Summary of Sunni concepts
The truth about the jinn and their origin
Jinn is a real world that exists in life
Muslims believe in this existence
To tell the Holy Qur’an about them in many verses
In fact, an entire surah of his surahs is called Surah Al-Jinn
It tells about some of their descriptions and their situation with the Holy Qur’an
The jinn were created before humans
Their creation was from fire
As God Almighty said
We created the jinn before from the fire of toxins
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
The jinn were created from a jinn of fire
Narrated by Muslim
And the subject of janna in the language
Benefits of concealment
Everything that is hidden from you is hidden from you
And the darkness of the night has drawn its cover and darkness
Gardens with dense trees are called jnana
Because its trees cover what is underneath them from the sun
Therefore, the world of the jinn is independent and separate from humans
We cannot perceive them with our abstract minds and senses
But we may sometimes realize some of their effects
The basic fact is that we do not see them or feel them
As God Almighty said about Satan and his soldiers, who are among the jinn
He sees you and his tribe from where you do not see them
They are from the unseen that we are commanded to believe in
A relative absence, not an absolute one
They may sometimes be shaped like some animals
They sometimes appear to some people
They may address them or dress some people
They enter into them and dominate them because they harmed them, for example
Or because one of the witches and sorcerers
He has sent them to bewitch them
Some descriptions of the jinn and their types
We do not know the descriptions of the jinn and their types
Except what God and His Messenger told us
It is that first
They have hearts, eyes, and ears
Humans also have all of that
God Almighty said
And We have created for Hell many jinn and humans
They have hearts with which they do not understand
They have eyes with which they cannot see
They have ears with which they cannot hear
Those are like cattle, nay, they are more astray
Those are the heedless ones
What is meant in the verse is not seeing or hearing
It is turning away from the truth and not being guided to it
It's as if they don't see him or hear him
Nor did their hearts understand it
This is as God Almighty said about the infidel nations
And We gave them hearing, sight, and hearts
Their hearing, their sight, and their hearts are of no use to them
Because they denied the signs of God
And what they mocked befell them
Secondly
They are three types
As the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, told
There are three types of jinn
He created wings for them to fly in the air
He classified snakes and dogs
And the class they solve and put
Narrated by Ibn Hibban and Al-Tabarani in Al-Kabir and Al-Hakim
It was authenticated by Al-Albani
Assignment of the jinn
The jinn are accountable and are subject to Sharia law, just like humans
They were created for the same purpose for which mankind was created
God Almighty said
I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me
Messengers were sent to them just as they were sent to mankind
God Almighty said
No, company of jinn and humans. Did not messengers from among you come to you narrating to you My verses?
And they warn you of the meeting of this day of yours
And a word from you
It is possible that the messengers of the jinn are of their kind
Or that their messengers are only messengers of mankind themselves
Because it was mentioned after all the jinn and mankind were mentioned
This work is not based on disagreement
It is not paid attention to in general
However, we are certain that they are entrusted with the message of our Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace
According to the words of God Almighty
Say: It has been revealed to me that a group of jinn listened
They said, “We have heard a wondrous Qur’an.”
It guides us to maturity, so we believe in Him
We will not associate anyone with our Lord
And the Almighty said a story about the words of the jinn
They said, “O our people, we have heard a letter.”
It was sent down after Moses
Verifying what is in his hands
It guides you to the truth and a straight path
O our people, answer God’s caller
Believe in Him and He will forgive you of your sins
And He will save you from a painful punishment
Whoever does not respond to God’s caller is not a miracle on earth
He has no guardians besides Him
Those are in clear error
These verses also benefit their knowledge
By the law of God’s Prophet Moses, peace be upon him
It also confirms their assignment to our law
The jinn are just like humans
In their position on assignment and worship
Among them are obedient believers
Among them are the sinners
Among them are the unbelievers
As God told them they said
I am among us Muslims and among us are those who neglect
Whoever converts to Islam, those will seek righteousness
As for those who fall short, they are firewood for Hell
Their disbelievers will also bear witness against themselves on the Day of Resurrection of their disbelief
Like a human
So God Almighty says
They testified against themselves that they were unbelievers
It includes them because the verse is the beginning of it
O community of jinn and humans
Did not messengers from your own come to you?
Jinn are like humans
They enter hell or heaven
According to their faith and deeds
Concerning Hell, God Almighty said:
He said, “Enter among the nations that passed away before you, of the jinn and mankind, in Hell.”
As for heaven
God has blessed their believers by entering it like humans
God Almighty said, addressing all of mankind and jinn
And for whoever fears standing before his Lord, there are two gardens
So which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?
Jinn and the knowledge of the unseen
Allegation of charlatans and charlatans
Informing them of the unseen through communication with the jinn
He is a fool and a charlatan
God Almighty said
Say: No one in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except God
This is true of everyone in the heavens and the earth
It includes all humans and jinn
Especially regarding the jinn
God Almighty said about the jinn who are subjugated
To serve his Prophet Suleiman, peace be upon him
Then when we judged him to die
The only indication to them of his death was an animal on the ground that ate from his flesh
When he fell, the jinn became clear
If only they knew the unseen
They remained in humiliating torment
It was the demons of the jinn
Before the mission of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
They eavesdrop from the sky
They snatch the word from the truth
They mix with it a hundred lies
They throw it into the ears of their saints, the soothsayers and fortune-tellers
As the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
When the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, was sent
It prevented the jinn from eavesdropping on the sky
God Almighty said
And We have placed constellations in the sky
And We have beautified it for the onlookers
And We protected it from every accursed devil
Except for one who eavesdrops, and is followed by a clear shooting star
And in Surah Al-Jinn
And we touched the sky and found it
Filled with strong guards and meteors
Because we used to sit in the seats to listen
Whoever listens now will find a meteor waiting for him
And the Almighty said
They do not listen to the supreme council
They are pelted from all sides
They will be defeated, and they will have a severe torment
Except for the one who was snatched away and followed by a piercing shooting star
It is never permissible to believe that the jinn knows the unseen
Or believe soothsayers and fortune-tellers in what they say
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Whoever goes to a fortune teller and asks him about something
His prayers were not accepted for forty nights
Narrated by Muslim
Our position on the jinn
When the world of the jinn was hidden from the world of humans
Separate from him
People should avoid them and not communicate with them
Or seeking their help in a matter of this world or religion
God did not permit any of that
Except for the subjugation of some of them to his Prophet Solomon, peace be upon him
It was not part of the call of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace
For them to believe in God Almighty
Commissioned by Him, Glory be to Him
The believer of the jinn has stated
That seeking human help from them harms them and does not benefit them
God Almighty said
And he was a human being
They seek refuge with men from the jinn
They made them more burdensome
It should also
Protecting yourself from the evil of the jinn’s demons through what God has prescribed for us
One of the constant remembrances of God Almighty in every situation
Especially the morning and evening remembrances
And reciting Surat Al-Falaq and Al-Nas
And the supplication of going home
Children stop playing and excessive movement at sunset
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, also instructed that
Because it is the hour when the devils are spreading
Definition of Satan and his relationship with the jinn
Satan is from Shattan, meaning after
Satan is called the jinn
Because he is far from the truth and from God’s mercy
And for his disobedience and rebellion against his Lord
And his refusal to prostrate to Adam, peace be upon him
It is a word used in the Arabic language to refer to every oppressive person
A rebel against the jinn, humans and animals
God Almighty said
And thus We have appointed for every prophet
Enemy of the devils of mankind and jinn
But not every jinn is a devil
The jinn is as before
Among them are Muslims
Among them are the rebellious infidels
And these are the only devils
As for naming Satan
Balsam is one who has no good
And Apollos despaired and was confused
So God called Satan Satan
Because he despaired of God's mercy
Because there is no good for him
Satan's enmity towards the children of Adam
God Almighty stated in His Holy Book
Satan's enmity towards the children of Adam
In many verses
About his enmity to Adam, peace be upon him
And his wife, God Almighty said
So we said, “O Adam.”
This is an enemy of you and your husband
They will not expel you from Paradise
So you are miserable
And the Almighty said
So remove Satan from it
So he took them out of what was in them
And say, “Go down, enemies of one another.”
And you have a stable on earth
And enjoyment for a while
And his hostility to all human beings
God Almighty said
Did I not entrust you, O sons of Adam?
Do not worship Satan
He is your clear enemy
And the Almighty said
Satan is your enemy
So they took him as an enemy
He only calls on his party to be among the companions of the Blaze
Satan himself declared it
His enmity towards the children of Adam
God Almighty said
He said: Have you seen this person whom you honored?
Because you delay me until the Day of Resurrection
His offspring will harm you except a little
And his saying, “I will afflict you with his offspring.”
That is, to seize control of his offspring through seduction and deception
And the Almighty said
My Lord said, “Because you have led me astray, I will certainly beautify them on earth.”
And I will seduce them all
Except Your sincere servants among them
Satan's goals and purposes
The general goal that Satan seeks to achieve
It is to throw a person into the fire
And it deprives him of Paradise just as it deprived him of it
God Almighty said
He only calls on his party to be among the companions of the Blaze
Its detailed objectives for achieving this goal and its means for doing so are numerous
From her
Firstly
Leading people into polytheism and disbelief
God Almighty said
Like Satan, when he said to man, he is ungrateful
When he disbelieved, he said, “I am innocent of you.”
And in the Holy Hadith
And I created all of My servants as being pure
And the devils came to them
So I drove them away from their religion
And I forbade for them what I made permissible for them
And I commanded them to associate anything with Me for which I did not send down any authority
Narrated by Muslim
Secondly
Trapping them into heresy
This is more beloved to Satan than falling into sin
Because its harm is in religion
Because sin can be repented of
As for heresy
It is rare for the owner to repent of it
Because he does not believe that he is wrong and sinful
Third
Trapping them into sins and transgressions
That is when he will not be able to lead them into polytheism and disbelief
As God Almighty said
He only commands you to do evil and immorality
And that you say about God what you do not know
And the Almighty said
Satan only wants to create enmity and hatred between you through alcohol and gambling
It prevents you from remembering God and praying
Are you finished?
And other verses
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Indeed, Satan has despaired of ever being worshiped in this country of yours
But obedience will be due to Him in any of your deeds that you despise
He will be satisfied with it
Narrated by Al-Tirmidhi
It was authenticated by Al-Albani
Fourth
Prevent them from obedience and worship
God Almighty also mentioned what Satan said
He said, “Because you have led me astray, I will remain for them on your straight path.”
Then I will come to them from before them, from behind them, from their right, and from their left
You will not find most of them thankful
And the Almighty said
Satan only wants to create enmity and hatred between you through alcohol and gambling
It prevents you from remembering God and praying
Are you finished?
And from that too
Corrupting the worship and obedience of human beings
Whether by obsessiveness about it
Or introducing hypocrisy into the heart of the servant
Or distract him from humility and contemplation in his worship
And so on
Fifth
Preoccupying them with permissible matters and expanding them
Sixth
Preoccupying them with the virtuous rather than the virtuous
Seventh
He casts out his guardians from the devils of the jinn and mankind to harm the servants of God
When he despaired of misleading them
Satan's means to achieve his goals
Satan uses many methods to achieve his goals and plot against the children of Adam
It is so
Firstly
Decorating falsehood
He portrays falsehood in the image of truth
As he did with our father Adam, peace be upon him
Where he whispered to him to eat from the tree that he was forbidden from
And he said
Your Lord has not forbidden you from this tree except that it be two angels or that it be among the immortals
Satan swore to continue this approach, so he said:
O Lord, because You have led me astray, I will surely beautify them on earth
And I will seduce them all
Except Your sincere servants among them
This is an example
Adorning the call to earthly doctrines
Capitalism, communism or socialism
It is the way to a safe and prosperous life
And from that too
Calling for nudity and obscenity
In the name of personal freedom and openness
And from that too
Distracting people and corrupting their morals with low-quality films and series in the name of art
And from that too
Adorning the life of this world, relying on it, and forgetting the afterlife
And other endless means of decoration
Secondly
Excessive or excessive use of weapons
This depends on the servant’s situation regarding any of God’s commands
If he finds it lukewarm, careless, and indulgent
Take it from the side of negligence
The commanded slave may even have left out a sentence
Even if he finds caution, concern, and determination in it
Take it from the side of excess
Until he falls into extremism and exceeds the limits of what God has commanded
And falling into innovation in the religion of God
Third
False promises and security
This is through whispering to the children of Adam with illusions of dominance or wealth
Or happiness in following falsehood
In fact, he is a liar and a deceiver
He promises them and wishes them
Satan promises them nothing but delusion
And the Almighty said
And when Satan made their deeds seem pleasing to them
And he said, “No man can defeat you today.”
And I am your neighbor
When the two groups saw each other, he turned back on his heels
He said I am innocent of you
Fourth
Appearing as an advisor to a person
God Almighty said
And I swear to them, “I am of those who advise you both.”
So he pampered them arrogantly
Fifth
Gradual deception
It does not lead him to sin or disbelief directly
Because he knew he wouldn't do that
Rather, he follows a gradual policy
And go to it step by step
That is why God Almighty said, warning against it
And do not follow the steps of Satan
He is your clear enemy
Sixth
The servant postpones what is good and righteous
It is close to discouraging obedience and worship
But the servant comes out of forgetfulness
To discourage
God also told about the one who escaped from prison
From the companion of Joseph, peace be upon him
When he forgot what he commanded him
He said to the one who thought it was coming from him
Remember me before your Lord
Satan made him forget to remember his Lord
He stayed in prison for a few years
God Almighty also said about that
And when you see those who delve into Our verses
So turn away from them until they engage in someone else's conversation
Or Satan will make you forget
Do not sit after the remembrance with the unjust people
Seventh
Intimidating people from Satan’s guardians
God Almighty said
It is Satan who frightens his friends
So do not fear them, but fear them if you are believers
Eighth
Casting suspicions
This is to shake one's faith
With the doubts and suspicions he casts
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said
Satan comes to one of you
He says: Who created such and such?
Who created such and such?
Until he says, “Who created your Lord?”
If he reaches it, let him seek refuge in God and be gentle
Narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim
And other of his cunning methods
Which one can transcend
With the strength of his faith and the help of his Lord
Satan's plot is weak
Despite all the mentioned goals of Satan
And its means of misleading the children of Adam
God Almighty ruled that his plot was weak
As long as one is fortified by his faith
In his Lord and piety
God Almighty said
Satan's plot was weak
As God Almighty decreed
That Satan has no authority
On His faithful servants
God Almighty said
My servants, you have no authority over them
Your Lord is sufficient as a disposer of affairs
God Almighty promised to be a representative of His faithful servants
And protect them from the deception and whisperings of Satan
God Almighty explained that Satan's temptation and misguidance
It is for those who follow him
Whose heart is filled with temptation
My servants, you have no authority over them
Except for those who go astray who follow you
No one should use Satan to mislead him
And they cannot do so
The temptation comes from him
For those whose heart is inclined toward that
God Almighty said
When they deviated, God made their hearts deviated
And God does not guide the rebellious people
