I have heard, so what if a jinn wants to read namaz, like us jinns have been created for worship!

Now satan on the other hand like Irf said needs it but as if he is goin to pray, he's too busy tryin to sidetrack us from prayin, so we can safely say its just a silly myth!

Are Jinn considered lesser or greater and humans?

Can Jinn go to heaven?

Depends on the jinns faith, you get good/bad jinns just like humans so some can be greater than humans and others cant.

Humans and jinns have been created for the same purpose - to worship Allah (swt)

Jinns can go to heaven.

Islam is a religion for man AND Jinns.

I'm sure man is considered better then jinn?

That is if you have good men and good Jinn, I think she is saying the good ma is higher.

of course a good Jinn is higher than a bad person.

So I think.

Angel — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 - 14:55

I personally think if we humans and jinns are created for the same purpose then we shall get the same punishment/rewards.

Also jinns face the same obstacles as us dont they? :?

MuslimSister — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 - 14:58

Yes a good man would be higher then a good jinn.

The Prophets of the past had Jinns under their control. Prophet Solman (AS) made the Jinns build that Mosque in Jerusalem.

And I read somewhere that Jinns are scared of humans.

i thought it was the other way round...as we have to seek protection from the harm of the jinn

[quote="shawana"]

true...every individual among the sons of Aadam alahi salaam has a jinn who has been appointed to be his companion.

Yeah. Apparently it was the custom of the pagan Arabs to fear jinns and take refuge in them.
