[Al-Quran 50:6-8] Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and how it has no rifts? And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind, Giving insight and a reminder for every servant who turns [to Allah].

Jinn


أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطَانَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
وَأَنِ اعْبُدُونِي هَٰذَا صِرَاطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ

Did not I enjoin upon you O Children of Adam! That (do) not worship the Shaitaan, indeed, he (is) for you an enemy clear,
And that you worship Me? This (is) a Path Straight.
[Al-Quran 36:60-61]

The Quran uses the same word for Jinns and Snakes. The Quran also informs us that Iblis (Satan) is a jinn. The following is an effort to understand the warnings in The Quran:

  1. Assalamo Alaikom. I find the subject of the jinns very, very interesting; after all, a whole Qur'anic Chapter (Sura) carries the title Al-Jinn, the jinns. I do not believe in trading knowledge for profit, any kind of profit, so if you wish to receive a PDF file containing the manuscript of Volume One of my book about Allah, just let me hear from you. My email is yasinaljibouri@gmail and my name, you can Google it, is Yasin al-Jibouri. Month of Ramadhan Kareem to you all, Wassalamo Alaikom.
