    Please be patient, my brother.

    This ain't about "patience" @Java!

    It's Truth vs. lie (again).

    I don't think they're jinns in bottles. This is not like that, I think.

    You're missing the point!
    Genies are fictional characters.

    In the Quran, (&#1722 and (&#1587 are epithets.

    The Gin who listened to the Quran were a furtive group of people, not "genies" (in bottles)!

    Perhaps it rather hard to believe that jinns are entities,
    but perhaps someday you could have different opinion if Allah showed you something about them (to know them more).

    In my opinion, it seems they're just like us, I mean they go through life (they could have family and descendants), and also tested by Allah, there are good jinns and there are bad jinns.

    I recommend you reevaluate your (inherited) understanding ...

      In my drinking days, Gin is a drink

      Replacing drunkenness with superstition doesn't make you a sounder person!

        Bro Dude,

        lighten up, it was a joke

        Peace brother,

        Ah OK! I thought being an ex-scientist you might have witnessed it.
        Thanks for clarifying

          When you look up in the sky, does the moon seem very big to you? Why do you think it is far away and big if you do? What if it is just as tiny as it looks or only slightly larger? What if the moon is actually just in your mind, so that to get to the moon you have to actually get behind your eyes or something.

          Peace brother,

          I didn't say moon looks very big to me, I can swear!
          Yes it could be a little larger that what I see from my naked eye.
          Ahh I got it. You got confused with the image of moon I posted. That was a zoomed image taken with telephoto zoom lens.

            I tend to agree with brother Nabster about jinns.

            For me, it doesn't seem to fit with the Qur'an if I perceive jinn as human.

            Based on reading various things and also my "encounter" (though I never saw jinns myself - I prefer not - not in this life), I inclined to the opinion that jinns are other creatures different from humans, and not all humans have the ability to see them.

            Peace JL,

            To me humans and jinns are two different creations because of 5156.
            But I do respect other's views because they are also honest in their researches. And I expect my Lord will guide them to the right if they are wrong or He will guide us to the right if we are wrong.

            May Allah increase our knowledge and guide us on His path pr

              Nice photos, brother Khan. Thank you for sharing.

              Would you kindly check this out Sun, Moon, Stars, and Planets

              Perhaps you could find something useful for your understanding.

              Salaam.

              Salaam Java,

              You are very welcome.
              Thanks for the link, I will check it out.

                Oh that was horrible. How these people/mullas play in the name of Allah brickwall
                When that mulla was talking to camera, she was sitting normal and then started playing when he starts reciting.
                These people worships jinns and the Book or its aayaat beside Allah. Ma'aazAllah!

                May Allah increase our knowledge and guide us on His path pr

                  Are you sure that a "telephoto lens" isn't actually taking a picture of some little speck on the lens or something? Are you sure in the development of such technologies they aren't some great deception being put up?

                      Peace @FS, @JL, all

                      the ad hominem get commensurate to the disagreements in forums from troll like entities, lol! and I have to confess, I sometimes indulge too

                      Not accepting Jinns as how they are, as described by Quran - which for me is more than belief, but a book of facts where the Creator lets us into some insights and realisations about the unseen we cannot measure or observe for ourselves due to our limitations - puts us in a much vulnerable state as regards to Satan and demons.

                      The power they have is that they can see us and interact with us from whence we cannot see or perceive them, unless Allah wishes otherwise, as He did for Solomon, and some Prophets/Messengers.

                      Now the issue of Angels should be settled, as it clearly states it as an article of Faith to believe and accept they exist. (even then there are some here who use some semantic and linguistic contortions to deny their existence!)

                      For Jinns there are just descriptions, and warnings against the devils amongst them.

                      I will not repeat again the arguments to prove that, there is no point as there is a dogmatism within those who wish to believe it their way along a narrative they settled in that it is too hard to shake, and to be honest, I don't care.
                      I had discussions with Ayman who believe in his fantasy theory with not much success, nor useful to me in gains.

                      This is similar to other subjects such as code 19.

                      If you have an enemy you cannot see, that has more capabilities from you from a position where he is invisible to you, can navigate at much higher speeds and through more mediums than you can, then you are already at a clear disadvantage, now if you add that you decide it doesn't also exist, you are asking to be manipulated without even you perceiving it, a very dangerous position to be in.

                      Now Allah says Angels through His Grace and Him Himself do protect against all evils, inclusive of the evils of the unseen, and that not putting oneself in this protection, through submission and allegiance to Allah makes one vulnerable, and this is what is happening in the world before us.

                      No matter what I write, if you are hypnotised into a narrative, you will only lash out if challenged, with your own set of misconceptions, as Allah says, these are just labels you have named for yourselves, trying to convince others is just assuaging your own prejudice and projecting it onto others.

                                  It's not youtube video which made me likely to believe that jinns are creatures.

                                  And also, I think it's not that easy to 'catch' the jinns. I think people who think that they can control/overpower (or take the advantage of) the jinn/s are actually being fooled by the jinn/s, except the righteous people who by Allah's permission can interact (or even team up) with them, like prophet Sulaiman.

                                  I peacefully leave the choice on you, whether you regard jinn as creature or not.

                                  Peace.

                                        I suppose that verse is quite clear. If the Qur'an does not inform about the jinns, perhaps I'm very skeptical about that.

                                          It's not youtube video which made me likely to believe that jinns are creatures.

                                          And also, I think it's not that easy to 'catch' the jinns. I think people who think that they can control/overpower (or take the advantage of) the jinn/s are actually being fooled by the jinn/s, except the righteous people who by Allah's permission can interact (or even team up) with them, like prophet Sulaiman.

                                          Sorry my sister, but your current understanding of QA. is inherited from Sunnism!
                                          Ie. subjectively acquired (from a false authority).

                                          I peacefully leave the choice on you, whether you regard jinn as creature or not.

                                          I never said that are not creatures!

                                          Again, in the Quran, and are epithets.
                                          One class avoids notice/attention/disclosure ... The later strives for it.

                                          Genies don't exist ... Charlatans do.

                                          Be sound.
