QuoteWhat about the 'nations' of jinn?
That would be the nation INSIDE of you. Sometimes when you catch someone in TRANCE, and you ask themn a question, they have to shak ethier heads and say "Sorry, I didn't heard you, I was in my OWN LITTLE WORLD!"
QuoteThe jinn talking amongst themselves?
Your inner conversations, non verbal.
QuoteThere are many cases where they are seemingly protrayed as people, they have free will, I'm of the opinion Iblis was a jinn too
Iblis is indeed a jinn. Jinn only means hidden. There are good jinn(malaika) and bad jinn(shayteen). No one on this forum disagrees that Iblis is a jinn. What some disagree to is that Iblis WAS a malaika.

The Gdo will help you if you are patient and maintain the process of learning.
