THE JINNAAT

The plural of Jinn is Jinnaat. Jinnaat are the creation of Allah Ta'ala made from fire. They are given the power to take whatever shape or form they wish. The mischievous & evil one's are called "Shaitaan". They are like human beings having wisdom & understanding. They have a soul & a bodily form. There are male & female Jinnaat. Jinnaat eat, drink & sleep. They also have children. Jinnaat are invisible creation of Allah Ta'ala. Among the Jinnaat there are Muslims, Mu'min (Believers) & Kaafirs (Disbelievers).

Jinn & human were created for the worship of Allah Ta'ala. Allah Ta'ala says in the Holy Quran: "& I have created the Jinn & the men only for this that they may worship Me". (Surah Zariyat: 56) The Jinnat do not live forever. They eventually die. The Jinnaat used to work at the command of Sayyiduna Sulaiman (alaihis salaam). The Masjid-ul-Aqsa, Bait-ul-Muqaddas, was built by the Jinnaats under the command of Sayyiduna Sulaiman (alaihis salaam). The good deeds performed by Jinnaat will earn them Sawaab (reward). The disbelievers among them will go to Hell & the Believers among them will live nearby Jannat. The Jinnaat will not live in Jannat, because Jannat is the estate of Sayyiduna Adam (alaihis salaam) & it will be distributed to his children (human). The Jinnaat will enter Jannat for Sair (sight-seeing).

He who disbelieves in the existence of Jinnaat becomes a Kaafir.
