Very humbling revelations Suntou. The Jinn particularly bear a marked  
resemblance to viruses. The known and unknown about them. It is striking. Just  
wondering out loud. Creative loafing perhaps. You and Mbye could be at the cusp  
of cutting-edge science here to share the codes that scientists have been  
baffled by for centuries. Wouldn't that be awesome?!.

Haruna.

Haruna,  you know what, as you know better than me, the scientific world are 
still  working hard to make a break through in many ailments affecting the 
animal  kingdom. there are no answers to some of those problem.
God make it  clear that there are some things we have no understanding of. in 
the mental  hospitals, all the doctors could do sometimes is to make the mad 
people less  violent. they cannot cure them. how do explain those? also the 
whole concept  of depression, what singular issue is responsible for it? this 
are trouble  questions scientist are working hard on.
so it is not only the Jinn  issue that humans are finding difficult to 
understand, many other every day  issues. Like for instance when some people kill or 
commit murder, they confess  to hearing voices. have you ever heard of this 
cases? finally, are we as  humans in complete control of our mind?

Suntou, Mbye,

I am  following your conversation and writhing with ominous glee. Suntou I 
think  our brother Sey is onto som'n. Could Jinns be viruses???? its worth  
further study. Ebola, the Human immuno-deficiency Virus, Bird Flu, Denghe,  
Mad 
Cow, etc. and on account of their mutative attributes (camouflage). I  
wonder!!

BTW, I ain't marrying nobody I can't friggin see. Fire up the  friggin Kiln 
Mbye! What a wonderful weekend!

Haruna.

Thanks Mr Sey for asking this  questions.
I am assuming that you are a Muslim, if i am wrong please  correct me. if you 
are, then i will refer you to certain verses of the  Quran and specifically 
to a chapter talking about the existence of jinns  and how the manipulate 
some 
people.
Jinns are another creation of God  the most high. they came from their won 
ancestor just like we as humans  came from Adam and Eve. Jinns came from a 
creature referred to as Iblis or  the Devil or Satan.
read quran chapter 2 verse 34, chapter 7 verse 11-18,  chapter 15 verse 
31-44, chapter 17 verse 61-65, chapter 18 verse 50,  chapter 20 verse 
116-120, 
chapter 34 verse 20-21, and chapter 38 verse  71-85.
and also chapter 5 verse 91, chapter 7 verses 200-201, chapter 114  verses 
4-6, chapter 20 verse 120, and finally, chapter 7 verses  20,21,27,175.

Brother Sey, read this verses. The quran abundantly warm  mankind against our 
mortal enemy the devil and his off-springs.
now  coming to your questions

1. What dose jinns look like humans or animals  birds ?
truly i don't know how Jinns look like. what is evident in many  hadiths or 
narration of the prophet of Islam is that, Jinns can take the  form many 
creatures, especially dogs, cats, snake, birds and even humans.  there are 
base of 
deception, so they can take a form necessary for them to  be able to deceive 
their targets. those who incant their names can tell us  may be how their 
Jinns 
appear to them. there have been many narration by  people in the Gambia of 
people going mad due to seeing a certain Jinn they  were calling. this is 
best 
known as too leeeya muta (the name as made him  crazy.) quiet a lot of young 
would be marabouts go crazy due to this  phenomenon. so jinn can feel a room 
in a 
Snake form or a big bird very  scary to the caller.
according to other sources, Jinn answer to people with  the right age, so if 
one due to greed wish to have a jinn answer to him,  and his age is below the 
required limit, you may go mad.
the  Ahamadiyas. dispute there being a Jinn, but i would rather believe in  
explanation of the noble prophet of Islam, than the ahamadiya  folks.

2. How do they live and were do they eat and drink like us  ?
some hadiths stated that Jinn, live in a parallel world to us. they dwell  in 
remote places, since we cannot see them, they pick through dirt and  
uncovered food. this is why a strong tradition exist among Muslims to make  
sure food 
is covered and that before night fall, children are brought  indoors. Jinns 
eat and drink in ways God made possible for them but you  can conduct further 
reading in that aspect. in fact there is judo-Christan  explanation of demons 
around as well.

3. Are they Muslims  Christians or whatever?
the quran states that some Jinns are muslims and  some are not. some also 
state that jinn hear the word of god from the  environment they dwell. so if 
they 
become convince about Christianity,  they may adopt it just like we humans do.
4. What languages do they  speak?
i don't know the language they speak among themselves. what is clear  is that 
they communicate with people who invoke them in that person's  language.
5. How comes we can see them and they can see us?
may be you  wanted to say, "how comes we can't see them and they can see us". 
to this  i would say, this is the wishes of God, that i have no answer to. 
God does  what he wills. he made lions, different, tigers, and even we 
humans, 
we  are different. some us are white, some are brown, black and yellow.
6. Can  we marry (husband/wife) jinns and have children with them?
people made  remarks to that effect, there are some narrations that some 
people marry  Jinns. but what the Islamic stand point is that, we are 
forbidden in  
marrying Jinn. we are not the same make-up. they are created form fire and  
we from clay. it is not suppose to happen. i haven't read any text stating  
whether people marry jinns. but it is a common saying in the Gambia that  
some 
people have Jinn woman.
7. Are all jinns wicked towards human  beings?
not all jinn are wicked. the quran states that some Jinn are  Muslims and 
obey the revelation. they come and listen to the recitation of  the quran. 
the 
majority obeys their ancestor the Satan who rebel against  God.
8. if so why do hate us?
i gave the reason for that on mt earlier  thread "our relationship with the 
Satan as humans". 
thank you brother  Sey for asking, i appreciate it. my intention is just to 
clarify a  practise which is chronic in our region. i do not intend to 
tarnish 
or  castigate any one. if we see evil, our intentions should be to remove. 
May  
Allah forgive me and continue to guide us. amen. the errors are  mine.
