The jinn (or djinn or genies) are mentioned in Arabian mythology, invisible spirits made of fire and air. The jinn can exist in various forms, including animals and humans.
They have a free will and choose to follow God or not. Belief in jinn was common in pre-Islamic Arabia.
The Quran and Islamic teaching condemns the worship or the seeking of the jinn for help or guidance. Some jinn can have romantic relationships with humans and produce offspring.
The jinn share some similarities with fallen angels of the Biblical Christian tradition, but are not the same. Fallen angels were once angels of God but chose to rebel and become evil and use their powers for evil.
The jinn are believed to be created from smokeless fire according to Islamic tradition. The jinn possess a free will and can be good or evil, and can influence or even possess humans.
The jinn are not angels and live among humans, according to Islamic teaching.
