Translation of `Jinn`

peace
I explained to you, we do see physical signs of God. The existence of God even makes sense logically.
Unless we have some sign of these beings, I can't accept the idea of their existence.I've been a bit frustrated lately because it seems people can't understand where I'm coming from or what I'm getting at, and that might've been reflected in my posts. I apologize. angel

I went myself and studied every single verse in where the jinns are mentioned. And this is the understanding i came to. I like to take my time deciding, and i tried to do that. I still didn't see the metaphoric view.

peace jm
thank you for the link, give me some time to study it fairly and i'll get back to you. I have glanced at your debate with Ahmed.
But I cant judge something i dont know thoroughly.

Peace,
Whatever happened to my article? Jinns are not one thing, it is a description of an attribute just like the term 'walking being'. To make it a title as 'human' is ignorant. It cannot be one thing, just like 'walking being' doesn't denote one thing but everything that walks. The same is with the term 'jinn' which literaly means 'something not seen/rarely seen'. Can that description mean one thing only? Hell no. That is why the people who try to make 'jinn' a title for one thing only always gets trapped as the title cannot fit every verse where 'jinn' is used. When will people wake up!
The invisible beings idea doesn't fit because God talks only about messengers who are human, why would He send a book that is meant for humans AND jinns if there is no story in there that is related to them? Where are their prophets and books mentioned? And that jinns are only emotions or fantasies also doesn't fit, because in many verses it are beings which are called jinns, live beings. So there is no side to choose. Jinn is NOT a title, it doesn't mean one species.
Please people wake up.....
Here is my article again, it is not perfect yet, but it is a lot better then this bickering about which thing jinn exactly is. Wake up people...i'm going to bed....

It went for a walk while you were sleeping.

Whynot the that means so.

Why do you want to impose your opinion.

Peace be upon you Arnold,
I finally read your article. You did a good job and I agree with most of it. Jinn means "hidden/concelaed from sight", thats for sure. But I have different understandings of some of the other concepts that you tied in to this.
One thing I wanted to point is was
All these are true attributes of our ego, desires and strong emotions, the destructive side of man, as doubt, animosity, greed, hate and anger. That leads us astray. These are concealed attributes of our consciousness, and hard to control.
The underlined portion leads us to the understanding that the "jinn" are part of the SUBCONCIOUS, the hidden/energetic part of man, which you correctly likened to a garden.
Regarding "ins" and "jinn", This only means visable and hidden. When we reasd that there are "shayteen" from the VISABLE and HIDDEN, it means that our thoughts/images (hidden) and ACTIONS (visable) both display opposition to the God.
Musa's stick was found moving/shaking like that which is hidden. That which is hidden in the subconcious are ENERGIES (made of smokeless fire) and energy moves in a WAVE, just like a snake. This is a very old metaphor which was used as far back as Khamit(Egypt), which is why they had snakes on thier foreheads.
I disagree with jinn ever meaning some tribe or army, as they are both visable. All instance point to the hidden faculties of the subconsious, the energy part of being that is hidden.
Lastly, the understanding of JANNA (the hidden garden) and the trees being "deeds" or "ideas" is good.

Peace,
Thank you kyle for your feedback. As for jinns also refering to strangers, tribes, leaders, highly intelligent people and so on, is because their origin is jinn for you. Jinn also refers to something beyond the horizon, as it refers to legends being beyond the horizon of time.
Strangers were also called jinn, as their origin is jinn/not seen. People like einstein would have been called jinn, as their potential is also beyond the horizon for most of us. Jinn has more nuances then just meaning concealed or not seen. Like if you would visit my country, you would still be an american, although you're not on american soil. Same holds for strangers being called jinn, as their country is jinn, beyond the horizon/not seen. It cannot be just emotions or fantasies, as multiple times, jinn is used for intelligent beings like sura 72.Peace bro

I mandatory agree with you, jinn is not a metaphysic but someone has a hidden capability, hidden habits, enormous intelligent quotion (120 up). Muhammad can be regarded as jinn as he could manage to implement al Quran within 23 years.

Peace be upon you ArnoldYasin,
Thank you kyle for your feedback.
No problem, sorry it took me so long.

It cannot be just emotions or fantasies, as multiple times, jinn is used for intelligent beings like sura 72.
I would like to go over the verses with you, as I see all verses to work with my position as Hidden Beings, which are personifications of our thoughts and images which are HIDDEN within.

Peace,
Id say "Plasma Beings" where plasma is matter so much heated that its at a point of turning into energy. Such beings could have their own neuronic networks and they would have the possibility to hide and stretch themseves out vastly as well as concentrate themselves back to a particular small volume so as to become vissible. The info while being stretched cld be carried through the carrier waves btw the atoms of the plasma. GOD Bless!
