The Word Jinn In Arabic Comes From A Root Word Jim Noon Nun (Jann) Which
Means Something That Is Hidden.
So, Anything That Will Have Jim Noon Noon Known Will Be To Do With
A Hidden Element.
So You'Ve Got For Example, Jannah,
Jannah Is Hidden From The Eye. No Eye Had Seen Jannah. That'S Why
It'S Called Jannah, It'S Called Jim Noon Noon That You Got Junoon Which Is Madness
Now When A Person Is Mad, You Don'T See Their Madness. So It Is
Hidden Within Their Own Mind.
So Therefore It'S Called Again Jim Noon Noon Within That And Anything
That Has That You Will Find That It Has That Element Of Hiddenness
In It.
Allah Has Given Many Different Ayats' Regarding Regarding
That Hiddenness And In One Of Them In Surah Al-Araf, Which
Is The Seventh Surah Of The Holy Quran, Verse Number 27: Allah
Said They See You In A Way That You Do Not See Them.
So, What Allah Has Given Us As A Set Rule Is That We Both
Going To Exist In This World, Coexist In This World, But They'Re
Going To Be Able To See Us And Themselves, But We Don'T See
Them. Now The Jinn, Though They See Us
They Don'T See The Angels.
Jinns Don'T See The Angels And They Don'T See The Angelic
World. The Angelic World Has Been Created From Light.
The Jinns Have Been Created From Fire.
And Again, There Are Several Ayat In The Quran To Talk About
The Fact That They'Ve Been Created From Fire.
Our Essence Comes From Clay, From Water And From Other Elements.
We'Ve Got A Heavy Material Side To Us.
They'Ve Got A Very Light Side To Them.
The Essence Is That They Are.. Since They Are Of Fire, You Know Fire
Rises.... Heat Rises. So Jinns And Then Being Sort
Of Non-Tangible, They'Re Able To Fly.
They Are Able To Move Around Much More Easily Than Ourselves.
Now One Particular Incident Is In Surah An-Naml Where Suleiman
Alehissalaam; He Asks, He Asks Who Is Going To Bring The Arsh
The Throne Of Bilqis
So The Interesting Part That Because There'S Two
Different Beings That Stand Up; One Is The Actual Jinn And
One Is The One Who'S Been Given The Knowledge And They Say
According To The Tafaseer,
They Say That The One Who'D Been Given Knowledge.
Some Have Said That Is Jibreel, But Others Have Said That
It'S Actually Another Jinn That Is Stronger Than This One.
So If You Look In Surah Number 27 Verse Number 39
And 40 Will Find, A Ifrit; Allah Has Given That Name From The
Jinn Said I Will Bring It To You.
I'Ll Bring Bilqis'.. Bilqis, Again Is Controlling A
Whole World Of Jinn And She'S A Jinn Herself.
And He Says I Will Bring You Her Throne To You Before You
Can Even Stand Up In Your Place; Strong And Animal So, You Know,
I'Ve Got Trust And Then The One Who Had The Knowledge Of
The Book Said, He Stood Up And Said I Can Bring It To You
Before You Can Blink Your Next Eye And Before He Blinked, He
Saw The Throne Of Bilqis' In Front Of Him.
And .... The Power Now, They Could Move Some Of The Them...
Again Is To Do With The Powder Allah Has Given, Some Of Them
Are Weaker Than Others.
Some Of Them Are Weaker Than Others.
So Some Of Them Can'T Move So Fast, But Some Of Them.. But
Others Can Actually Move Fast. Some Of Them Are More Powerful
Than Others In Very Clear From This Part Of The Tafseer Of
The Quran That There Is A Strength Amongst Them That Whether... You
Know, Some Of Them Have More Power Than Others.
Now Interestingly Suleiman Alehissalaam.
He Was Given The Power Over Jinns.
He Was The Only Human Being That Had The Authority Given
By Allah To Control Jinns And Allah Has Given Reference In
The Holy Quran About That In Surah An-Naml Again Where
Allah Says; Surah An-Naml, Verse Number 17 Of Surah
27 That For Suleiman The Jinns Were Gathered.
The Men Were Gathered And The Birds Were Also Gathered.
This Is Specifically His Power That Allah Had Given Him
That He Could Have That Influence On Them.
And What He Would Do Is That He Would Ask Them To Build Monuments
For Him.
And If They Didn'T Build Monuments For Him, He Would
Cage Them Up And He Would Also Ask Them To Dive Into The
Oceans And Bring Out For Him Certain Precious Stones Out
From The Depth Of The Of The Ocean.
So Some Of Them He Had Them Building, Some Of Them He Had
Them In Cages And Some Of Them He Had Them, You Know Diving
Into The Oceans And This Is In The Quran In Surah Saad 38
Surah, I Gave Solomon The Power Of The Winds, Gently It
Will Be Able To Take Him Whatever He Wanted And Whatever
It Would It Reach To. Allah Has Created Certain Shaiteens Or Devils.
That Allah Says They Were Masons For
Him. So They Used To Build. They Used To Dive
Into The Oceans, Others Whom He Had Chained Up Because
They Wouldn'T Listen To Him.
So He Had That Power And He Used To Work Very Tirelessly
For Him, Very Tirelessly For Him Because Allah Had Given Him
The Power Over The Jinns. He Could Order Any Jinns At Any Moment
To Be In Front Of Him And He Could Send Other Jinns To Gone
Capture Them And Bring Them To Him And They Were Working
Working Tirelessly
And There'S One Interesting Part That I Want To Quote
Here Because It Relates To Some People'S Belief Regarding
The Jinns In Surah Saba, Which Is The 34th Surah Of The
Quran Verse Number 14; Allah Says The Jinns Were Working
For Him, Though They Weremaking Many Things For Him, Though They Were Making Monuments
For Him.
They'Re Making Even Large Pots For Him.
They Were Making Features And Architectural Pieces For Him.
This Is All In Verse Number 13, That Sulaiman Alehissallaam
Was Making Through The Jinns And Then What Happened Is That
He Had A Glass Chamber
And He Was Standing In The Glass Chamber With A Stick That
He Was Resting Upon With His Chin
And The Jinns Are... What He Was Doing Is He Was Standing In
Qiam, He Was Standing In Sort Of Prayer Or Salah And Worshipping
Allah Subhanahu Wa'Ta'Ala And He Actually Died.
So Suleiman (A.S)'S Death Is Actually While He'S Standing
With That Stick Under His Chin.
He'S Resting With That Stick,
Just Resting On His Chin, And He Actually Died In That Position.
But The Jinns Are Still Tirelessly Working Around Him Because
They Knew Though Suleiman (A.S) Is Praying There.
He Could Just Open His Eyes And If You Saw Them Not Working
They Would Be Chained Up.
So They Are Working Working Working Tirelessly And They Say That
They Were Working According To Tafaseer..
They Say That It Took Six Months
For A Small Insect To Bite Through That Stick The Suleiman (A'S)
Was Resting Until Finally The Stick Snapped And Suleiman (A.S)
Fell Down And The Quran Says When He Fell
Down The Jinns Found... Now Realize.. If They Knew The World Of
The Unseen, They Wouldn'T Have Remained In This Punishable
State That Suleiman (A.S) Had Put Them In. They
Wouldn'T Have Remained In That Clear Punishment. Now
Or That Disgraceful Punishment.
Now That Is Very Clear Here.
That Jinns Don'T Know The Unseen World.
Now There Are People Who Will Try And Capture Jinns Or To
Try And See If They Can Talk To A Jinn Who'S Trapped In A Human
Being And See If They Can Get To Know The Unseen World.
It'S Haram, Why? Because The Jinns Don'T Know The Unseen World
And If The Jinn Is Telling You About The Unseen World Then
He'S Giving You .....He'S Giving You Stories: Jack Norris, Alright?
What Happened Is That The Jinns Used To From A Very
Old Time Since Then Because They'Ve Been Here Before Us.
They'Ve Been Here Before Us And They Were Here When The Jinns
Were Residing On The Earth And There Was No Humans On The
Earth. Adam (A.S) Got Created After The Creation
Of Jinns, Jinns Had A Lot Of Bloodshed Because.. Don'T Forget
Please, They Are A Nation Or They Are A
Group Of Beings Allah Has Created. They Have Everything Similar
To Us, Everything Similar To Us.
They Eat, They Sleep They Have Homes.
Okay, They Have Conversations With One Another Just Like
We Have, They Have Language Amongst Themselves.
They Have Castes.
They Have Religions.
They Have Bartering Things... At The Barter With And They Trade
With. They Have Challenges With One Another. They Have Troubles
And They Have Arguments With One Another. They Could Have
Fights And Wars With One Another And When It Gets To Fight
With Jinn And Jinn.
It Can Become Very Serious Sometimes. In Fact, It Ended Up
A Lot Of The Time Before Adam (A.S) Came To This Earth
He Ended Up In Death; Death Of Jinns, Death Of Jinns
In Fact, When The Messenger Used To Come Amongst Them
From The Jinns, This Is All In Tafseer In Ibn Kathir (Rah).
If You Want Actually Read Upon It About The Jinns, If You
Want To Look At The First Tafseer Of Surah Bakra
Where Adam (A.S) Is Mentioned, You Will Find A Lot Of This And You'Ll
Find Another That In Another Tafseer As Well.
They Were On This Earth And They Were Causing A Lot Of Mischief
On The Earth When A Messenger
Would Come They Would Kill That Messenger.
And That Is When He Iblish At That Time
He Was Jinn. He Was Part Of Their World And He, You Know Ascended
High Enough That He Became Part Of The World Of Angels Because
Of His Good Nature.
He Was A Good Being And He Started To Worship Allah And Worship
Allah Till He Got To The Ranks Of The Angel,
Some Of The Highest Angels And He Being A Jinn That He Wasn'T An Angel.
You'Ve Been A Jinn, You Know Living In Amongst The Ranks Of The
Angels. In Fact, There Are Certain Weak Hadiths To Say That
He Even Worship Allah On Every Single Sky, Every Single Heaven,
He Worships Allah And He Got To So Close That He Then Asked
Allah To Send With Him A Group Of Angels To Go Back To The
Earth And To Banish These Jinns And To Kill As Many As He
Could To Try And Curb The Violence On The On The Earth.
So Allah Allowed That, He Came, He Did That And You Know, The Jinns
Were Now Only A Few In Scarce Places Of The World And That'S
When He When He Came Back Up
Allah Knew His Intentions Because Iblish / Devil Was Looking For
His Own Little, You Know High Rank And He Wanted To Become
You Know, Mr. Chief.
Yeah, Mr. Chairman.
You Know, People Fight To Get The Chair, Right? Guys, You'Re Not
Listening, People Fight To Get The Chair, You Know To Get
A Chair, They Fight. To Get .. Leadership, They Fight, To Get
In Charge Of A Place They Fight, To Get Charge Of Any Country They Fight.
So Iblish Was After This And Allah Knew His Intention, So He Wanted
To Show This And He Created Adam Alayhi Salam And Then He
Told Him To Bow And Then Here Iblish Refused Because He Knew
The Significance Of This Bowing, That Bowing Wasn'T Because
Of Worship That Bowing Was To Accept The Authority Of Adam (A.S)
Islam Over The Jinns And Over Even The Angels, Angels, Angels
Are Great, But We Are In One Way Greater Than Them Because
Angels Don'T Have The Ability To Go Against The Will Of
Allah. They Can'T Disobey Allah, It Is In The Nature To Always
Obey Allah. But We Have. So When We Choose, You Know Obedience
Over Disobedience That Is A Far Greater.
That Is A Far Greater Achievement And The Angels Who Have
No Will To Disobey God, You Understand That Is Why On The
Day Of Arafat, There Is A Clear Hadith In Muslimm Allah Will Bost To
The Angels And Say O Angels, Allah Bosts To The Angels And
It Says, Oh My Angels Look At My Servants On The Day Of Arafah
Who Have Come To Me With Tatty Hair And Dusty Cloth, Disheveled To Me,
Look At Them, Allah Bost To Them Because Of The Fact That
We Can Disobey But We Choose To Obey And That'S A Higher Rank.
So Iblish Saw This And He Didn'T Bow Therefore, You Know,
We Know The Clash That Happened, You Know, He Asked For Extra
Time And Got That And Then He Said That I'M Going To... I'M
Not Going To Let This Human Being And All The Progeny Off.
I Want To Take As Many Of Them As I Can To Hell Fire With
Me And He Said I Want To Come In Front Of Them.
I Want To Come Behind Them, Come From The Right Side,
I'M Going To Come From The Left Side, Like We Will Not Find
Most Of Them To Be, You Know Thankful To You, Now
There'S A Key Thing Here That Allah Said And This Is The
Key For Our Protection From. He Said, Iblish Said Except For
Those Of You Servants Of Are Going To Be Righteous, Swaleheen
If There'S Righteousness, If There'S Good Actions And
Shaitan Has Less Influence Because Your Immune System Is
Strong And He Has Less Influence Over Mankind. Now
He Has This, You Know Time That Is Going To Stay
On The Earth, No Other Jinn Has Been Given This Time To Stay On The
Earth Forever Until The Day Of Judgment.
No Other Jinn Has Been Given That. Now Obviously Iblish
Has His Progeny, Iblish Has His Children.
Iblish Has His Friends And This Is Clear From The Holy
Quran, Surat Al-Kahf The In The 15th Juz Of
The Quran.
Surah Number 18 Verse Number 50; Allah Says Will You Oh Human
Beings, Some Of You Human Beings Take Him And Take His Children
Allah Says His Children His Progeny, His Grandchildren.
His Grandchildren'S Grandchildren, He'S Got A Whole Race
Of Things That Are Being Being Created On This Earth.
And So Have We. So Allah Says, Will You Take Him And His Family
Members As Your Allies, As Your Close Ones Besides Me
While He Is Your Enemy.
Will You Do This?
