While arguing (so called discussions) in another thread UTD raised a point - we all kept talking if this earthquake in Pakistan was a ‘punishment’ for our (human) sins, UTD wondered whether it could’ve been a punishment for jinns and humans suffered collateral damage.
My response was that jinns are not ‘physical’, what I meant was that they are not “solids” or “liquid”… rather gaseous (hint: made from fire).
Along came PakistaniAbroad and said that they are “physical”, I’m not too sure what he exactly meant but didn’t want to derail the other thread. Sometime ago an Ahmadi/Qadiani guppy mentioned that jinns could possibly be micro-organism, but I don’t know if he was presenting Ahmadi/Qadiani view or was it his personal view.
My understanding is that jinns are made from fire (probably “using” fire) because Allah swt in Quran mentioned the words of Iblees/Shaitan when he refused to bow to Hazrat Adam AS which mean that Shaitan/Iblees is made from fire and he used to be a normal jinn long before he was asked to bow…
Lets hear what is your “understanding” of the creature: jinn and basis of your knowledge.
PS: Please refrain from any sect/group bashing, your views if backed by a reference from Quran/Hadith will be appreciated.
i dont wanna say that i dont believe in jinns just cuz i've never seen them but i really havent, all i've heard is stories of them interacting with someone's friends dad or someone's mom's sister's daughter's friend. also according to islamic beliefs, what is the purpose of jinn's existence and how does this purpose relate to humans and the fact that we cant "usually" see them but are required to believe in their existence per quranic ayahs.
About jinns, I dont know. All I know is that I saw some weird creature which changed its’ form into different things (large, small, white smoke like stuff, invisible). I thought it was a jinn cz that’s the only weird creature we’ve heard about on earth. What else could it be?
Crescent, thanks for your link but it was targetted for “cafe” audience it contains lots of comedy comments, it would be nice if you can paste here without any funny/comedy in it. Thanks though :k:
Not less than 5 times I have repeated the whole story over and over again on gupshup in different threads. Please search the history naa
In short, I saw a weird creature which I think was jinn. What else could it be? Not spirit of some dead man, right? I also saw ‘reflections’ of three small kids. ‘Reflection’ cz it was dark and those ‘things’ running around over the place were the size of 4/5 year old kids. So… I dont know what those were. I was not scared then but when I woke up in the morning, for six months I could not gather the courage to go alone to the terrace. And and and… whenever I go home, I make sure to take someone with me upstairs. I just cant stand alone in the silence of that bedroom which was supposed to be mine. And it was not an old house. I mean you would think these strange things happen in the old houses but it was not an old house.
^ Okay now this is strange. I tried to search the history of all the posts by me but I only see some recent posts but not all. So, where has the history of my posts disappeared? How can I find it? I think this post of mine belongs in feedback but should I open a new thread in feedback for this?
Never seen one, but from all I have heard all my life, I understand that their appearance can change from human like to shaitan like. I guess they could take any form. In most cases it seems like people talk to them but when they are talking to them , I dont see anything. Kinda seems crazy.
The only experience I had and it was vouched by my grandmother, who since has passed away was a the apperance of an old man all white and white beard with Tasbeeh in his hand. It scared me but did me no harm. So in my mind, when I think of a Jinn, thats the physical appearnace I give it.
I swear I tried typing. I had just wrote one para and it got too irritating cz it is the same old stuff I’ve typed before. Let them answer me in the feedback. I’ll provide you the links.
As far as I know they are another race. There are bad ones and good ones just like there are bad humans and good humans. Thay worship Allah. They will go to heaven or hell. They have families. They live in our houses. We just cant see them. They are another race. Jinns.
