Looks like something got to them first..
Very thoughtful article, so I hope this is helpful. The only thing I know about Djinn I learned from my Dad 40 years ago: Vodka is usually cheaper, finishes cleaner and is always a preferable substitute.
Sounds like something my kids would have made up as an excuse. “It wasn’t me, it was the jinn!”
Wrong! There are numerous examples of humans mightily fearing angels and angels doing great harm.
Numbers 22:31 Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way with his drawn sword in his hand; and he bowed all the way to the ground. 32 The angel of the Lord said to him, “Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way was contrary to me. 33 But the donkey saw me and turned aside from me these three times. If she had not turned aside from me, I would surely have killed you just now, and let her live.”
Once again the koran proves to be nothing but a comic book for retards.
Milk and gin also go together well.
There’s a lot more to the story of the Djinns than that. There is an Islamic and Biblical tale about the three Hebrew kings: Saul, David and Solomon.
When Saul was king, he took against the witches who lived as a community in his realm, and ordered them destroyed or banished. However, he soon found himself in need of their services after the death of the prophet Samuel. So he went in secret to one of the few remaining, the Witch of Endor, for her to conjure up the spirit of Samuel. Bad mistake.
In any event, the witches shepherded or otherwise had a relationship with the Djinn, and with them out of the picture, the Djinn were free agents. And thus they stayed through the reign of king David until the time of king Solomon.
By being granted supreme wisdom, Solomon was also given the ability to control and manipulate the Djinn, and finally decided that they were such a nuisance that they needed to be eliminated.
So he ordered all the Djinni into a group of seven(?) lead flasks, which he then closed, and sealed with his signet ring, before casting them into the sea.
Importantly, not all of the Djinn got caught, but those remaining tended to hang out at graveyards, and Allah would at times smite them with meteorites.
Otherwise, there was another group of things called the Abdala, of whom there is a fixed number, who are about on the same par with humans. But they have a different ‘covenant’ with God than do people, and people are supposed to leave them alone.
People hate the idea of leaving anything alone that they are told to leave alone, however, so from there is a whole bunch of speculation as to what the Abdala might be.
The koran is like Dianetics - a bunch of made up crap. If you want to discuss jinn then you have to discuss giant aliens who bred humans to mine gold.
I want one. I want her to look like Barbara Eden 40 years ago. And really nice.
I think the Prophet was smoking a little dope when he created these creatures. “Wow Allah, that was some good sh!t ... left me seeing Jinns”.
