Jinn have always been a subject of curiosity for people throughout history, with limited knowledge about them further fueling this interest. Some adherents of Islam, as well as certain philosophers, have rejected their existence, while positivist science has approached it with skepticism due to the lack of concrete evidence so far. Based on the available data, we have had to limit our understanding of their history from our own perspective. Ultimately, we observe that Jinn also possess a family structure similar to humans, they are intelligent life forms, and according to verse 56 of Surah Adh-Dhariyat, "I have only created jinn and mankind that they may worship Me," they are subject to the same test and trial as we humans are.

Introduction:

Islamic Mythology: In Islamic culture, jinn are considered as one of the three fundamental entities alongside humans and angels. The Quran mentions jinn and states that they are created by Allah. Jinn are made of fire, unlike humans, and can possess human-like qualities. Some jinn may approach humans in a friendly manner, while others may be malevolent and cause harm. The purpose of jinn's creation is to worship Allah and submit to Him.

Middle Eastern Mythology: In Middle Eastern culture, the origin of jinn is based on various mythological stories. According to some beliefs, jinn do not have a natural form and can often shape-shift. As supernatural beings with extraordinary powers, they can interact with humans and either assist or harm them.

Hindu Mythology: In Hindu mythology, jinn are known as "yaksha" and "rakshasa." Yakshas are considered benevolent supernatural beings, while rakshasas are portrayed as malevolent and harmful. According to this mythology, jinn are created by the Gods to live alongside humans on Earth.

Chinese Mythology: Chinese culture also includes similar entities to jinn. These supernatural beings, known as "jing," are often associated with natural elements and can transform into different forms. Jing can interact with humans and provide them with various forms of assistance.

The depiction of jinn in Christianity and Judaism differs from Islamic and Middle Eastern mythologies. In Christianity and Judaism, the characteristics and roles attributed to entities called jinn are generally limited, and they do not possess as extensive a cultural mythology as found in Islamic beliefs.

Judaism:

Jewish tradition does not assign a distinct place to jinn and they are often referred to as "demons" or "spirits." The Torah, which is the Holy Scripture, does not mention jinn; however, the existence of evil spirits and hostile entities, known as "demons," is believed in. These demons are malevolent creatures attempting to deceive and lead humans into sin. Detailed mythological accounts of jinn are not found in Jewish traditions.

In Christianity:

 

In Christianity, there is not a detailed mythology surrounding supernatural beings like jinn. The Holy Scripture, known as the Bible, includes some narratives about evil spirits and demons. These spirits are often referred to as "demons" or "devils" in the context of the Bible. They are frequently depicted in the stories of Jesus' preaching and miracles. Jesus is portrayed as having the power to cast out demons and heal those afflicted by evil spirits.

Although Christianity and Judaism do not have as extensive a mythology about jinn as seen in Islamic and Middle Eastern beliefs, there are still folkloric stories and local beliefs related to these entities. These beliefs can vary depending on the region and community.

In summary, Christianity and Judaism do not define jinn as prominently as in Islamic and Middle Eastern mythologies. Nevertheless, there are some narratives and beliefs concerning evil spirits and supernatural beings, which may originate from religious texts and folkloric traditions.

In Islam, jinn (or genies) hold a significant place. According to Islamic belief, jinn are one of the three fundamental entities created by Allah, alongside humans and angels. Jinn have a human-like appearance, but they are created from fire, while angels are created from light (nur).

The Quran contains several verses that mention jinn. Regarding the existence of jinn and the creation of the universe, the Quran states:

"Indeed, We created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days, and there touched Us no weariness. So be patient, [O Muhammad], over what they say and exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting, and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied. And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [certain] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring." (Quran, 50:38-43)

Since jinn share a human-like structure, they were created around the same time as humans. However, their existence may not be visibly evident to humans, possibly because they possess the power to harm humans. In Islamic belief, there are both benevolent and malevolent jinn. Muslims pray and seek refuge in Allah to protect themselves from aggressive and malevolent jinn who may harm them.

The purpose of jinn's creation is similar to that of humans, which is to worship and submit to Allah. The Quran mentions that jinn, like humans, will be held accountable for their actions and will be rewarded with either paradise or punishment in hell based on their deeds.

The role and attributes of jinn in Islam are further elaborated in hadiths (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) and other religious texts. Islamic scholars and interpreters (mufassirs) shed light on the information about jinn and provide explanations for better understanding.

The creation and characteristics of jinn can vary depending on geographical regions and cultural beliefs. In this article, we will provide information from the perspective of Muslims about jinn, intelligent life forms like ourselves, for which limited research has been conducted before.

The term "jinn" is of Arabic origin, derived from the word "janna" (جَنَّ) which means hidden or unseen. This word has also been used to refer to a dimension that Allah has promised as a reward after the Day of Judgment. Many other words with a similar root have been used in various contexts. Based on this, we can categorize unknown entities under the term "jinn." For example, we can investigate the category of UFOs and related phenomena, whose existence has not been definitively proven, under this term. However, the primary focus of our article is on the entities mentioned in the Quran, the "jinn," life forms created from fire and its derivatives.

Unfortunately, we cannot find a widely accepted scientific evidence for the existence of jinn. Therefore, we must rely on scriptural evidence regarding their existence. As a result, some Islamic sects, philosophers, and the positivist community are unable to definitively accept the existence of these life forms that we will describe.

We can examine the history of jinn from the perspective of humans in three different periods:

1. From Creation to Azazil's Rebellion in the Tevhit War: During this period, jinn were created, and Azazil, as a jinn, is considered the first being created. The Tevhit War occurred when the jinn refused to prostrate to the first human, Hz. Adem (Adam), as a test of their obedience to Allah.

2. From Azazil's Reign to the Creation of Humans: During this period, Azazil is regarded as the leader and ruler of the jinn. However, with the creation of humans, it is believed that jinn were also created to coexist with humans on Earth.

3. After the Creation of Humans: This period marks the time when humans and jinn began to live together. There might have been various interactions between humans and jinn, and during this period, the relationships and roles of jinn with humans could have varied.

From the perspective of humans, these three periods can form an important basis for understanding and evaluating the history of jinn. However, precise information about the history and characteristics of jinn can only be derived from religious texts and traditions.

The Beginning of Jinn Life

"Ebu Ishak says: Abu Rakk Al-Ikrime, a companion and also known as a commentator of the Quran, narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them):

When the Lord Almighty created the first jinn, whose name was Can (or Sumiy), He said to him, 'Let me know what you desire.' Can replied, 'I wish for us to see, but not be seen. When we die, let us completely vanish under the ground. Let the elderly among us become youthful.'

In the Quran, in Surah Al-Hijr, verse 27, it is stated that We created Can (the father of jinn) from the intensely hot fire (smokeless, highly poisonous). In Surah Ar-Rahman, verse 15, it is mentioned that He created Can (the father of jinn) from a smokeless fire. In Surah Sad, verse 76, "He (Iblis) said, 'You created me from fire, and You created him from clay.'"

Based on the Quran, we observe that high-temperature fire played a significant role in the creation of jinn. However, there have been various interpretations and opinions regarding the material from which this fire was created. Some commentators suggest it was created from the hot wind, which penetrates through the pores (sam yeli), while modern views propose it was created from radiation and light.

In hadiths, it is mentioned:

"While I was performing prayers, Satan approached me, and I choked him until I felt the coldness of his spit in my hands. If it were not for my brother Solomon's supplication, I would have killed him."

"Satans, being enemies of Allah, came to him with a spark of fire, attempting to put it on his face." 4"

"On the night of the Miraj, a jinn in the form of an ifrit (a powerful and rebellious type of jinn) attacked me. He was holding a surah made of fire and was following me. Every time I looked back, I could see him."

Imam Shibli, based on the above hadiths and verses, emphasizes that the primary element of jinn is fire, but for the creation of life, a humid or moist environment is necessary. This can be understood from the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him), 'I felt the coolness of his spit in my mouth.' When they were created, both humidity and fire had an effect on them. Just as our creation from clay does not mean that we will remain as clay, meaning we are not currently like clay. Similarly, jinn are created from elements of fire. If they always remained in a state of fire, there would be no need for the ifrit on the night of Miraj or the fire mentioned regarding the second entity, which is Iblis; they would always remain bright.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Jinn are of three types: some have wings and fly in the air, some appear in the form of dogs and snakes (they possess the forms of these animals), and others take various forms and depart."

In another narration, the Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned: "Jinn are of three types: some are in the form of dogs, snakes, and insects (they assume the forms of these creatures), some are like the wind in the air, and others are accountable and receive reward and punishment due to their perception, will, and consciousness."

Based on the above hadiths, it is evident that jinn are created in three different forms: 1) those with wings that fly, 2) those that appear as dogs and snakes, and 3) those that appear in various forms and live camouflaged in different bodies.

According to the majority of Islamic scholars, the name of the first created jinn is "Cân" (or "Sumiy"). Allah created him and to avoid him being alone, He created a partner for him. However, there is no source available regarding his partner or family. This information has been kept secret, as mentioned in Ahmet Cemil Akıncı's book "Cinler Âlemi" (The World of Jinn). Therefore, just like humans, jinn also possess a dual-gender structure. Their bodies can transform into various forms and they are incredibly fast beings.

1. The Era from Creation to the War of Tevhit with Azazil

It is presumed that Cân was the first prophet sent to the world of jinn. Initially, they lived on Earth, and from the information gathered from various sources, it is inferred that perhaps during their initial creation, the Earth was in its proto-planet stage, with no mountains or seas formed on its surface. Various prophets were sent to them, and Allah commanded them not to deviate from the path of unity (Tevhit). However, with the passage of millions of years, the jinn began to deviate further from the straight path and turned away from the concept of Tevhid (monotheism). They started worshipping various physical forms and even ventured into space. They were the first to reach the moon, where they witnessed certain signs that reaffirmed their belief in Allah. Upon returning to Earth, they shared their experiences with other jinn; some believed in their account, while others did not.

As the Earth cooled, mountains and seas formed, and organic beings like us were created. Due to their elemental nature of fire, the jinn were attracted to hot regions like volcanoes, underground areas, and deserts. They expressed dissatisfaction with the newly formed soil and rocks, and they trampled and despised them with their feet. As land animals, birds, and insects began to appear, those jinn who had once flown through the skies felt sadness and nostalgia for their lost ability. Some of them sacrificed animals and trees to fortune-tellers (kâhins) who deceived them with various promises. The fortune-tellers painted images on caves and rocks to impress them.

During this period, the Earth experienced various natural disasters, and new creations emerged. Despite repeated warnings from the sent prophets, the jinn refused to listen and even killed some of the prophets. One day, one of their prophets informed them that a new intelligent life form would be created from the soil, possessing exceptional qualities and that all beings in the universe would be at its service. However, the jinn, being created from fire, ridiculed the idea that such a being could be made from insignificant clay and questioned why they should obey it. Each prophet repeated the same warning:

"This is your opportunity; have faith in the existence of the new being, and your sins will be forgiven."

Millions of years passed, and the poles began to cool while the equator started to heat up. The jinn's former habitat on the surface of the Earth was gradually diminishing. Wars and massacres emerged, lasting for centuries. These events continued for a full 2000 years.

 

2. From the Reign of Azazil to the Creation of Humans

In Islam, Azazil (also known as Iblis or Satan) is considered one of the jinn, created by Allah. His life and story encompass the period from Creation to the Tevhit war. During this period, Azazil's tale and character involve several significant events:

1. Creation: Azazil is one of the jinn created from fire, predating the creation of humans. Like angels and humans, jinn were created to obey Allah's commands and worship Him.

2. Humility and Ascension: Initially, Azazil resided in paradise and achieved distinction among other jinn. He attained elevation through obedience to Allah and served Him with humility.

3. The Test of Adam and the Jinn: In Islam, when Allah decided to create humans, He tested both angels and jinn regarding these new beings. Allah commanded the jinn to prostrate before Prophet Adam as an expression of obedience and submission. While angels complied, Azazil refused to bow down, becoming the first being to reject the command.

4. Disobedience and Arrogance: By refusing to prostrate, Azazil committed a grave sin and showed arrogance. He began to disregard Allah's commands and followed his own desires.

5. Becoming Known as Iblis: Due to his disobedience, Azazil became known as Iblis or Satan. He incited humans to rebel against Allah and commit evil deeds.

6. Expulsion from Paradise: Iblis's rebellion and arrogance incurred Allah's wrath, leading to his expulsion from paradise. He lost his former exalted status and became a cursed being in Allah's eyes.

The Tevhit war narrates the events that occurred during the test of angels and jinn in paradise. Throughout this period, Iblis continued to defy Allah and persist in his evil deeds. It is considered a significant turning point in Islam, determining Iblis's fate as the moment when his destiny was sealed.

The events during this period and Iblis's character form a major part of the concept of evil in Islamic religious sources, emphasizing the consequences of disobedience and arrogance towards Allah.

One day, a child was born into a family of jinn. His mother, Teblis, and father, Hablis, were overjoyed because the child looked unlike any other jinn. He had the unique ability to take on the most beautiful form of any creature he encountered. His parents named him Iblis.

Iblis possessed both physical and intellectual perfection. Even the warring jinn were eager to see him, and he even captured the attention of angels. Thus, the angels took it upon themselves to nurture and educate him until the time he would embrace faith. As Iblis grew and reached the age of influence, he became a prominent figure in his community. Whenever the jinn faced difficulties, they sought his counsel, and he would judiciously resolve their problems. Because of this, the other jinn bestowed upon him the title of "Hakem," which translates to "arbitrator" in our language.

According to one account, Iblis rebelled against his father, while another says he withdrew to a corner to engage in worship after his most beloved offspring perished. The angels sympathized with his situation and prayed to Allah for his ascension to the heavens due to his sincere worship. Allah accepted their prayers, and Iblis was elevated to the skies, where he continued his worship. Over time, he received various tasks and privileges.

On Earth, many jinn had been destroyed, and the survivors scattered across mountains, hills, and islands. Iblis sought permission from Allah to convey His message to the surviving jinn, and Allah granted him permission. He sent messengers one after another to the scattered jinn, but each of them was killed. Finally, a jinn named Yusuf bin Yasif managed to escape and reach Iblis, explaining the situation to him.

Iblis sought permission from Allah to confront the unbelieving jinn, but he had previously warned the jinn gently to avoid a thousand-year war. Nonetheless, Iblis, along with angelic armies and a few believing jinn, declared war against the disbelieving jinn on Earth. He killed many of them, and those who managed to escape were filled with remorse, but it was too late. The die had been cast.

 

 

3. After the Creation of Humans:

One day, Iblis saw in the Preserved Tablet (Lauh-i Mahfuz) the events concerning the future of humans, including the shedding of blood and mischief they would cause. He shared this knowledge with the angels. When Allah informed the angels of His intention to establish successors on Earth to uphold divine laws and maintain order, the angels expressed their concern. They questioned Allah, saying, "Will You place therein those who will cause corruption and shed blood, while we celebrate Your praise and glorify You?" Allah responded, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

Another narration suggests that Iblis harbored envy toward this new creation from clay, prompting Allah to respond, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

Yet another account describes how Iblis, after winning numerous battles and gaining privileges, developed a sense of self-conceit and arrogance, eventually reaching the point where he claimed divinity for himself.

The first human, Prophet Adam, was created and taught the names of all things. Over time, Prophet Adam taught the names to the angels, elevating his position in the eyes of Allah.

One day, Allah commanded Prophet Adam to ask the angels and jinn to prostrate before him in a show of respect. Allah said, "When I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration." All the angels complied, except Iblis, who refused to prostrate and distanced himself from those who did.

Allah questioned Iblis, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" Iblis replied, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay." Allah declared, "Then descend from it, for it is not for you to be arrogant here. So get out; indeed, you are among the debased."

Following this incident, Iblis requested respite from Allah until the Day of Resurrection. Allah granted his request, but Iblis promised to mislead people on Earth, except for the sincere servants of Allah.

"Iblis said, 'My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected.' Allah said, 'So indeed, you are of those reprieved until the Day of the time well-known.'" Iblis also vowed to tempt and mislead people on Earth, except for the chosen righteous servants of Allah.

After his rebellion against Allah, Iblis devised a plan to mislead and lead humans astray. He made a vow that he would lie in wait for them on the straight path, approach them from all sides, and cause confusion. He declared that he would not find many of them to be grateful to Allah.

Allah responded by instructing Iblis to go and lead astray those who follow him and deceive them with false promises. Allah assured Iblis that their punishment would be Hell, and there would be no help for him over His sincere servants.

Iblis' first act was to deceive Adam and Eve, causing them to be expelled from Paradise. He whispered to them, promising an eternal kingdom and a never-ending life if they ate from the forbidden tree. The shaytan misled them, and when they tasted the fruit, they became aware of their nakedness and covered themselves with the leaves of Paradise.

Allah reproached them, reminding them of His prohibition from that tree, and shaytan's deception. Adam and Eve repented to Allah for their mistake.

The shaytan's deception led to their removal from Paradise, and they became temporary inhabitants of Earth. Allah told them that they would live on Earth for a predetermined time, and from there, they would die and be resurrected.

Iblis's rebellion against Allah resulted in the emergence of a new group among the jinn. The previous division between believers and disbelievers was now supplemented with the emergence of shaytans, creating three distinct groups among the jinn.

 

Additional Information: Known Tribes of Jinn

While it is difficult to estimate the exact number and variety, Jinn live in tribes within their own realms, each possessing different characteristics. The Amir tribe, in particular, thrives in almost every environment where humans reside.

Since Jinn cannot be seen with the naked eye, they can cleverly manipulate humans psychologically. Being exposed to such situations can occur unintentionally through a person's actions or behavior, inadvertently inviting the Jinn. Jinn tend to approach humans, especially during vulnerable moments such as when they are alone or naked, like during baths or in the restroom. They try to communicate with humans through whispers or inner voices, exploiting their weaknesses and vulnerabilities to initiate conflicts. However, even during ablution (ritual washing), Jinn may feel discomfort. As Jinn are created from fire, the water that comes in contact with a person's body during ablution neutralizes the negative energy of the Jinn, providing a spiritual shield for the individual.

Jinn are greatly disturbed by the sound of the call to prayer (adhan), ablution, Quranic verses, prayers, and chapters (surahs). Yet, there are also Muslim Jinn within the realm of Jinn. These Muslim Jinn follow divine commands and do not interact with humans. They peacefully exist in their own realms, fulfilling their religious duties. On the other hand, non-believing Jinn strive to lead humans towards evil actions using any available means. There is a belief that Jinn belong to the same species as Iblis (Satan), which leads to a considerable number of Jinn serving Iblis in causing harm to humans. However, religious principles and obligations also apply to Jinn. Islam declares that both humans and Jinn are created as servants of God. Trustworthy mediums often employ Quranic verses to help rid individuals or environments of these malevolent spirits. They assist people with good intentions.

Jinn can be spiritually powerful and forceful. Achieving successful results in such heavy and difficult cases often requires the expertise of mediums. Since mediums can communicate with Jinn, they can control them and conduct specific readings to compel Jinn to act accordingly, ensuring that they distance themselves from the afflicted individual. Engaging with trustworthy mediums is crucial for more accurate and healthy outcomes. Especially in cases where individuals are under the influence of black magic, they may act involuntarily, losing control of their own will. Sometimes, individuals may not even realize their current state. Those affected by love spells, for instance, may remain unaware of their situation. Such individuals can seek the help of mediums to break free from the effects of the spell.

Jinn are invisible beings, but they can engage in an impactful interaction with humans, seemingly blending with their bloodstream. This invisible and unknown nature poses a challenging situation for humans. Individuals who encounter such situations should seek help from mediums, either by their own will or with the assistance of their surroundings. Mediums possess special abilities that enable them to establish communication with the realm of Jinn, allowing them to clearly discern which Jinn tribe is attempting to cause harm to the person. Understanding the type of Jinn possession correctly facilitates the determination of appropriate prayers and courses of action for the medium.

At times, individuals faced with such conditions may find it difficult to perform ablution or recite Quranic verses. Possession by Jinn can distance a person from religious beliefs and worship. In such circumstances, reliable and well-intentioned mediums can provide assistance to individuals. Through personalized readings or talismans, the medium can aid the person in overcoming the hardship they are experiencing. Mediums should be experienced and knowledgeable in their field, as individuals can only be freed from this spiritual difficulty through specific spiritual readings. It is because Jinn feel discomfort from prayers and worship.

 

Ammar Tribe

It is a tribe formed by atheist Jinn. Therefore, they do not hesitate to possess humans who engage in actions that please the Jinn. Jinn from the Ammar tribe can easily approach humans, as they live in the same environment without being seen, especially when humans are alone.

People are more inclined to engage in actions they wouldn't normally do when they are alone and unclothed. Taking advantage of this, a Jinn from the Ammar tribe can easily approach a person. They are also skilled at observing individuals while they are alone, allowing them to know their weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and launch a spiritual attack on them. However, they find it difficult to approach devout individuals. Even if they coexist in the same environment, they avoid approaching those who are in a state of ablution and engage in prayer. They feel uncomfortable around people who are devout and practicing their faith. The Ammar tribe also lives with humans, especially in the same household. They do not disturb or interact with humans unless specifically summoned.

Jinn from the Ammar tribe also share meals in homes where they feel comfortable. They particularly prefer to reside in environments where sins, such as alcohol consumption, occur. They do not cause disturbance by directly interacting with humans, but they coexist in the same environment. However, in such environments where there is no faith and prayers, they become partners in meals, which negatively affects the abundance of the household according to religious beliefs. If you experience such feelings in your home, seeking help from a trustworthy medium is advised. If your home or yourself are affected by Jinn possession or witchcraft, a medium can end this situation through spiritual readings. In some cases, even if a person does not engage in actions that would invite Jinn, they may still be disturbed if there is a witchcraft spell on them. Therefore, performing ablution, reciting specific verses for daily protection, and maintaining spiritual practices create a protective shield against negative spirits and energies.

 

Betr Tribe

If a person you described as gentle and mild suddenly starts displaying irritable and aggressive behavior without any apparent reason, acts differently, and becomes more intolerant, it is likely that the person is being influenced by the Betr tribe of Jinn. The Betr tribe possesses individuals and manipulates them spiritually. On the other hand, the Demon tribe consists of Jinn with a higher power of persuasion. They are particularly involved in satanic rituals and ceremonies, where they exert their influence. Being strong in persuading, these Jinn are unbelievers and possess humans. When they possess someone, they weaken the person spiritually and psychologically, gradually suppressing their willpower, and direct the person towards different actions according to the Jinn's desires and wishes. In satanic rituals, the Jinn's intention is to make the person feel a strong desire and pleasure in performing evil deeds by whispering to them. The person seems to have surrendered their willpower to the Jinn entity.

 

Hanzap Tribe, Ifrit Tribe

Among the Jinn tribes, one of the most approaching to humans is the Hanzap tribe. The defining characteristic of the Jinn belonging to the Hanzap tribe is their frequent whispering and approaching humans. They especially engage in whispering when an act of kindness is performed or is about to be performed. Additionally, one of the moments when they most intensely whisper is during human's acts of worship. Their aim is to steer people away from goodness and worship, so they approach during moments of positive spiritual feelings and create confusion by planting baseless doubts in people's minds.

The Ifrit tribe of Jinn, on the other hand, is one of the most dangerous tribes. The most significant characteristic of Ifrit Jinn is that they possess human bodies and engage in a battle against humanity using the possessed body. Furthermore, they may engage in sexual relations with the possessed individual.

Being composed of highly irritable and aggressive Jinn, they heavily strain and exhaust the bodies they possess. They also inflict severe mental and psychological strain on the possessed individual. As a tribe of unbelieving Jinn, they are capable of doing anything to lead people towards evil and sinful actions. A person under the possession of these dangerous Jinn tribes can only be freed through the help of an experienced and trustworthy medium in this field. Mediums guide individuals who are under possession or affected by magic, providing information about the prayers to be recited, or teaching them if they are unfamiliar.

 

Marid Tribe

 

The Marid tribe is an incredibly powerful tribe that has led many other tribes. The strength of the tribe indicates that in any given task, a larger number of Jinn can collectively intervene in various events and situations through division of labor. As spiritual beings, Jinn possess the ability to harness the power of this unity, granting them even stronger attributes. Summoning one of the Marid tribe Jinn usually results in fatal consequences because they are not only powerful but also highly dangerous. The Marid tribe Jinn are resentful towards humanity as they were cast out of heaven alongside Satan. Consequently, they engage in conflict with humanity.

 

The Zuzula Tribe

 

As we all know, the Zuzula tribe is considered the most dangerous tribe in the Jinn realm. Mentioned frequently in the movie "Dabbe," they are referred to as "the most dangerous entity after Satan." They are extremely harmful and wild, devoid of any feelings of pity or mercy. The Zuzula tribe can cause numerous disasters and is one of the most challenging tribes to establish contact with. Their interference often results in death. It is claimed that they reside in the city of Metaniza in Tanzania. Additionally, the number 66 symbolizes them.

 

Yakaza Tribe

Also known as "Nightmare," the Yakaza tribe is one of the most dangerous Jinn tribes. They are harmful and do not like humans. They are usually found in filthy environments. Only Prophet Solomon (AS) was able to subdue them.

 

Cühenna Tribe

The Cühenna tribe is the cruelest and most vengeful among the Jinn tribes. They harbor hatred towards humans and are shunned even among other Jinn tribes. They establish communication with evil individuals and assist in witchcraft and sorcery. However, if you fail to comply with their demands after an agreement, they will torment your entire family and loved ones.

 

Nusaybin Tribe

The Nusaybin tribe was the first Jinn tribe to embrace Islam. It is known that they became Muslims by listening to the Quran from the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Though not belonging to the Marid race, they are extremely powerful. According to a weak narration, some believe that the beings we call "aliens" are the Nusaybin Jinn.

 

Kulyas Tribe

Also mentioned in the movie "El-cin," this tribe, like Cühenna, is vengeful and cruel. They are disbelievers and have malicious intentions. They lure the people they possess to their own territory. Apart from prophets, they can easily take on the appearance of any human.

 

Es'ab Tribe

The Es'ab tribe is said to be dangerous. They are usually found in dirty environments and feed on human and animal excrement.

 

Babil Tribe

This tribe takes its name from the ancient city of Babylon, and it is narrated to be one of the most aggressive Jinn tribes. It is known to be the only Jinn tribe capable of affecting human flesh. The movie "Magi" provides detailed information about this tribe.

 

Ümmü Sıbyan Tribe

There is controversy about whether Ümmü Sıbyan is a specific type of Jinn or a tribe, but for the purpose of this context, we will consider it as a tribe. Ümmü Sıbyan translates to "Mother of Children" in Arabic. It is believed to be a dangerous tribe consisting entirely of female Jinns. They afflict pregnant women, trying to cause miscarriages. If the baby is born, they attempt to harm the newborn within the first 1 to 1.5 months of its life. Therefore, some individuals involved in metaphysical fields advise not leaving newborn babies alone. Additionally, they are said to afflict women during their postpartum period and teenage girls during menstruation.

 

The Kingdom of Bermuda Devils

 

They were once naturally engaged in scientific and technological studies, inventing many technological devices. They are occasionally mentioned to have lived among humans in some of our works. For instance, it is said that they taught humans the art of making glassware.

Between 970 and 928 BC, they served under the command of King Solomon, who was the third ruler of Israel and a Prophet in Islam, and a pious ruler among the Jews. According to sources, they assisted in bringing the throne of Sheba Queen Bilqis, one of the powerful empresses of her time, from Yemen to King Solomon's palace in Jerusalem with the help of Jinns. They charmed and captivated Bilqis to bring her to King Solomon.

It is also said that during the construction of the Masjid al-Aqsa in present-day Jerusalem, they also contributed to the work.

However, in today's materialist scientific world, the existence of a Jinn race has not been discovered, but they have found a place in religions and mythologies.

According to some sources, they had advanced technology to such an extent that they successfully manipulated space and time, reaching the universe where Heaven is believed to exist in religious beliefs. Once, using their advanced craft, they arrived at the gates of Heaven. However, some of these highly advanced Jinns succumbed to arrogance and a sense of superiority, and they attempted to rebel against Allah, saying, "Look, we have come all the way to the gates of Heaven, who are you to stop us?"

Allah defeated them due to their arrogance and rebellion. He sent the craft they created to the location of today's Bermuda Triangle on Earth.

When the fallen angel, Iblis, was also condemned due to his arrogance and arrived on Earth, he settled in Bermuda and established his own kingdom, living there with other devils.

Like himself, he captured all living creatures entering his kingdom and directed them towards the location of the craft, where their fate remains unknown. They might have ended up in a far corner of the universe, another world, a star, or a galaxy.

Thus, the craft is still operating and perhaps still in use. It is difficult to know for sure.

I must emphasize that this tale I have told you is not based on definite accounts and has no religious, mythological, or scientific validity. However, if researched and analyzed, its truth or falsehood may be revealed.

Additionally, it should be noted that this narrative should not be perceived as an opposition to science or technology. Science and technology should always be supported, developed, and advanced.

As stated by the great statesman, scholar, and intellectual Hz. Ali bin Abi Talib and confirmed by the esteemed leader Atatürk, with a message for all humanity:

"The truest guide in life is knowledge."

 

 

Conclusion

 

In this article, we have primarily relied on works written by Imam Shibli and Firdevsi. However, from these works, we understand that Jinns are beings that bear significant resemblance to humans in terms of intelligence and way of living. The information about Jinns, taken from various sources, including Israelite stories, which are used as sources of information in Islamic sciences to varying degrees of positivity or negativity, as well as the misinformation provided by some Jinns during their interactions with certain individuals, makes it challenging for us to obtain reliable information about them. Therefore, due to the lack of extensive and trustworthy sources on Jinns, and the contradictory nature of the available information, the most reliable sources we refer to are the Quran and Hadith.

Based on the narratives we have obtained, we know that the number of Jinns in this world is greater than that of humans. Consequently, it is difficult for us to estimate the exact number of races, types, and tribes they may have in their realm. Thus, we are compelled to categorize the history of Jinns from the perspective of humans.

In conclusion, while our knowledge about Jinns is limited and often influenced by various sources, the Quran and Hadith remain the most trustworthy and authentic references to understand these mysterious beings.
