@Mr.Popat

Jinns cannot harm you. One should not be afraid of them. Such a creature do exist as mentioned in Quran. However, it is not encouraged to speculate about them to which we have no knowledge of. One can also see humans as jinns. Allah says that he created humans and jinns to worship him. Now, one can also think of people who do not pray and follow allah’s commandments as jinns, and see it as them having hearts of fire ( as if when something is burned in fire, it usually gets in dark color ) .. you can relate other verses or beliefs with this concept.. i.e : it is said that those whom Allah guides, none can misguide them, and those whom allah misguide, none can guide.. or the verse from surah al-baqarah where Allah says… in their heart was a disease , and allah increased their disease.. or verse 130 from chapter 6 which says : " O company of Jinn and men! did not Messengers come to you from among yourselves who related to you My Signs and who warned you of the meeting of this your day?’ They will say, ‘We bear witness against ourselves.’ And the worldly life deceived them. And they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers."

Allah referred as jinn and men. I dont think any prophet was sent for jinns? so i guess, in that sense, people who reject messengers can be called jinns.. though other form of creature called jinn must be there as well..

though, this is just my own understanding. I could be wrong. You are more than welcome not to agree.

Hmm I agree with you except for the part where you say there werent prophets for Jinn. First of all we know that Prophet Sulaiman (Peace be upon him) specifically came to guide Jinn and take control over them and inherit the kingdom of his father. He came in an era when black majic was at it’s peak and who were the cause? the Jinn. So one can say that he came for Jinn. Other than that you never know, there might be Jinn Prophets. Its not neccassary that humans have to be prophets right? or maybe im wrong, but Allah in that verse is addressing the Jinns and Mankinds, and if there were people who had messangers and there were people from mankind who rejected messengers, then since Jinns are mentioned along wiht mankind, it HAS to mean that there were Jinn who had messangers and there were Jin whor ejected messengers PROBLEM SOLVED lol, no but seriously I mean it, may be I’m wrong though. Other than that calling a human a Jinn is wrong, because ‘Jinn’ is specifically used for those creatures, rejectors can be called KAFIRS but not Jinn. As there are Muslim humans and Kafirs humans there are Muslim Jinns and? Of course, Kafir Jinns. PROBLEM SOLVED AGAIN lol. Other than that one can say that since Prophet Muhammad (Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was ‘KhatimulAmbiya’ and since he was ‘RahmatullilAalameen’. He was the Prophet of Alameen, then you have to know that Aalameen contains Mankind, Jinn and all other creatures. And we know that his message reached the Jinn because Allah mentioned that their mesage reached, I dont know whether in Surah Jinn or Surah Ahqaf, and it is also mentioned in Sahih Muslim I think.
