قدرات الجن و الإنس و أعمالهم : دراسة مقارنة-في ضوء القرآن الكريم

الملخص EN

This research aims at explaining the differences and similarities between the jinn’s abilities (with a broader sense of demon race) and actions, on the one hand, and human being’s, on the other hand, in the light of the verses of the Holy Qur’an.

The present research is comprised of three sections.

First, it delineated the essential nature of jinn, definition, types, categories, and a description of their shape.

The second section demonstrated the prominent differences between the jinn’s abilities and actions and humans’ in the light of the verses of the Holy Qur’an.

It explained the differences between jinn and humans in terms of speed of movement, transition, precedence in the space fields, eavesdropping on Angels, knowledge of construction and industrialization, having the power to take different shapes, entering the human body, succession, and inheritors on the earth.

The third section discussed the prominent similarities between the jinn and humans in the light of the noble verses of the Holy Qur’an.

It, for instance, focused on Takleefto both mankind and jinn (being bounded by Almighty Allah to commands and obligations), Prophet Muhammad’s mission, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, the similarity between mankind and jinn in marriage, procreation, the presence of offspring, lack of knowledge of the unseen world, death and perishability.

The study found a set of results.

Almighty Allah - Glory be to Him -gave the jinn abilities that He did not give to humans as such speed of movement and transitions.

Jinn preceded humans to the space fields.

They can shift their shapes and they can enter the human body.

They, also, used to be able to eavesdrop on Angels.

On the other hand, Almighty Allah has distinguished mankind by making them inheritors on the earth.

He Almighty has given them succession over it, rendering the entire universe for the exploitation of mankind.

He has endowed mankind with the knowledge of construction and industrialization.
