  • Is everybody Djinn? Is? Every? Body? Djinn?

    The spirit Iblis is a Jinn, which are ischievous?spirits of earth
    who reside in a universe parallel to the human world while maintaining
    the ability to interact in both realms [1]. The Jinn are mortal and
    powerful [2] spirits whose purpose is to tempt and possess (majnun)
    humans [3] by creating illusions (ghurur) that familiarize mankind with
    he eternal fire?of hell [4]. The Jinn in their natural state are too
    horrific for mankind to see, they are highly intelligent, they can
    assume almost any form, and they can do almost anything [5]. There are
    many different kinds of Jinn: there are those which take on the
    appearance of the snake; those which fly ?the winged Jinn; Jinn that
    are giants; insect-like Jinn; Jinn that inhabit dead bodies (zombies);
    and, Jinn that take on human form and, in-so-doing, have the capability
    of converting to Islam [6]. The Jinn live far longer than humans and
    the only way they can be detected is through their evil actions ?deeds
    too atrocious for un-possessed humans to enact [7].

    The
    Jinn are ruled by the one true God [8] who created them more than
    25,000 years ago [9]. The Jinn were created from the earing desert
    wind??called Simoon ?[10] and are subject to the same universal laws
    of Islam that mankind must adhere to; the Jinn are also sent prophets
    bearing God message [11]. However, 25,000 years ago the Jinn began to
    disobey God because they believed themselves to be self-righteous. For
    that reason, God sent his Angels to destroy them [12].

    It was
    during this battle that Iblis was recognized from amongst the Jinn by
    God as  worthy pupil.?Iblis was brought to heaven by God where he
    was instructed by the Angels, and, in turn, as he matured Iblis began
    preaching to the Angels. But, when God created Adam, Iblis refused to
    pay homage; and, therefore, God condemned Iblis to hell; however, God
    also granted Iblis  stay of execution?until the final day of
    judgement.

    At this time the Jinn regrouped on an island in the
    outhern Ocean?and formed their own ation? Iblis left Heaven and
    rejoined them as their ing;?he had a second name: Azazil. Iblis's
    final day of reckoning will come, but until that day comes he reigns as
    king of the Satans ("shaytans? who tempt mankind on earth
    [13].Although he is evil, Iblis is not the Lord of Evil; and, although
    fallen from Heaven, he is not a fallen Angel. Rather, Iblis is a
    "Satan" [14].
