Jinn

Also singular Djinn or Jinnee, plural Djinni or Jineeyeh (Jin and Jinx are other variants). Arabian spirits, perhaps animistic, but more probably accurately mythological like the Persian divs. The word is usually translated as meaning approximately elementals although they are fearsome and frequently portrayed as monstrous demons. It is also likely that the word genii comes from Jinn.

The Jinn were created out of fire, and populated the earth for many thousands of years before Adam and Eve. They were perverse and vicious, and would not reform, although prophets were sent to salvage them. Unrepentant, they were eventually driven from the earth, and took refuge in the outlying islands of the sea.

One of them named Azazel (afterwards called Iblees or Eblis) was carried off as a prisoner by the angels. He then grew up amongst them, and eventually became their chief. But refusing, when commanded by God, to prostrate himself before Adam, he was degraded to the condition of a Sheytβn or Shaitan, and becomes the father of the sheytβns, or devils.

The Jinn are not immortal, but destined ultimately to die. They eat and drink and propagate their species, living in communities, and are ruled over by princes. See Jinnistan.
