Title: Are Jinn really Bad? Question/Comments: I want to know whether all jinns are bad or some are good also? What is the purpose of their creation? What do they do? Thank you, Ayesha Riaz Answer: According to the Qur'an, the purpose of the creation of Jinn as well as humans is to live a life of obedience, submission, gratitude and reverence towards God. In this regards, there does not seem to be much of a difference between the creation of Jinn and humans. The Qur'an also tells us that, like humans, there are pious and impious members among the Jinn as well. I do not have much information about what Jinn do. I do not know any Jinn, neither would I like to know any. I hope this helps. Regards, Moiz Amjad December 9, 2001
