Al_Jinn
@thejinnis
After the angels, and before mankind, God made the jinn from fire without smoke, they lived on earth before mankind. Like humans, the jinn can also eat, sleep, marry, reproduce, die, and be good or evil. Satan was one of the jinn and not an angel, as angels are made free from sin and can never disobey God, there were and never will be fallen angels. The evil jinn are known as shayatin, devils, or demons. The gods of ancient times were in fact the jinn. The only person who could control the jinn was King Solomon who was given a magical ring by God, but even he had trouble with a king jinni known as Asmodeus, which brings us to the origin of the jinni of the lamp/bottle/lantern/rings/ect. The jinns helped King Solomon build the temple of Jerusalem, but one day the marid (rebellious) Asmodeus stole the magical ring, and banished Solomon from his own kingdom then tossed the ring into the sea. After 40 days, Solomon found his ring, went back to reclaimed his kingdom and sealed Asmodeus inside a jar with the name of God on it, he then threw into the sea. Centuries later an old and poor fisherman found the jar and opened it releasing Asmodeus from his slumber.
