By the way , yung 'jinn' po ay sa mga fairytales yung po yung sikat na 'genie.' Isa sa mga pinakamalakas ng tribo ng mga nilalang dito . . .
The Different Types Book - "The World of the Jinn and Devils",
p. 7 Ibn Abdul Barr said, "The jinn, according to
the scholars of the language, are of
different types: 1. If one is mentioning the jinn purely of
themselves, the are called jinni.* 2. If one is mentioning the jinn that live
among mankind, they are called aamar
whose plural is amaar. 3. If one is mentioning the ones that
antagonize the young, they are called
arwaah. 4. If one is mentioning the evil ones that
antagonize humans they are called shaitan
for the singular [and shayateen for plural]. 5. If they cause even more harm and become
strong, they are called afreet."** *Notice the similar sound between jinni and
english's "genie". TV and other media have
twisted the concept of jinn; however, it is
interesting to note its origin is from Islam.
"I Dream of Jeannie" is a TV show based
around a Genie (jinni, plural of jinn). In this show, Jeannie, the genie, frequently
was given a request and the requestor never
quite got what was requested as she was
always creating unintentional mischief.
However we understand that the shaitan
among the jinn antagonize humans, not that they are kind beings who accidentally
mess up on occasion. Those who seek aid
(such as asking for favors or making
request) from the jinni will find deception
and a twisted type of aid that doesn't really
meet the requestor's original request, but that satisfies the shaytaanic jinn's desire for
evil. **An Ifrît (strong) from the jinns said: "I
will bring it to you before you rise from
your place (council). And verily, I am
indeed strong, and trustworthy for such
work." [The Noble Qur'an 27:39] Narration - Reported by al-Tahhaawi in
Mushkil al-Athaar, 4/95, and by al-
Tabaraani in al-Kabeer, 22/214 Abu Tha’labah al-Khushani said: “The
Messenger of Allaah said: ‘The jinn are of three types: a types that has
wings, and they fly through the air; a type
that looks like snakes and dogs; and a type
that stops for a rest then resumes its
journey.” [Shaykh al-Albaani said in al- Mishkaat (2/1206, no. 4148): al-Tahhaawi
and Abu’l-Shaykh reported it with a saheeh
isnaad]
