Jinn are supernatural creatures as mentioned in the Qur'an and often referred to in Arab folklore and Islamic mythology that occupy a parallel world to that of mankind. Jinn, humans and angels make up the three sentient creations of Allah. The Qur'an mentions that Jinn are made of smokeless flame or scorching fire. Like human beings, the Jinn can also be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent.
