The Jinns, also known as djinns, are a broad type of supernatural creatures that have existed in folklore before Islamic time

jinni, plural jinn, also called genie, Arabic jinnī, in Arabic mythology, a supernatural spirit below the level of angels and devils.

In every instance the Jinn can appear with widely different looks, different skin colours such as red, blue, and black are common.

Some have sharp teeth and/or claws. Others have hair, while some don't. Many can and do make use of clothing & items.

Origin and Beliefs in Islam In Islam, jinn are real entities, distinct from humans and angels. According to the Qur'an, they were created by Allah from "smokeless fire" (Qur'an 55:15), while humans were made from clay.

What can a jinn look like?

Although usually invisible, jinn are supposed to be composed of thin and subtle bodies (Arabic: أَجْسَام, romanized: ajsām), and can change at will. They favor a cockroach or a snake form, but can also choose to appear as scorpions, lizards, or humans.

• Ghūl (treacherous spirits of changing shape),
• ifrīt (diabolic, evil spirits),
• siʿlā (treacherous spirits of invariable form) constitute classes of jinn.

What are the 3 types of jinn?

The appearance of jinn can be divided into three major categories:

• zoomorphic.
• storms and shadows.
• anthropomorphic.

What colors are genies?

Like the late Robin Williams-animated incarnation before him, Will Smith promised that his genie in the Guy Ritchie live-action remake of Disney's Aladdin would be blue. And, as revealed to the world in the movie's latest trailer, Smith's version of the fast-talking genie with a heart of gold is

undeniably blue. Aladdin's Genie exists in a gaseous state and that's why, the molecules of the gas scatter shorter wavelengths of light too, making the giant appear blue.

Is the Genie black?

[Aladdin] Genie is black (African origin) because he was originally a person tens of thousands of years ago before he became a genie and tens of thousands of years ago, all humans still lived in Africa.

Why is the Genie blue?

Long wavelengths, such as red, scatter less. The result is that to us the sky looks blue. If the genie were a gassy giant, Prum explains, the molecules in that gas would scatter short wavelengths of light and make the genie appear blue.

According to some Islamic traditions, jinn are distinguished by colours. In Syria, the tradition holds that the king of the jinn is red in colour.

Ernst Zbinden finds 'a very charming correspondence between old and new perceptions' in the notion that the most evil jinn are coloured red.

Jinn are beings of flame or air who are capable of assuming human or animal form and are said to dwell in all conceivable inanimate objects—stones, trees, ruins—underneath the earth, in the air, and in fire.

One of the easiest ways to tell aside from everyone's breaker comments is a jinn's speed test. Jinn's lose line-of-sight speed increases faster than other ghosts. Other ghosts that have line-of-sight speed increases take a really long time for that speed increase to wind down. Jinn's are nearly like on or off.

The Bible holds that God created angels and then made man in his own image. One angel, Azazel, was too prideful and refused God's command. As punishment, his form was changed to that of a jinn, and he was renamed Iblis.

Iblis became the leader of the jinn, and he is associated with the devil in Christian belief.

The Koran states that Allah fashioned angels from light and then made jinn from smokeless fire. Man was formed later, out of clay.

Growing up in a Muslim household, stories of various types of jinns have followed us into daily life. However, a lot of the time, the stories get a bit mixed up and over cross. We tend to classify all supernatural activity as jinns which are not entirely true. Besides, a Jinn isn’t just one monotone being, but rather a species’ name, so to say. Much like humans, many types of jinns come in all shapes, forms, and abilities.

The Jinns, also known as djinns, are a broad type of supernatural creatures that have existed in folklore before Islamic times. Many cross-culture similarities have also been found in stories. With the help of the Quran and Hadith, we finally understand what they exactly are. Jinns exist side by side with humans in a separate dimension that is invisible to the human eye, though the jinn can frequent between the two. They take many different shapes and forms and have other names and types. Today, let’s discuss some of the most prominent ones.

Jinn, also romanized as djinn or anglicized as genies, are supernatural creatures in early Arabian and later Islamic mythology and theology. An individual member of the jinn is known as a jinni, djinni, or genie. They are mentioned frequently in the Quran (the 72nd sura is titled Sūrat al-Jinn) and other Islamic texts and inhabit an unseen world, another universe beyond the known universe. The Quran says that the jinn are made of a smokeless and 'scorching fire', 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 known sapient creations of God. Like human beings, the jinn can be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent and hence have free will like humans.

1. Marid: Perhaps the most popular type of jinn is the Marid. The Marid (translated as ‘rebellious’) is widely regarded as the most dangerous and evil type of jinn. They are incredibly powerful and thought to be the favored troops of Iblis. Marid are proud and arrogant and, thus, are easily manipulated into doing one’s chores for them. They have appeared widely in pre-Islamic lore and even got integrated into western folklore in the form of ‘genies.’

2. Ifrits: Ifrits are infernal creatures believed to be gigantic and winged. They exist in tribalistic social structures ruled over by kings and leaders. Ifrits are usually considered evil, but according to most folklore, they have free will to choose faiths and actions.

3. Ghuls: Ghul, or the anglicized ‘Ghoul,’ is a type of ferocious jinn that feats on human corpses and blood. They are cannibalistic, shape-shifting creatures that lure unsuspecting travelers and children and eat them. Ghuls mostly reside in graveyards, where they steal corpses to feast on.

The Ghul can shape-shift into animals, especially a hyena, that typically coaxes travelers into forests or quiet areas to trap and eat them. They can also assume the forms of humans to trick children into following them. Female ghuls, known as ghouleh, also take the form of beautiful women in deserts and graveyards to lure unsuspecting men. However, you can easily tell them apart due to their donkey legs.

4. Si’Lat: The Si’lat is a malicious shapeshifter jinn that takes on the form of animals and humans so well that it is practically indistinguishable. As one of the smartest and most powerful types of jinn, the Si’lat is also the most dangerous. Found usually as a female, the Si’lat tends to take on the form of a beautiful woman and seduces and marries men. It is also able to procreate with humans, creating hybrid children.

The Si’lat also goes by many other names like the succubus or the European ‘hag’. Across all myths, it usually tends to take on the form of an evil seductress. However, that is not always the case. Si’lat can also be male and appear as a man. Something that both forms have in common, though, is the ability to appear as an animal and malicious intent.

5. Jann: The Jann is one of the most interesting types of jinn. According to folklore, Jann are the predecessor of jinn and ruled over the earth about 2000 years before the creation of man. The king, Jann ibn Jann ruled over the world inhabited by jinns. However, the king had offended God, and so Ibn-Harith (Iblis before his fall from grace) went down to earth with an army of angels to challenge the King. Rather than submitting, Jann ibn Jann chose to fight and was consequently defeated, leaving the world to be taken over by angels.

There is the bright red, representing the spiritual awakening of Moses as he is visited by God. There is also the blue to symbolize the hope and faith Moses had in God. Finally, there is brown, which symbolizes the earth and God's connection to man.

We again see two prominent colors in Christian art: Blue and red.

Is red color haram in Islam?

Red: It was reported that wearing pure red is forbidden for men, but not for women, because of the hadeeth of Ibn 'Umar: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade mafdam” (reported by Imaam Ahmad and Ibn Maajah, 3591). Mafdam is something that is filled with red safflower dye.

What are the colors of the jinn?

Jinns usually have red, hardened skin that can develop scales across their limbs. Horns sometimes adorn their heads that grow in various straight or curled shapes, whilst their eyes are often bright orange, red, or brown. Their hair colours ranged from brown to black, with some going white in old age.

They are generally considered to be foreign in origin, perhaps introduced into Japan from China along with Buddhism.

Moreover, in surah Al- Kahf: 50, it has been stated that Iblis belonged to the jinn. In Surah Al-Araf: 27,, it has been stated in clear words that the jinn see the human beings but the human beings do not see them.

Most of the time, jinn are believed not to interfere with humans and live mostly in desolate or abandoned places. This is, for example, evident from the Turkish phrase İn Cin top oynuyor.
