I will just clear some misconception , jinns are sentient beings living in an alternate dimension , they aren't monsters or beasts , they can feel, think ,talk and choose . just like us humans they can choose good or evil , they live in cities and towns ,have jobs, religion ,laws,wars ... and just like us they die.
Gin comes from the juniper berry which gives the gin its flavor and astringent quality. "Spirit" when associated with alcohol comes from Islamic alchemy (we would call them chemists today, most likely.) As distilling liquors requires an alembic distilling apparatus which would have been limited to herbalists or alchemists. There is no relationship between "djinn" and gin, or supernatural "spirits" with alcohol.
@@Lililililili333 Because when you get drunk enough, you blackout, or surrender your body, get possessed, gin was the original spirit, the stories came later.
I am muslim ❤️ here , in arabic : jinn is devided from the source word ijtinanan in the meaning of “ikhtifaä” = being unseen . Plus we believe they are made of fire , the first jinn ever created “ sumia” Jinnie is the male , female is : jinniat (female “t” is unpronounceable) with the stress in the n in both , while jinn is plural , Jinn’s babies breastfeeding is up to 12 years , can live up to 1000 years or more , we believe that they are made of negative energy, electrons , though.. there are always kind jinn and bad ones Thanks
I don´t know many muslim people, so may I ask you, are stories like Disney´s Aladdin or I dream of Jeannie offensive? Or is it offensive if a non muslim person writes a story about a western like genie instead of an accurate Jinnie?
Taniart 17 they aren't stories. Jinns are worshippers of satan. They mislead you,and are stronger then man kind,but have no knowledge. They go inside of people's bodies,and attack you (you can see many on TH-cam,or real life) They are the unseen. However I don't know about genies.
@@stellastar8770 brother Jinns have free will like us humans. they are not necessarily evil nor good. there are Muslim Jinn as well. most are followers of iblis and are called shayateen (singular shaitan). Humans can become one of the shayateen too, if they become his follower.
@@stellastar8770 no all jinn are not evil. They have free will like humans. There are good and bad jinn just like there are good and bad humans. Satan is an evil jinn.
@@taniart1710 not at all ! It’s originally from arabic mythology jinns aren’t wise and nice in reality they are so limited , but it’s only offensive if someone make stories about god and prophets … jinns are just ordinary creatures like humans but made of energy , you can’t be offensive by writing stories about people.. same 😄
As a Muslim ,I salute you on the amount of research you put into this..I Aldo would like to add tht it is believed tht jinns have their own religion as well , there are Christian jinn , jew and muslims..
@@matiasdelgado7011 not gods but other powerful beings who live in a different dimension than ours . ..so we can't see them or sense them ...they have their own lives , families, cities, religion and they will face a judgement day as well ... In Islam we believe in one supreme limitless God (in Arabic the word for God is Allah) who created humans from clay and Djinn from fire ..both beings were created to worship Allah during their lifetime and will be judged on their sins and go to heaven or hell in the afterlife
@@hadirmaamouri4204 of course we call him as Yahwe because Im catholic and we are abrahamanic. But before Mohammed existed politheism in Middle Orient and I never knowed abouth if jinn were that pre islamic gods or if that gods were like the nordic aesir and vanir or the Babilonian deities. I only knowed a little abouth three godesses and some principal god over them.
@@matiasdelgado7011 You have mixed up a few things here, mate. 1. Jinns are not gods but one of the creations by the Almighty(swt). These entities are called by some as ghosts, sprits, ghouls, demons and even unwittingly as gods/goddesses by some who gets deceived by them as their wellwisher and worship them as local guardians or deties and then introduced in the folklore making it's way to their respective mythology. 2. Jinns are of many types and reside in tribes and have inhabited the world from before the Mankind i.e. Adam/children of Adam(a.s). The satan is a jinn. The Evil one. Other Abrahamic people refer to the jinn simply as demons or sometimes as a Fallen Angel. But the difference between a jinn and angel is that Jinns have free will like Humans and can be both good or bad unlike the Angels who are ever obedient to Allah(swt). 3. Acc. to Islam, the satan is a jinn who was a servant of God but disaobeyed God by refusing to pay respect to Adam(a.s), as a creation, as he believed that Adam(a.s) created from clay is much inferior to him who has been created from smokeless fire. So before facing the warth of the Almighty he asked for respite until the Day of Judgment and so that he can prove his case by leading Mankind astray. And God granted him permission except for those who seek refuge in the Almighty (swt).
I think supernatural's version of the jin was really scary. Where whatever your wish was you got it. But you don't realize that you're just unconscious and the jin is slowly eating you alive and your wishes are just figments of your imagination while you slowly descend into death.
that's definitely not how djinn works 😂 basically you make a deal with them, and you have to pay the "currency" the worst is the one that use other people's life. either as a target or as collateral.
@@ruuoxi Actually your idea is even worse.. what mia said actually makes sense cuz jinns will suck ya lifeforce the more you give into them but you also make sense cuz jinns are different
5:51 As arbian you got a lot of things right but here is a little correction jin is not used to describe angel but it might be used for demons as you said
@@faizmehmod3062 I think so too. They were not exiled from earth, but they were no longer the owners/keepers of earth. Humans took that role as Allah has made it so.
@@faizmehmod3062 they were exiled from their lands to faraway places, like the sea and desert, I think. There was a war between them and angels. And that’s how Iblees came to reside amongst angels and learn from them and be as pious as they were until the creation of Adam and his disobedience of Allah. Some stories tell that Iblees was taken as a child in that war. And that is why in the Quran Iblees was amongst the angels even though he was not an angel himself.
@@Hebiscus998 First thing first, this is an Arabian folklore. Not all Arabs was muslim. And to my knowledge the war before times was the angels and something else, not from a djinn kind. They spread destruction over the world at that time. So Allah send the angels to defeat them. And amongst the djinn that there's one most pious and strong djinn by the name of Iblis, stood up and fight for the cause of Allah. By so he was rewarded to stand by the ranks of the angels. These unnamed creatures was truly extinct, and their whole history even their names were lost and ended there. But what do I know. Allah knows best.
@@kemski7665 I’m a Muslim and I never heard that story you told. I was taught that Iblis and the angels had a war to against the jinn because the evil jinn were causing corruption on the earth. The angels and Iblis fought them and defeated them and forces them to move to far away lands (if I recall correctly). I didn’t learn anything of any “unnamed beings”.
Human represent God Mercy and Love while Jinn represent God Might and Power. That's why they constantly fighting/war on each other to the point they almost annihilated their own civilization and earth itself.
Yes, but they are from the Arabian Lore, NOT Middle Eastern Lore; they come from pre-Islamic Arabia. The Middle East is a vast region housing many smaller regions/countries that have their own distinct cultures and ethnicities, including Arabian, and other cultures/ethnicities like Levantine, Turkish, and Persian.
hey there, middle eastern here. I wanna add few pieces of information about Jinn, my ancestors practiced witchcraft and dealt with Jinn to the point that they ran a business through it (we don't do it, plus it's so illegal that you'll immediately get executed. however I know how to in case you're curious). I know there is no reason to believe anything I say since I'm a random person in the comment section, so it's up to you lol. it's true when you said that Jinn can't be physically killed, but there are ways to kill them. the first method is by the Quran or the Christian and Jewish bible and this is only in extreme cases of possession when the Jinn refuses to leave the body. I know many people will disagree because those two changed over the course of time, but they're still holy books and do have an effect. The second method is by another Jinn, usually when a Jinn breaks the Jinn law of possessing a human or showing themselves to a human (there are probably other reasons too since the Jinn all share different types of law based on tribes) they will be executed, which is why most stay inside the human body. Now not all Jinn are evil, just like humans, some are good and some are bad, also many have different religions such as Islam, Christianity, and Jewdisim, among others. There are more than 3 types of Jinn actually, first you have the fire, water, earth, and wind types (yes insert avatar joke). Those are the most common types, and each type is very different than the other to the point that when you do a spell, you need to know which type to invoke in order for them to carry out the spell (i use the word spell loosely here but its mainly the jinn doing what you want, like harming someone, having them love you, etc. "spell" is just more specific). As far as I know, only the earth type lives among us, as the wind Jinn lives in high mountains, and the water Jinn lives in the sea. There is also a type that lives specifically in your house, those are called "the inhabiters", roughly translating the name lol. Those take the image of the people who live in the house, a perfect replica, except they are "mirrored", for example, if you're right-handed and have a mole on your right cheek, then the jinn that looks like you is left-handed and has a mole on their left cheek. Those are good Jinn, they exist only to inhabit the space that overlaps where your house is so no other Jinn or demons would be able to live or even visit. They are so good that many witches need to force them out of the house in order to do a spell or summon a Jinn because "the inhabiters" would prevent the Jinn from visiting, thus nullifying the spell. And the only way to kick them out is by abusing the Quran and literally "burning them" so they can leave, once the spell is done, they are summoned back into the house (if you don't summon them then you are screwed lol) I don't have a lot of knowledge about the other types because even Jinn fear and avoid them, my great-grandma worked as a "witch" (btw you are not born a witch, anyone can become one lol) said that the other types of Jinn act more like animals, they don't think, they just act out based on instinct and many don't even have a shape. Through all my research into my family's old "business", I couldn't find much information on them. All Jinn can shapeshift into animals and humans btw, however not all can, it requires a lot of skill to do so, and only older and powerful Jinn can do it, and even then it's not a perfect shapeshift. due to the nature of jinn being born of smoke (or the tip of the flame as some might suggest), the shape they take almost always has a flaw. most of them just possess animals since its less taxing than possessing a human (puts a lot of stress on them and the human, they feel like being suffocated) As far as i know, there are three reasons why a jinn would possess a human, it's either that the human harmed the jinn willingly or unwillingly (going to their home and vandalizing it for example), the Jinn was summoned and was told to do so or the Jinn is in love with the person (those are a whole other story lol). Also, a Jinn can't say no to something when they are summoned, the whole "deal" thing between a human and a Jinn isn't actually all that true, while there are some extremely rare cases to why a Jinn would willingly want to help a witch out, almost all Jinn summoning is forced upon the Jinn and is basically a threat to them "do this for me or I'll burn you lol" you might be asking "why doesn't the jinn fight back?" If a witch protects itself properly, then they can't be harmed. The irony here is that all witches are condemned to an eternity in hell, all use the holy book to invoke and protect themselves from the Jinn. There is a part that I really want to shed some light on, the reason why humans can't see Jinn is actually due to the king of Jinn asking god that he doesn't want his race to be seen by humans, there is no mention of a war between humans and Jinn actually. when I double-checked this fact, i was surprised to see that it was a very widespread rumor online, even in Arabic forums. I really enjoyed your video and found it to be super fun and interesting, I really hope you don't take my comment as a negative thing, I just really wanted to share some info seeing how interested you are in stuff like this. I can share more detailed information about them if you like, but It's a lot lol. stay safe and take care!
That was incredibly informative, I genuinely enjoyed reading that. However I would like to raise a few points: a) When you use the term witch do you not mean sorcerer? A witch/warlock practices dark arts. There are various magic practices I'm pretty sure you mean something else. Maybe it's translation? b) From my knowledge the jinn kings are a bunch of demonic buggers so maybe you could specify the name? There are superhumans in various myths I'm pretty sure it was possible for us to go to war with them...
Also...you could just use goetia to bind the jinn (if you're a witch). You don't need to limit yourself to a holy book. I think only priests and theurgists/clerics use that. First I'm hearing of your account...
I love the idea of Djinn creating storms like you mentioned. That people back in the day used to think that storms were actually the product of multiple Djinn battling each other. That idea is so cool.
I grew up on djin stories my father used to tell me about the encounters he had and some of my uncles too. What is so scary about a djin is how they can shapeshift into anything really but there is always a flaw in their disguise so subtle and once you notice it you are done for, the only thing you have then is faith and the holy quran. My grand father allah rest his soul once told me a story about finding a sheep and he decided to carry it home and as he was walking with it, it started getting heavier till he heard it speak from the back of his ear asking if it's getting too heavy.... also once my dad was by the river side and saw a humanoid creature with no genitalia who quickly jumped in the river and never resurfaced. We also have a story about a djin that turns into a dog in this big vineyard who'd hunt you down with mighty speed and force foe years no one could walk through it at night. P.s: i am from Morocco.
@@Shafin15 yes...the creatures strong enough to pass as gods are afraid of us...makes perfect sense...🙄 Edit: I mean technically humans in mythology have godlike potential so at the same time it makes sense I guess...
The episode of the Witcher when the found the Jinn was great, it’s a retelling of the original short story by the Witcher author, they portrayed a Jinn pretty well.
Um, there is a thing called I Dream of Jeanie and Jambi the Genie from Peewee's Playhouse. I don't see anyone bringing them up. Also, there is a demon friend out there. Lucifer Morningstar.
It's always with you Christians to think that everything that is not of G-d or an angel is a demon. Talk about the blind leading the blind with these so-called Abrahamic religions...
I will send the Gobline Slayer to kill the goblin and his family and rescue you from the belly of the goblin. Beware, they a tiny chance that he will forget to rescue you or kill you in the process.
The jinn of the ring is actually quite humble from what I recall. Anyway, the takeaway from the story is that jinn or genies generally are not able to just teleport things or make gold spring into existence, so when the genie of the lamp moves the castle and all therein it actually picks the whole place up.
After seeing someone ‘possessed’ back in my home country, it’s best to leave Djinn alone. Well it could’ve just been a seizure but I wasn’t taking my chances and ran home!
People like you that still believe in stone age mythologies are why the world is still in trouble. Also, YOU ran away from a person that needed help because of a "Jinn". I wonder how Allah will look upon someone who abandoned someone in need? Better hope that wasn't a test...
@@Facetiously.Esoteric Religion teaches that Jinn are selfish and unpredictable. They can be of enormous use, but they believe in nothing but themselves so should be kept on a very short leash. The lamp is an analogy for a gilded cage; Genie equals Genius. Exorcism was designed to cleanse people spiritually. You can look at it as an early form of mental health care if you must. The whole point was that a lesser-jinn (a shit stirring arse hole) had poisoned somebody's mind and created a demon within them. The spiritual cleansing addresses that through mental trauma and even a little pain if necessary; circumstances that promote the rewiring of the patients mental faculties.
That's crazy. When I had a seizure one time a shadow figure came out of the t.v and sat on me preventing me from moving. I have seen this figure since I was a child, it knows my name.
Well done. I found in my research on Solomon and Asmodeus (which I believe you covered at one point as well) that Asmodeus, who we would typically call a demon, is a djinn known as “sakhr” (meaning rock, as Solomon traps him in a rock.)
OMG thank you so much for this! Just one thing about *ISLAMIC* *P.O.V.* Angels are not jins. May be you misinterpreted the sources due to translation error which isnt a big deal really. But just fun fact the three races are made from different elements with different properties:- 1. Angels (Malik) From Light - Magic (or miracles): Powerful - Free will: None (They are incapable of disobeying God) - Intelligence: Medium 2. Jinn: From Fire -Magic: Not as versatile as Angels - Free will: Present -Intelligence: Low (compared to the other 2 races) 3. Humans: From Dust -Magic: None -Free will: Present -Intelligence: High Also fun fact in Islam Satan is a jinn who refused to bow down to humans because of his pride. EDIT: Typo. Highlighted "Islamic P.O.V." cause apparently some people aren't getting the point. -_-'
Wait. Jinn have faiths (they can believe in any religion) as well how come they are less intelligent? I think i missed something. I thought humans were just slightly smarter than them
@@Grauenwolf I literally said that this is the Islamic POV not a cultural one. Also the video itself stated that the Jinn and the genie aren't the same and how they are not.
I love the show, What We Do In The Shadows. When Nandor rubs the lamp and gets a dijinn , I didn’t know there was so much connection to actual folklore beyond a storybook. Thank you.
Celestial Jinn are benevolent towards humans, Jinn are also more potent on material reality than angels or demons since jinn are closer to our realm, theres also Genii of twelfth hour which are separate spirits
As a native Arab that's total bullshit...wtf is a celestial Djinn?... there is no such thing as celestial Djinn as a matter of fact we believe that shooting stars are djinn falling as god smite them because they are trying to eavesdrop on the destiny/fate of someone. there is no Twelfth hour Djinn and Djinn are absolutely not more powerful then Angels....are you kidding me?...Angels are blessed by god. Finally no benevolent Djinn will ever contact humans as they have been warned by god (yes Djinn are just like humans they have free will and some follow gods rules and some are evil) only evil djinn will contact humans
Can you please make a video about "Dahag" also known as "Zahhak" which is a Persan folklore (for those who played Prince of Persia Warrior Within you know him as Dahaka)
It is said that there's a veil raised between the human and the jinn worlds. Also, jinn were present on earth way before human beings walked on this earth.
We can't understand or comprehend something that isn't from our dimensions, if the jinns does not want us to see them we won't, they have the upper hand, some say that jinns are vibrations
So this is why its been taking you a long while to upload. You have upped your game by releasing more and more animated videos. Personally I won't mind more frequent uploads at the cost of less animation.
Omg! I thought legends of history and you were the same person! Your voices sound alot alike. My hat goes off to the both of you nonetheless. You take time to research and put these tales together for us and it's always soothing listening to your voice
There is a most excellent story in a book called "Mainly In Moonlight" by Nicholas Stuart Grey titled "The Relictant Familiar" that includes: a daemon, 2 sorcerers, a Jinn, & an mideastrn princess that really shows the difference. If anyone's interested.
Some things that I think are wrong in this video, speaking as a Muslim who has done a fair bit of research into my religion. Jinn are like humans, they have free will, they have needs and wants. Angels don’t have free will or needs. Angels and jinn are not the same.
I have to say you really nailed this video. I knew it was going to be good the moment you said "be careful what you wish for" in the first minute, well done
Little note: in the story of "Aladdin" there were no limits to the number of wishes that could be made just the limitations of what the Jinn/Genie could do. Aladdin used the Lamp Jinn multiple times to provide food for his mother and himself then sold the dishes and wares in the bizarre for a few years, then came the wish for the massive entourage, after that it was for a palace, and so on...
Jinn are terrifyingly awesome I kinda wanna know what they actually look like but it might make my brain explode Also I wonder if you can do a video on Mephistopheles, the demon Doctor Faustus sold his soul to
well they could be anything they want to appear, from beautiful or handsome, to something gruesome and terrifying usually the one with ill appearance is the lowest caste of jinn, and the perfect humanoid form with beautiful appearence is the higher caste
They can be anything they want but that's just a shape they want you to see. In the book _ghawr al-umur_ by al hakim al tirmidhi a _tafseer_ and _hadith_ scholar there was a story involving john the baptist(yahya in arabic which also considered as a prophet in islam) and *THE* devil himself(iblees in arabic) where john wanted to see his true form which is not a very good sight to say the least
Do you know what it is when a person can "speak to or over" someone and make their wishes come true??? I keep seeing jinn being associated with evil. But this is a living person who is able to do this and I am wanting to know what that gift is called... the person is not evil. The person has given all they can to everyone that was in their life and wants everyone to be happy.
When I was a Kid my mom pointed me to a Bong and said if I rub it a Genie would come out, And I denied because it didn’t look like the lamp but as I grew up My mom was clueless of what she pointed at she points at random things that look similar and say it is not because she wanted me to use one

The late paranormal expert Rosemary Ellen Guiley has done extensive research into the Djinn. Look for her books on the topic as well as videos on TH-cam with her discussing the Djinn.
as a sunni follower, we were taught that jins aren’t actually folklore/legend/myth. instead, they’re still relevant to this day and is referred as another dimensional being. they are different from syaitan/devil, but just like some humans some jins also decide to follow them and is lost from Islam. and just like humans, there’re variations of religions among them too. in Islam, humans were believed to deal with/recruiting them for personal priorities, usually not for good purposes as it is the same as recruiting syaitannirrajim.

He literally said in the video that they can go to heaven or hell. May be watch the video before posting a comment? Cause I am a Muslim and I did that.
Woah. That is cool info about the jinn. I find it amusing that the villain in the origional Aladdin story is the uncle of Aladdin. That really reminds of Scar. The Lion King was a movie inspired by Bambi and Hamlet. Scar is both the villain of the story and the uncle of the protagonist, Simba. So Scar is clearly based of of the Hamlet character Claudius. Yet I do find that Scar is also lion Jafar. There are strong parrelels. The Lion King is the Disney movie to be released right after Aladdin. Jafar and Scar are both villains. They both are cunning and ambitious. They both have the goal of becoming the monarch and usurping the current one. Both tried to murder the protagonist, because the protagonist had a good chance at becoming the new monarch instead. The two characters even look similar. Both are scrawny. Both have a red and black color scheme. Disney movies with shapeshifting tend to have different forms of the same character have the same color scheme. Maybe it makes the characters more recognizable. Sword and the Stone and Emperor's New Groove are two main examples. This also happens in the animated scene in the Xanadu movie. Aladdin has this trend. Genie can turn into a variety of wacky forms for the sake of his comedy. Yet he usually remains blue. Jafar turns to a cobra and a genie during the climax. He still keeps the red and black color scheme. If Jafar ever turned into a lion, he would look just like scar. There is already a lot of similarity between the two. I thought the uncle part in the video was amusing because that is another connection.
Thank you for this amazing video about the jinn lovely to see it on your channel But for a person like me who know 80% about jinn I’d like to add a few things :- Jinn can be summoned and do your evil work for a price that you need to offer it to them to harm the other ppl I have seen several moments in real life for story’s about there kind So they can work with them for evil But at the same time you can use jinn for good like healing the sick ppl i also know multiple people who are doing that Also for the story of king Solomon who used the jinns for good building his palace in Jerusalem and the wall around his kingdom Back that time king Solomon forbid using any source of magic he order to collect all of the dark magic book from the whole land and he put it under his golden throne and to prevent any jinn to steal because each jinn was tied with a book so he casted a spell on these books to prevent any jinn from taking it and any jinn try’s that it was burned to death many years later after king Solomon was gone all the jinn left without a ruler so the convinced the human to steal a book of the dark magic and they’ll pledge there loyalty to the owner of the dark magic book until no jinn left in Jerusalem from the one who was under king Solomon command

Jinnie is the male , female is : jinniat (female “t” is unpronounceable) with the stress in the n in both , while jinn is plural , Jinn’s babies breastfeeding is up to 12 years , can live up to 1000 years or more , we believe that they are made of negative energy, electrons , though.. there are always kind jinn and bad ones
Thanks
I don´t know many muslim people, so may I ask you, are stories like Disney´s Aladdin or I dream of Jeannie offensive? Or is it offensive if a non muslim person writes a story about a western like genie instead of an accurate Jinnie?
Taniart 17 they aren't stories.
Jinns are worshippers of satan.
They mislead you,and are stronger then man kind,but have no knowledge.
They go inside of people's bodies,and attack you (you can see many on TH-cam,or real life)
They are the unseen. However I don't know about genies.
@@stellastar8770 brother Jinns have free will like us humans. they are not necessarily evil nor good. there are Muslim Jinn as well. most are followers of iblis and are called shayateen (singular shaitan). Humans can become one of the shayateen too, if they become his follower.
@@stellastar8770 no all jinn are not evil. They have free will like humans. There are good and bad jinn just like there are good and bad humans. Satan is an evil jinn.
@@taniart1710 not at all ! It’s originally from arabic mythology jinns aren’t wise and nice in reality they are so limited , but it’s only offensive if someone make stories about god and prophets … jinns are just ordinary creatures like humans but made of energy , you can’t be offensive by writing stories about people.. same 😄
As a Muslim ,I salute you on the amount of research you put into this..I Aldo would like to add tht it is believed tht jinns have their own religion as well , there are Christian jinn , jew and muslims..
Djinn were some kind of pre-Islamic Gods?
@@matiasdelgado7011 not gods but other powerful beings who live in a different dimension than ours . ..so we can't see them or sense them ...they have their own lives , families, cities, religion and they will face a judgement day as well ... In Islam we believe in one supreme limitless God (in Arabic the word for God is Allah) who created humans from clay and Djinn from fire ..both beings were created to worship Allah during their lifetime and will be judged on their sins and go to heaven or hell in the afterlife
@@hadirmaamouri4204 of course we call him as Yahwe because Im catholic and we are abrahamanic. But before Mohammed existed politheism in Middle Orient and I never knowed abouth if jinn were that pre islamic gods or if that gods were like the nordic aesir and vanir or the Babilonian deities. I only knowed a little abouth three godesses and some principal god over them.
@@matiasdelgado7011 I had never heard of them either other than in Islam
@@matiasdelgado7011 You have mixed up a few things here, mate.
1. Jinns are not gods but one of the creations by the Almighty(swt). These entities are called by some as ghosts, sprits, ghouls, demons and even unwittingly as gods/goddesses by some who gets deceived by them as their wellwisher and worship them as local guardians or deties and then introduced in the folklore making it's way to their respective mythology.
2. Jinns are of many types and reside in tribes and have inhabited the world from before the Mankind i.e. Adam/children of Adam(a.s). The satan is a jinn. The Evil one. Other Abrahamic people refer to the jinn simply as demons or sometimes as a Fallen Angel. But the difference between a jinn and angel is that Jinns have free will like Humans and can be both good or bad unlike the Angels who are ever obedient to Allah(swt).
3. Acc. to Islam, the satan is a jinn who was a servant of God but disaobeyed God by refusing to pay respect to Adam(a.s), as a creation, as he believed that Adam(a.s) created from clay is much inferior to him who has been created from smokeless fire. So before facing the warth of the Almighty he asked for respite until the Day of Judgment and so that he can prove his case by leading Mankind astray. And God granted him permission except for those who seek refuge in the Almighty (swt).
I think supernatural's version of the jin was really scary. Where whatever your wish was you got it. But you don't realize that you're just unconscious and the jin is slowly eating you alive and your wishes are just figments of your imagination while you slowly descend into death.
that's definitely not how djinn works 😂
basically you make a deal with them, and you have to pay the "currency" the worst is the one that use other people's life. either as a target or as collateral.
It was really scary 😦
Great fiction but it's like Calling a Dracula Undead. It doesn't make sense.
@@ruuoxi Actually your idea is even worse.. what mia said actually makes sense cuz jinns will suck ya lifeforce the more you give into them but you also make sense cuz jinns are different

As arbian you got a lot of things right but here is a little correction jin is not used to describe angel but it might be used for demons as you said
I am a muslim and i have never heard of them being exiled from earth
@@faizmehmod3062 I think so too. They were not exiled from earth, but they were no longer the owners/keepers of earth. Humans took that role as Allah has made it so.
@@faizmehmod3062 they were exiled from their lands to faraway places, like the sea and desert, I think. There was a war between them and angels. And that’s how Iblees came to reside amongst angels and learn from them and be as pious as they were until the creation of Adam and his disobedience of Allah. Some stories tell that Iblees was taken as a child in that war. And that is why in the Quran Iblees was amongst the angels even though he was not an angel himself.
@@Hebiscus998 First thing first, this is an Arabian folklore. Not all Arabs was muslim. And to my knowledge the war before times was the angels and something else, not from a djinn kind. They spread destruction over the world at that time. So Allah send the angels to defeat them. And amongst the djinn that there's one most pious and strong djinn by the name of Iblis, stood up and fight for the cause of Allah. By so he was rewarded to stand by the ranks of the angels. These unnamed creatures was truly extinct, and their whole history even their names were lost and ended there. But what do I know. Allah knows best.
@@kemski7665 I’m a Muslim and I never heard that story you told. I was taught that Iblis and the angels had a war to against the jinn because the evil jinn were causing corruption on the earth. The angels and Iblis fought them and defeated them and forces them to move to far away lands (if I recall correctly). I didn’t learn anything of any “unnamed beings”.
As we are the children of earth, the Djinn are the children of fire.

But they are everywhere 🤔
@@lindamaemullins5151 Technically yes sice thery are a type of spirit.
@Padishah Aurangzeb Alamgir How though?
Yes, but they are from the Arabian Lore, NOT Middle Eastern Lore; they come from pre-Islamic Arabia. The Middle East is a vast region housing many smaller regions/countries that have their own distinct cultures and ethnicities, including Arabian, and other cultures/ethnicities like Levantine, Turkish, and Persian.
@@BamItzAziz Thanks for that.
hey there, middle eastern here.
I wanna add few pieces of information about Jinn, my ancestors practiced witchcraft and dealt with Jinn to the point that they ran a business through it (we don't do it, plus it's so illegal that you'll immediately get executed. however I know how to in case you're curious). I know there is no reason to believe anything I say since I'm a random person in the comment section, so it's up to you lol.
it's true when you said that Jinn can't be physically killed, but there are ways to kill them.
the first method is by the Quran or the Christian and Jewish bible and this is only in extreme cases of possession when the Jinn refuses to leave the body. I know many people will disagree because those two changed over the course of time, but they're still holy books and do have an effect.
The second method is by another Jinn, usually when a Jinn breaks the Jinn law of possessing a human or showing themselves to a human (there are probably other reasons too since the Jinn all share different types of law based on tribes) they will be executed, which is why most stay inside the human body.
Now not all Jinn are evil, just like humans, some are good and some are bad, also many have different religions such as Islam, Christianity, and Jewdisim, among others.
There are more than 3 types of Jinn actually, first you have the fire, water, earth, and wind types (yes insert avatar joke).
Those are the most common types, and each type is very different than the other to the point that when you do a spell, you need to know which type to invoke in order for them to carry out the spell (i use the word spell loosely here but its mainly the jinn doing what you want, like harming someone, having them love you, etc. "spell" is just more specific).
As far as I know, only the earth type lives among us, as the wind Jinn lives in high mountains, and the water Jinn lives in the sea.
There is also a type that lives specifically in your house, those are called "the inhabiters", roughly translating the name lol. Those take the image of the people who live in the house, a perfect replica, except they are "mirrored", for example, if you're right-handed and have a mole on your right cheek, then the jinn that looks like you is left-handed and has a mole on their left cheek.
Those are good Jinn, they exist only to inhabit the space that overlaps where your house is so no other Jinn or demons would be able to live or even visit. They are so good that many witches need to force them out of the house in order to do a spell or summon a Jinn because "the inhabiters" would prevent the Jinn from visiting, thus nullifying the spell. And the only way to kick them out is by abusing the Quran and literally "burning them" so they can leave, once the spell is done, they are summoned back into the house (if you don't summon them then you are screwed lol)
I don't have a lot of knowledge about the other types because even Jinn fear and avoid them, my great-grandma worked as a "witch" (btw you are not born a witch, anyone can become one lol) said that the other types of Jinn act more like animals, they don't think, they just act out based on instinct and many don't even have a shape. Through all my research into my family's old "business", I couldn't find much information on them.
All Jinn can shapeshift into animals and humans btw, however not all can, it requires a lot of skill to do so, and only older and powerful Jinn can do it, and even then it's not a perfect shapeshift. due to the nature of jinn being born of smoke (or the tip of the flame as some might suggest), the shape they take almost always has a flaw.
most of them just possess animals since its less taxing than possessing a human (puts a lot of stress on them and the human, they feel like being suffocated)
As far as i know, there are three reasons why a jinn would possess a human, it's either that the human harmed the jinn willingly or unwillingly (going to their home and vandalizing it for example), the Jinn was summoned and was told to do so or the Jinn is in love with the person (those are a whole other story lol). Also, a Jinn can't say no to something when they are summoned, the whole "deal" thing between a human and a Jinn isn't actually all that true, while there are some extremely rare cases to why a Jinn would willingly want to help a witch out, almost all Jinn summoning is forced upon the Jinn and is basically a threat to them "do this for me or I'll burn you lol"
you might be asking "why doesn't the jinn fight back?"
If a witch protects itself properly, then they can't be harmed. The irony here is that all witches are condemned to an eternity in hell, all use the holy book to invoke and protect themselves from the Jinn.
There is a part that I really want to shed some light on, the reason why humans can't see Jinn is actually due to the king of Jinn asking god that he doesn't want his race to be seen by humans, there is no mention of a war between humans and Jinn actually. when I double-checked this fact, i was surprised to see that it was a very widespread rumor online, even in Arabic forums.
I really enjoyed your video and found it to be super fun and interesting, I really hope you don't take my comment as a negative thing, I just really wanted to share some info seeing how interested you are in stuff like this.
I can share more detailed information about them if you like, but It's a lot lol.
stay safe and take care!
That was incredibly informative, I genuinely enjoyed reading that. However I would like to raise a few points:
a) When you use the term witch do you not mean sorcerer? A witch/warlock practices dark arts. There are various magic practices I'm pretty sure you mean something else. Maybe it's translation?
b) From my knowledge the jinn kings are a bunch of demonic buggers so maybe you could specify the name? There are superhumans in various myths I'm pretty sure it was possible for us to go to war with them...
Also...you could just use goetia to bind the jinn (if you're a witch). You don't need to limit yourself to a holy book. I think only priests and theurgists/clerics use that. First I'm hearing of your account...
I’m very interested as I may be aquatinted with some 🤔
Thank you,unfortunately got tricked into oiji boards etc.
@@humanity600 to answer your part A, I think they mean someone who uses magic.
fun fact: the word for "Crazy" in Arabic is "Majnun" which comes from being possessed by a Jinni.
I love the idea of Djinn creating storms like you mentioned. That people back in the day used to think that storms were actually the product of multiple Djinn battling each other. That idea is so cool.
I grew up on djin stories my father used to tell me about the encounters he had and some of my uncles too. What is so scary about a djin is how they can shapeshift into anything really but there is always a flaw in their disguise so subtle and once you notice it you are done for, the only thing you have then is faith and the holy quran. My grand father allah rest his soul once told me a story about finding a sheep and he decided to carry it home and as he was walking with it, it started getting heavier till he heard it speak from the back of his ear asking if it's getting too heavy.... also once my dad was by the river side and saw a humanoid creature with no genitalia who quickly jumped in the river and never resurfaced. We also have a story about a djin that turns into a dog in this big vineyard who'd hunt you down with mighty speed and force foe years no one could walk through it at night.
P.s: i am from Morocco.
I am not muslim, but that is fenomenal story, i really like arabian culture

The jinn of the ring is actually quite humble from what I recall.
Anyway, the takeaway from the story is that jinn or genies generally are not able to just teleport things or make gold spring into existence, so when the genie of the lamp moves the castle and all therein it actually picks the whole place up.
That means that Fairy Odd parents got the tricky version of a genie (Norm the Genie).
Amazing editing as usual. 😲👌🔥💯

After seeing someone ‘possessed’ back in my home country, it’s best to leave Djinn alone. Well it could’ve just been a seizure but I wasn’t taking my chances and ran home!
People like you that still believe in stone age mythologies are why the world is still in trouble.
Also, YOU ran away from a person that needed help because of a "Jinn".
I wonder how Allah will look upon someone who abandoned someone in need? Better hope that wasn't a test...
@@Facetiously.Esoteric Religion teaches that Jinn are selfish and unpredictable. They can be of enormous use, but they believe in nothing but themselves so should be kept on a very short leash. The lamp is an analogy for a gilded cage; Genie equals Genius.
Exorcism was designed to cleanse people spiritually. You can look at it as an early form of mental health care if you must. The whole point was that a lesser-jinn (a shit stirring arse hole) had poisoned somebody's mind and created a demon within them. The spiritual cleansing addresses that through mental trauma and even a little pain if necessary; circumstances that promote the rewiring of the patients mental faculties.
That's crazy. When I had a seizure one time a shadow figure came out of the t.v and sat on me preventing me from moving. I have seen this figure since I was a child, it knows my name.
Well done. I found in my research on Solomon and Asmodeus (which I believe you covered at one point as well) that Asmodeus, who we would typically call a demon, is a djinn known as “sakhr” (meaning rock, as Solomon traps him in a rock.)
Oooo! Yes I am time!!! NOTIFICATION SQUAD.

Angels are not jins. May be you misinterpreted the sources due to translation error which isnt a big deal really.
But just fun fact the three races are made from different elements with different properties:-
1. Angels (Malik) From Light
- Magic (or miracles): Powerful
- Free will: None (They are incapable of disobeying God)
- Intelligence: Medium
2. Jinn: From Fire
-Magic: Not as versatile as Angels
- Free will: Present
-Intelligence: Low (compared to the other 2 races)
3. Humans: From Dust
-Magic: None
-Free will: Present
-Intelligence: High

There is a most excellent story in a book called "Mainly In Moonlight" by Nicholas Stuart Grey titled "The Relictant Familiar" that includes: a daemon, 2 sorcerers, a Jinn, & an mideastrn princess that really shows the difference. If anyone's interested.
Some things that I think are wrong in this video, speaking as a Muslim who has done a fair bit of research into my religion. Jinn are like humans, they have free will, they have needs and wants. Angels don’t have free will or needs. Angels and jinn are not the same.
I just googled that today. Wow, what a nice coincidence.
I remember it being spelt Djinn. Though that may be my Ninjago showing.
Djinn is the plural, Djinni is the singular. However, they've also been spelled Jinn and it's from that the J became a G and spelled as Genie
Djinn is romanized spelling. The "D" signifies a hard "J" sound. For that sound we don't have a letter in English so we just add "D" before the "J".

Jinn are terrifyingly awesome
I kinda wanna know what they actually look like but it might make my brain explode
Also I wonder if you can do a video on Mephistopheles, the demon Doctor Faustus sold his soul to
well they could be anything they want to appear, from beautiful or handsome, to something gruesome and terrifying
usually the one with ill appearance is the lowest caste of jinn, and the perfect humanoid form with beautiful appearence is the higher caste
it is said that they are so scary looking that if they look at themselves in the mirror they'll break it because they cant look at themselves
They can be anything they want but that's just a shape they want you to see. In the book _ghawr al-umur_ by al hakim al tirmidhi a _tafseer_ and _hadith_ scholar there was a story involving john the baptist(yahya in arabic which also considered as a prophet in islam) and *THE* devil himself(iblees in arabic) where john wanted to see his true form which is not a very good sight to say the least
Here from Morocco. I can assure you, they really do exist. And we try to avoid them at all costs.
Do you know what it is when a person can "speak to or over" someone and make their wishes come true??? I keep seeing jinn being associated with evil. But this is a living person who is able to do this and I am wanting to know what that gift is called... the person is not evil. The person has given all they can to everyone that was in their life and wants everyone to be happy.

as a sunni follower, we were taught that jins aren’t actually folklore/legend/myth. instead, they’re still relevant to this day and is referred as another dimensional being. they are different from syaitan/devil, but just like some humans some jins also decide to follow them and is lost from Islam. and just like humans, there’re variations of religions among them too. in Islam, humans were believed to deal with/recruiting them for personal priorities, usually not for good purposes as it is the same as recruiting syaitannirrajim.
Sunni or a shia . A jinn is real and are always relevant . So there is no need to mention what sect of Islam you follow
Nice video as always.
In this video you said "the jinns inhabit the earth before Adam and the first people".
My question is who are the first people?
The first people are those mentioned in the Bible as people who came across Cain at some point. They saw his mark. Nobody can explain their existence, they seem kinda fake tbh.
@@Rahil-m I was referring to those people unrelated to Adam and Eve's family. Those characters are really misterious because The Bible doesn't mention their creation. I was assuming @joshua simon's question was about them.
@@Gabriela_Tyler Jinns are a part of Islamic stories. Don't bring your Christian stories here and say that's a fact. 🙄
@@EspeonMistress00 Hey, smart ass, I wasn't talking to you, I was responding to the main comment but then again I can say whatever I want and state it as a fact and no god or human for that matter can tell me what I can't do/say. Got it????
@@Gabriela_Tyler Wellll, then I guess we Muslims will have to write our myths as facts in other videos as well. What say?
Good 'take' on the mythology. Thanks for the history lesson, too.
Not every Djinn is evil.
@@golden1713 well in Islam there have been known to be law abiding religious jinns
He literally said in the video that they can go to heaven or hell. May be watch the video before posting a comment? Cause I am a Muslim and I did that.
@@EspeonMistress00
Nobody's perfect. People can make mistakes and miss things, so cut it with your smartass responses.
@@twistsnkicks Says the guy to tried to look like a smartass by repeating what's in the video.
Great video mythology and fiction
You would think Aladdin's wife would've learned her lesson the first time around.
Woah. That is cool info about the jinn. I find it amusing that the villain in the origional Aladdin story is the uncle of Aladdin. That really reminds of Scar. The Lion King was a movie inspired by Bambi and Hamlet. Scar is both the villain of the story and the uncle of the protagonist, Simba. So Scar is clearly based of of the Hamlet character Claudius. Yet I do find that Scar is also lion Jafar. There are strong parrelels. The Lion King is the Disney movie to be released right after Aladdin. Jafar and Scar are both villains. They both are cunning and ambitious. They both have the goal of becoming the monarch and usurping the current one. Both tried to murder the protagonist, because the protagonist had a good chance at becoming the new monarch instead. The two characters even look similar. Both are scrawny. Both have a red and black color scheme. Disney movies with shapeshifting tend to have different forms of the same character have the same color scheme. Maybe it makes the characters more recognizable. Sword and the Stone and Emperor's New Groove are two main examples. This also happens in the animated scene in the Xanadu movie. Aladdin has this trend. Genie can turn into a variety of wacky forms for the sake of his comedy. Yet he usually remains blue. Jafar turns to a cobra and a genie during the climax. He still keeps the red and black color scheme. If Jafar ever turned into a lion, he would look just like scar. There is already a lot of similarity between the two. I thought the uncle part in the video was amusing because that is another connection.
Thank you for this amazing video about the jinn lovely to see it on your channel
But for a person like me who know 80% about jinn I’d like to add a few things :-
Jinn can be summoned and do your evil work for a price that you need to offer it to them to harm the other ppl I have seen several moments in real life for story’s about there kind
So they can work with them for evil
But at the same time you can use jinn for good like healing the sick ppl i also know multiple people who are doing that
Also for the story of king Solomon who used the jinns for good building his palace in Jerusalem and the wall around his kingdom
Back that time king Solomon forbid using any source of magic he order to collect all of the dark magic book from the whole land and he put it under his golden throne and to prevent any jinn to steal because each jinn was tied with a book so he casted a spell on these books to prevent any jinn from taking it and any jinn try’s that it was burned to death many years later after king Solomon was gone all the jinn left without a ruler so the convinced the human to steal a book of the dark magic and they’ll pledge there loyalty to the owner of the dark magic book until no jinn left in Jerusalem from the one who was under king Solomon command
So jinn are like evil fairies and fallen angels or beings with their own vision of morality?
@@matiasdelgado7011 no jinn are “jinn” not evil fairies or falling angels….there’s no such thing as they’re creatures made by god for worshiping god and of course there’s good jinn’s and evil jinn created before the humans and lived in the earth but they committed so many sins so god ordered the angels to kill them so they were banished to the sea’s and the mountains and a lot of them living under the ground they have there own look but you can’t see them you may wonder why well because when god created them he asked there first king for any wishes and the king asked for the jinn kind to have invisibility so no one can see them in there original form BUT you can see them if they disguise to an or something else then you can see it
Actually for a normal human being you can CONTROL them if you follow a specific ritual you can summoned them and control them if it works but it’s very VERY dangerous and I honestly never NEVER recommend you to do it
@@matiasdelgado7011 not angels they are another beings made of smokeless fire. Angels cannot disobey allah but jinns have free will like us
@@monsieurpatate1573 And the fallen angels are the efreet or the ghouls?
@@matiasdelgado7011 i think ifrit and ghouls are kinds of jinns there is jinns that can shapeshift or fly but not all of them can. In islam there is no such thing as fallen angels we believe satan is a jinn and not an angel
Wow! Loving this bro. Thanks!
There is tons of Jiin stories on TH-cam in Persian, Arabic and Turkish.
Any links to them?
@@lilbill7385
These Channels are in Persian, Arabic and Turkish,. Do you speak any of them?

As whole, Muslims in this region belive that Jinns are responsible for all of the paranormal activities around humans,and sprits of dead humans can not have access to living World. Once a human dies his or her Soul enter purgatory. Jinns have different kinds, some important spices of them are shape shifters. There is an ancient city of Jiroft in South East of Iran, its history goes 12000 years very very ancient, people belive one out of five living in Jiroft are Jinns. They are serviants of Malimok Jiin who's manifestation is as an Owl.
Can you talk about Revenants! 🧟♀️🧟♂️
Arent they living undead
@@jashardwallington that and there the “living” embodiment of rage and vengeance! 🙃
DooT
One thing I never understood is how it works with three wishes. Many times, I could split a wish in three or wish myself something worth a hundred wishes. So, would I need to make three wishes, even if the first one grants me all I could ask for?
Thank you for the upload, it's very interesting!
7:03 the three races lived in harmony, then everything changed when the djinn attacked
that cover image is pretty accurate. kudos to whoever drew it.
Since you started a middle Eastern mythology series, why not give us some cannanaite mythology. I recommend kothar wa hasis.
⭐️Commendable research my friend⭐️👍🏾💫
My mom is quite a religious person, so sometimes people come to her for Doa (prayers)...once there was this lady (back when we were living in Malaysia) who came to our house and said her body feels heavy and kinda like being hold tightly by something, my mom read some verses of the Quran and im not shitting you lol we saw this black kinda fog leave the woman's body and it moved around the house in like a super lightning speed and went out the door xD , i mean all this time i thought jins would be like casper or something but turns out these entities are cloud or smoke kind of fog thingy.... oh well my mom sees them alot for some reason, though i never saw them again but that was the one time where i saw it with my own eyes. I actually thought my mom was just trying to scare us when she would tell us about jins.....
And the ghouls are some kind of fallen angels or just mischievous spirits?
Love the graphics!
Ok, I really wish THIS Aladdin story was turned into an animated film. It would be awesome. 😂
There are ones like this. Just the scrips and/or animation isn’t good.
@@Davidofthelost Oh 😂
Well done , I’m impressed by this video . Spot on
Not all jinn evil they liks us good and bad people💖
And by the way evil from then who we called him (Demon)
Yes. They are capable of decision making on their own in texts.😋👌
@@humanity600
Yup 💖
Yeah he mentioned that not all of them are bad.
@@EspeonMistress00
Yes as i'm Muslim that with thinks i believed
Yeah like misunderstood beans
I'm currently reading Legends of the Fire Spirits: Jinn and Genies from Arabia to Zanzibar
So, the moral of the story is... never trust anyone
Including Genshin impact players, they will make you notoriously broke.
