What is the nature of the life of jinn, their dwellings, their children, their family life, their prayers, and the burial of their dead? Do religious rulings apply to them? Do they fight among themselves? Do they have racial classifications? Are they affected by natural phenomena?

Jinn are creatures of Allah, obligated by commands and prohibitions just like humans. Among them are believers, disbelievers, and transgressors. Their virtuous ones will enter Paradise, and their evil ones deserve punishment. They marry, procreate, and die. They frequently gather in ruins and places of impurity. The world of Jinn is part of the unseen, and we know nothing about it except what is mentioned in the sacred texts. One should not go to great lengths in researching its mysteries, which can only be known through revelation.
