genies exist?

Answer 1

not in food and drink they don't.

Answer 2

Genie is the usual English translation of the Arabic term jinni, but it is not an Anglicized form of the Arabic word, as is commonly thought. The English word comes from French génie, which meant a spirit of any kind, which in turn came from Latin genius, which meant a sort of tutelary or guardian spirit thought to be assigned to each person at birth (see genius). But this has nothing to do with the jinn of Islam, as this might suggest. The Latin word predates the Arabic word jinni, and the two terms have not been shown to be related. The first recorded use of the word in English was in 1655 as geny, with the Latin meaning. The French translators of the Arabian Nights later used the word génie as a translation of jinni because it was similar to the Arabic word both in sound and in meaning; this meaning was also picked up in English and has since become dominant.

Amongst archeologists dealing with ancient Middle Eastern cultures, any mythological spirit lesser than a god is often referred to as a "genie", especially when describing stone reliefs or other forms of art. This practice draws on the original meaning of the term genie for simply a spirit of any sort.

Answer 3

According to the islamic faith Djinn means mischevious spirit, it does not mean that they all are. they are effectively another form of life. All of the 'revealed religions' were sent to earth for mankind and Djinn both. They were made from the tongue of flame but are not fire per se. There are 4 forms of life according to the faith - Angels, man, jinn and the animal kingdom. Djinn have a form of conciousness, though not as developed as man - but they are long lived and do live many more times the lifetime of man. They live in dark places under rocks or far away from men. There are around 6 Djinn to every man and they can be very dangerous - but are not inherently evil (or good) by a long stretch. There are urban legends along the northern borders of Pakistan & Afghanistan of Djinns having married men and / women - so they are veiled from sight but not always (possibly only when they wish to be). They live very much like we do - have very cosmopolitan communities but there seems to be an implication that they live more along feudal lines. We live on the material plane - angels on the supraformal plane & Djinn on the temporal plane - the nearest equivelent being the sea. I could tell u lots more but, if ever u chance to walk into a muslim bookshop - look for the 'book of Djinn' - it contains all of the passages from the Qu'raan relating to Djinns and hadith (accounts of the life of the Prophet) with footnaotes and explanations Oh - and according to the muslim faith the devil is not a fallen angel - but a fallen Djinn who was accorded the status of the 4 arch-angels. One cannot deny the existence of Djinns and be a Muslim at the same time - its a tenet of faith!! Funnily enough - this is the reason why the exorcist is such a scary movie for muslims - the creature is not a demon - but a djinn
