General

Jinn, also romanized as djinn or anglicized as genies, are supernatural creatures. An individual member of the jinn is known as a jinni, djinni, or genie . The jinn are made of a smokeless and "scorching fire" but are also physical in nature, being able to interact in a tactile manner with people and objects and likewise be acted upon. The jinn can be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent.

The social organization of the jinn community resembles that of humans; e.g., they have kings, courts of law, weddings, and mourning rituals. One common belief lists five distinct orders of jinn — the Marid (the strongest type), the Ifrit, the Shaitan, the Ghul, and the Jann (the weakest type); though many orders of Jinn may actually exist, and some traditions described them as creatures of different forms; some resembling vultures and snakes, others tall men in white garb. They may even appear as dragons, onagers, or a number of other animals, but the jinn generally assume human form to mislead and destroy their human victims.
