What are Jinn?
Allah created Jinn from the smokeless flame of a fire. Jinn, like angels, are unseen creatures. Unlike angels, however, Jinn are not sinless and have the potential to disobey Allah. The first Jinn recorded to have disobeyed Allah was Iblis. He was then called Shaytan, and any Jinn who is disobedient to Allah is referred to, in general as a shaytan (satan).
