The key points

Who the jinn are — the sober, scriptural picture

  • Both halves matter. Revelation settles that they exist; it does not follow that they are behind any given symptom. Keeping the two questions apart is what this whole course is built on.

A working definition

  • Everything in the left column is in the definition. Everything in the right column is something the definition rules out, and each one is a live misunderstanding, held by different people for opposite reasons.

What they are created from

  • The hadith in Muslim 2996 names all three: angels from light, jinn from a smokeless flame of fire, and Adam from that which has been described — clay. Three creations, one Creator, and only one of the three is hidden from our eyes.
