Series on semi-abstract faces or face of Djinn or Genie
THE jinn ( Arabic : جِنّ ǧinn , singular جِنّي ǧinnī ; sometimes transcribed jinn) are supernatural creatures in pre-Islamic Arabian mythology and later Islamic theology and mythology. Jinns are not a strictly Islamic concept; they may be an example of a pagan belief that has been incorporated by Islam .
According to the Quran, they are endowed with free will (and will be judged with humans on the Day of Judgment), invisible to the human eye, and are created of smokeless fire.
They can take different forms (vegetable, animal, or anthropomorphic). They are capable of spiritually and mentally influencing mankind (psychic control: possession ), but do not necessarily use this power .
