text: what arejinns? are they good or bad? in the quran teaches very different from the bible in translation to jinn. it states that jinn are not fallen angels. they were created from a smokeless flame of fire. the first recorded jinn to be disobedient is iblis.  disbelieving, disobedient jinn and humans are known as shayateen (satans).   according to the islamic faith every human has a partnered jinn. it teaches that you must distance yourself from them. jinn can be delivered from evil and become muslim.  it is possible to have relations with them, but don't to it. it also mentions fortune-teller soothsayer jinn that they can play mind games with you. the mission of jinn is to confuse, whisper false information, confusion discouragement etc....know that jinn can be muslim or shaitaan and are male or female. islam teaches that shaitaan can come to you as human or jinn.
