W hen translated into English, djinn means ‘hidden from sight’ or ‘the hidden ones, so naturally there’s still a lot of mystery surrounding them. Anglicized as ‘genies’ and Romanized as ‘djinn, djinn are supernatural creatures (categorized as spirits and demons) that played a large part in Arabian and later Islamic mythology.
A lot of Arabian people worshipped djinn like gods during the Pre-Islamic period, but unlike gods djinn were not regarded as being immortal. Though the exact origin of djinn remains unclear, a number of scholars believe that they began as malevolent spirits of deserts and unclean places who could take animal form.
Others think they were originally pagan deities that fell from grace as other deitles became more important. Djinn may have been worshipped but they were also feared and thought to be the cause of a variety of diseases and mental illnesses, with the mentally ill being described as ‘majnun, Arabic for ‘djinn-possessed.
As far as Islamic theology is concerned, djinn has two definitions, the first being an object that human sensory organs cannot detect, including angels, demons and the

Interior of human beings, and the second being an invisible entity created from smokeless fire by God, who roamed the earth before Adam.
It is believed by Muslims that Muhammad was sent as a prophet to both human and djinn communities. Likewise, ancient Israeli king Solomon was gifted by God to be able to talk to djinn and animals. The story goes that the djinn were originally sent to live in harmony with humans, but a certain amount of injustice and corruption led to God sending angels to battle the djinn. With the revelation of Islam they were given another chance at salvation.
As the Islamic religion developed, the djinn were downgraded from deities to regular spirits. They were placed on the same level as humans and were subject to God’s judgement, and able to attain futures in Paradise or Hell. When Islam began to spread outside of Arabia into Africa, Turkey, Iran and India, beliefs about the djinn also began to develop as they reached different communities.
Persians likened djinn to the Daeva from Zoroastrian lore and believed they could possess humans. Moroccans believed this too and devised rituals to exorcize them. But all depictions of djinn shared certain similarities: they lived in human- like societies, where they ate and drank, practiced religion, had families and experienced emotions.
“I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” — Henry David Thoreau
