Imam Ali Conquers Jinn, unknown artist, Ahsan-ol-Kobar (1568)Golestan Palace
Jinn (Arabic: Ø§Ù„جن‎‎, al-jinn), also romanizedas djinn or anglicized as genies (with the more broad meaning of demons),[1] aresupernatural creatures in early Arabian and later Islamic mythology and theology. An individual member of the jinn is known as ajinni, djinni, or genie (الجني, al-jinnÄ«). They are mentioned frequently in the Quran (the 72nd sura is titled SÅ«rat al-Jinn) and other Islamic texts. The Quran says that the jinnwere created from a smokeless and "scorching fire",[2] but are also physical in nature, being able to interact in a tactile manner with people and objects and likewise be acted upon. The jinn, humans, and angels make up the three knownsapient creations of God. Like human beings, the jinn can be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent and hence have free will like humans.[3] The shaytan jinn are akin to demons in Christian tradition, but the jinnare not angels and the Quran draws a clear distinction between the two creations. The Quran states in SÅ«rat al-Kahf (The Cave),Ayah 50,[4] that Iblis (Azazel) is one of thejinn.
