Title: What is a Jinn ? Question: I would like to know "WHAT EXACTLY IS JINN"?? Thank you. Answer: Unfortunately (or fortunately!!!), I am not in a position, due to my lack of experience of interaction with jinn, to give a precise answer to your question. However, in the light of the information given in the Qur'an, it seems that jinn are one of the creations of God, as are humans, animals, insects and angels etc (and maybe others which we do not know of). The jinn are created of a material, which makes them invisible to man. However, there have been instances of interaction between jinn and man. Furthermore, it is also said that a man, by going through various exercises, can create interaction with this creation of God. Nevertheless, due the lack of first hand experience, I am not in a position to precisely explain what exactly a Jinn is. 17 th July 2000
