Investigating the Islamic Concept of Jinn

Author(s) Ms. Aleya Parveen
Country India
Abstract This paper delves into the intricate concept of Jinn in Islam, examining their significance, portrayal, and cultural impact. Based on Islamic theology and literary sources, the research investigates the genesis, traits, and functions associated with Jinn in the context of Islamic belief systems. The dissertation explores the development of Jinn-related narratives, their interconnections with human existence, and the implications for religious practice and cultural understanding, drawing on a wide range of scholarly viewpoints. This research adds to a nuanced knowledge of the phenomena of Jinn within the Islamic tradition by thoroughly examining historical, religious, and cultural settings. It does this by illuminating the varied significance and continuing relevance of Jinn.
I will be answering my research questions through the use of semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire. –
• How are Jinn depicted in Islamic scriptures?
• What is the Muslim perspective on the actual existence of Jinn?
• Have opinions about Jinn changed over the years among various generations?
In order to address two sets of respondents from two distinct age groups—25–35 and 55–65 in rural and urban settings, respectively—qualitative research approaches will be employed.

Drawing on qualitative research methods, the study delves into the cultural, religious, and socio-economic factors shaping individuals' beliefs and attitudes towards Jinn. By contrasting perspectives from town and city dwellers, the research aims to uncover understandings of how urbanization and modernization influence these perceptions. Findings reveal complex intersections between tradition, modernity, and religious interpretation, shedding light on the evolving significance of Jinn in contemporary society.
It also discusses the widely held beliefs about Jinn that are ingrained in Islamic culture and vary throughout generations. The study also focuses on how older and younger members of Muslim communities comprehend and hold ideas, attitudes, and understandings about Jinn. Additionally, it also looks at how modernization, technology development, and exposure to a variety of media portrayals have shaped younger generations' views of Jinn in the current period.
The dissertation adds to a better understanding of the dynamic nature of belief systems across Islamic societies and throws light on how tradition and modernity interact to shape conceptions of the supernatural through a comparative examination of the findings. In the end, this study offers insightful information about the persistence and development of cultural notions about Jinn, guiding conversations about the interplay of religion, culture, and generational dynamics in modern Muslim countries.
