Angels, Mankind And Jinn Options

[Jim]

Here is an Islamic perspective on Mankind and the unseen Angels and Jinn.

Angels are beings made of light and are programmed to do Gods work without question. They dont have free will. Angels were created before mankind. Their nature is to serve God, thats it. They do not die nor can they fall into evil.

Mankind are beings made of dust and have free will to choose good and evil, etc. We all know. Our nature is to create and build through our intellect and faculties. We live, procreate and die with a limited life span.

Jinn are beings made of smokeless fire and they were created with free will like humans to do good or evil. The Jinn were created before mankind. They live in a "parallel" universe among humans and their nature is to be mischievous. They are not as intelligent as humans and have no desire to create like humans. They live among dirty and dark places. Some of them are good and some choose evil, like humans. Like humans they too have a life span. They live, procreate and die. Some are Muslims, Jews, Christians, Pagans, etc.

Of the Jinn there is a 'select' group. This is the group that rebelled against God at the creation of Adam, led by 'Iblis' or Satan. He rebelled because God told him to bow and serve Adam while he is on earth. Satan got annoyed and said that he will not bow and serve Adam because Adam was inferior to him. He said, 'I am made of fire and fire can destroy clay'. So, 1/3 of the Jinn followed satan in this belief and rebellion of jealousy and arrogance. God was about to throw in into hell when Satan asked him to give him a chance to prove that he is correct and that mankind will also rebel against God. God then granted his wish and gave him until the End of Time to tempt and test mankind. That means that this 'select' group cannot die like the other jinn. They live until the day of judgment.

A general (not comprehensive) list of verses of Qur'an.

"And I (Allaah) created not the jinns and humans, except they should worship Me (Alone)."� [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56].

"assembly of jinns and mankind! Did there not come to you Messengers from amongst you, reciting unto you My Verses" [al-An'aam 6:130]

"Verily he [Satan] and his qabeeluhu [his soldiers from the jinn or his tribe] see you from where you cannot see them" [al-A'raaf 7:27]

"And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame o fire." [al-Hijr 15:27]

Narrated by Aa'ishah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The angels were created from light, the jinn were created from fire, and Aadam was created from that which has been described to you." (Reported by Muslim, 5314).

Ibn Mas'ood said: “The Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) said, "There is not one of you who does not have a jinn appointed to be his constant companion." They said, "And you too, O Messenger of Allaah?" He said, "Me too, but Allaah has helped me and he has submitted, so that he only helps me to do good." (Reported by Muslim, 2814).

An'ifreet (strong one) from the jinns said: "I will bring it [her throne] to you before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work." One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" "then when (King) Solomon saw it placed before him, he said, ‘This is by the Grace of my Lord" [al-Naml 27:39-40].

“[Some jinn said:] "There are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary; we are groups, each having a different way (religious sects, etc.)" [al-Jinn 72:11]

"but the jinns know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e., they will be brought to account)" [al-Saffaat 37:158]: "They will be brought to judgement." Saheeh al-Bukhaari

Jins, angels and syaitans are not immaterial, Our technology is not advanced enough to catch their substance.
Wait... some people have already able to detect jins with.. "EMP/EVP"(?) as some kind of "frequency" and "heat" havent they?
