on the understanding of jinn (genie) in the context of religious sources and
culture. As it is known, there is a lot of verses in the Qur’ </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ā </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">n about jinn. However, the fact of jinn and its qualities are not
discussed in the sources of tafs </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ī </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">r. It is of vital importance for the believer to understanding of the Qur’ </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ā </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">n which sent by Allah. We have addressed this issue in order to
contribute to the understanding of the Qur’ </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ā </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">n as authentic. To true understand a subject belonging to the Qur’ </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ā </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">n is to preserve the integrity of the subject and to observe the
historical and cultural atmosphere to which the verses relate. For this reason,
we have mainly used religious sources such as the Qur’ </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ā </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">n and hadiths, and secondly, the Arabic culture. </span> The result we have
reached is this: the Qur’ān used the expression
of jinn as adjective noun. Therefore, in the Qur’ān, the expression of jinn is one of two alternatives:
Physical existence with unrecognized senses and transcendent beings. However,
as the jinn of Solomon the Qur’ān has also used the
expression of jinn in the sense of strangers and craftsmen (priests,
astrologers and ingenious masters), based on Arabic cultures from time to time <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">. </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:justify;margin:3pt 0cm;"> <b>Summary: </b>  <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">The Qur’ân generally makes
allusions to entities and personalities related to the adjective-noun uses.
This understanding is crucial for our conceptions of jinn (genie) which may
play a role in the characterization of the issue depicted here and which is not
a diagnosis of the senses by an adjective, jinns can be identified as either
symmetrical entities which refer to the beings that are therefore not
constituted of a single copy of the goblin expression which could not identify
any presence. The Qur’ </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ā </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">n and
Hadith, analysing the technical expressions, such as bacteria, microbes,
viruses, micro-organisms as ultraviolet, along with infrared rays radiation
such as transcending place and time, aliens touch on these entities
intermittently; The Holy Prophet will be invoked in the sense of historical
information within the context of the verses that seem to support this view in
his practice; we provide here a portion of the meaning; but the jinn mentioned
in Islamic literature is well understood, especially people who are corrupting
entities they are deprived of the physical follow-up; abstract entities that
can be observed in our world of the mind. The etymology of the expression used
for centuries, starting from the effort, despite being not understood, figures
out the subject of vague and preserves the mystery of jinn and lighting, pointing
to the truth of the statement will try to figure out what it is like. </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:3pt 0cm;"> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">Expansion of the subject: In
Islamic culture, it is believed that jinns are secret beings who are not
recognized by the senses, who are obliged to comply with divine orders like humans,
and there are among them Muslims and infidels. Of course, there are a number of
hadiths and Qur’ </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ā </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">nic verses supporting this
belief. However, when it is taken into account of the hadith and the use of the
cultural language of the verses of the Qur’ </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ā </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">n, it is
understood that genies are the unseen beings that senses cannot perceive.
However, from time to time it can be said that foreigners, craftsmen,
astrologers and soothsayer are also meant by the expression of jinn too. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:3pt 0cm;"> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">A necessary corollary that can be
derived from the aforementioned postulates is that the Qur’ </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ā </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">n used
the expression of jinn as adjective noun. Therefore, in the Qur’ </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">ā </span> <span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">n, the
