Jinn (Genie) are a creation made by Allah from fire whereas human beings are created from clay. Although they are invisible to human eyes, Jinns can see us and they can take the form of humans, animals or objects (Shape-shifting) and can have specific supernatural abilities. Like human beings they are also entrusted with responsibilities (careers, family life, etc) and are required to profess and practice Islam. They too will be rewarded for their righteousness and will receive punishment for their wickedness. Some practice Islam and do good whilst others deviate towards Shaytaan and evil.
