Re: Discussion on jins, ghosts, spirits and angles
- Angels were created with Light ( Noor)
- Jinns were created with Fire (smokeless fire)
- Humans were created with earth soils, ordered by Allah swt, to the angels to go gather handful of soils from each and every corner of the earth. ( and the reason we have diff skin colors)
In my humble opinion Spirits are diff than the Jinns, Spirit belongs to the Human, Our bodies are a loaner to our Spirits. on The Day of Judgement it will be our Spirit that will be Judged, and the body parts will verify the good deeds and the bad deeds for us. It is the Spirit that resides in the Alam-e-Barzakh, the body stays in the grave and eventaully becomes part of the soil.
Christianity does speak of the Jinns often, and they refer to them as the "Djinn", and is not a significant being in their religion ( observed while talking to diff church ppl and missionaries) Christians do know of Prophet Sulaiman (pbuh) being a ruler , but do not exactly know that Prophet Sulaiman (pbuh) was the ruler over the Jinns. Jinns are 2 dimensional and thus are not visible to Human eyes, (humans are 3 dimensional)
On the day of Judgement all will be Judged, The Humans, the Jinns and the Animals. ( Insaan, Jinn & Haivan respectively for transgressing thier limits....as quoted in shaikh Awalaki's lecture of "The Day of Judgement.)
"...and Allah swt knows best , cause he is all The All knower. "
