Types of Djinns

In Islamic belief, jinn (also spelled djinn) are supernatural creatures created from smokeless fire before the creation of humanity. They are mentioned in the Quran and are believed to inhabit an invisible world parallel to that of humans. Here are some types of jinn:

• Marid: Strong and powerful jinn, believed to be the most powerful type.

• Ifrit: Powerful and evil jinn, known for their cruelty and brutality.

• Shaitan: Evil jinn, considered the enemies of God and humanity.

• Jann: Weak and vulnerable jinn.

• Ghoul: Jinn that roam in graveyards and feed on human flesh.

• Qareen: Jinn that are believed to be a person's companion and friend, but can also be evil.

• Hinn: Friendly and benevolent jinn.

• Nasnas: A type of jinn believed to be half-human and half-jinn.

• Shiqq: A type of jinn believed to be created from the smoke of fire.

• Jabbar: Powerful jinn, believed to have control over other jinn.

It's important to note that these classifications are not universally agreed upon and may vary depending on the cultural and religious context. In Islamic belief, jinn are considered to be beings that can choose to believe or disbelieve in God, just like humans.
