what are jinns

Jinn, an intriguing being that has appeared in all kinds of Islamic literature from the Koran to The Arabian Nights, is thought of as an invisible creature created out of “smokeless fire.” They reside in the same world or universe with humans only living in a different region or dimension.

Jinn are free, with all the varieties in quality and moral inclination that implies. Their depiction is diverse indeed, ranging from sly and insidious to downright monstrous. But contemporary works like The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud, or Neil Gaiman's American Gods, give jinns a totally fresh take.

According to Islamic belief, the jinn are supernatural creatures This is because they have a lot more free will and morality than humans presently do. And just as the audience was firmly in the Aladdin corner, they again learn to love when the musical genie busts some groovy moves. These unseen entities and can be either beneficence or maleficence in folk culture.

Jinns are fascinating invisible entities from Islamic tradition, believed to have their own societies, cultures, and even religions. They are the center of a ton of awesome stories and even appear in some of my favorite novels, like 'Alif the Unseen'.

If you've heard of 'Aladdin', then you'd be familiar with the Genie, a type of jinn. They are beings from Islamic folklore, made of 'smokeless fire'. They're free-willed, invisible and can be good, bad, or neutral.

Jinns are supernatural entities from Islamic theology, made of a 'smokeless flame'. They're usually invisible to us, having their own societies and cultures. Some can even take different forms! They remind me of characters in 'The Golem and the Jinni'.
