Jinn in the Islamic tradition

Jinn are invisible creatures mentioned many times in the Quran, which devotes a whole surah to them: Surah al-Jinn (72).

According to the tradition, jinn, like humans, are responsible for their actions: some are believers, others are not (Surah al-Jinn, 72:11 and 14). The Quran also reminds us that humans and jinn were created to worship Allah (Surah adh-Dhâriyât, 51:56).

A measured approach

Belief in the existence of jinn is part of the Muslim faith. This does not mean that every difficulty is caused by them. Abdelaziz welcomes each person attentively, without hasty conclusions, and stresses the importance of medical follow-up when symptoms call for it.
