them. They will testify against themselves that they were disbelievers.
2nd opinion· No they did not have any prophets and refer to this verse:
Chapter 57 Al Hadid / Iron26. We sent Noah and Abraham, and established in their line Prophethood and the Scripture. Some of them are guided, but many of them are sinners.10. Do they know the invisible, the unknown
No, the proof is the story of Prophet Suleyman's death:
Chapter 34 Sheba / Saba
14. Then, when We
decreed death for him, nothing indicated his death to them except an earthworm
eating at his staff. Then, when he fell down, it became clear to the sprites
that, had they known the unseen, they would not have remained in the demeaning
torment.
