Here is the understanding on why some people believe that Jinn are Humans beings.
And what stopped the people from believing when the guidance came to them, except that they said: "Has God sent a human (BASHIR) messenger?" 17:94
Say: "If the earth had angels walking about in security, We would have sent down to them from the heaven an angel as a messenger." 17:95
So if Human (Bashir) messenger goes to Human only, then why were Jinn following the Torah before Quran as mentioned in verse 46:30?
Jinn said
They said: O our people, we have heard a Book that was sent down after Moses, authenticating what is between his hands. It guides to the truth; and to a straight path. 46:30
Say, "It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened and said, ?Indeed, we have heard an amazing Qur?an. 72:1
It guides to the right course, and we have believed in it. And we will never associate with our Lord anyone. 72:1
COMMUNITY OF JINN AND INS
And, the Day when He will gather them together [and say], "O community (ma?shar) of JINN, you have [misled] many of INS." And their allies among INS will say, "Our Lord, some of us made use of others, and we have [now] reached our term, which you appointed for us." He will say, "The Fire is your residence, wherein you will abide eternally, except for what Allah wills. Indeed, your Lord is Wise and Knowing." 6:128
And thus will We make some of the wrongdoers allies of others for what they used to earn. 6:129
"O community (ma?shar) of JINN and INS, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?"
They will say, "We bear witness against ourselves"; and the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers. 6:130
O community (ma?shar) of JINN and INS, if you are able to pass beyond the regions of the heavens and the earth, then pass. You will not pass except by authority [from Allah]. 55:33
SIMILARITY BETWEEN INS AND JINN (HEARTS, EYES AND EARS)
And We have certainly created for Hell many of the JINN and INS. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless. 7:179
MEN FROM INS AND JINN
And there were men from INS who sought refuge in men from the JINN, so they [only] increased them in burden. 72:6
HOW WERE THE INVISIBLE JINNS BOUND IN THE SHACKLES?
And [also] the devils [of jinn] - every builder and diver 38:37
And others bound together in shackles. 38:38
Al Jinn is simply the title given to the race of men who descended from Iblis by Allah. Al Jinn as it is found in Qur'an is simply the antithesis to Al Insan which is the Allah given name of the bloodline of Adam.
Two races of men are identified by Allah in Qur'an. One is Al Insan or the bloodline descendants of Adam and the other is Al Jinn or the bloodline descendants of Iblis. Adam was the father of a black race while Iblis may have been the father of a white race.
Al Jinn as described in Qur'an are merely a race of men on Earth who are descended from their first father Iblis.
Al-Hijr 15:26 And indeed, We created man from sounding (dried) clay of altered black smooth mud. 27. And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire. 28. And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "I am going to create a man (Adam) from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud.
They explain this verse to be speaking allegorically.
(This verse says that Allah created Jinn aforetime. They cannot be Human beings.)
Adam his wife and Iblees are told to go down on earth as enemies of one another.
" We said, "ih'biṭū (Go down from it, all of you). Some of you aduwwun (as enemy) to the other in the earth is a dwelling place and a provision for a period." Sura 2/36
"We said, "ih'biṭū (Go down from it, all of you). And when guidance comes to you from Me, whoever follows My guidance - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve." Sura 2/38
"Allah then told them, "ih'biṭā (Get down from it) jamīʿan (all); you are each other's aduwwun (enemies). When My guidance comes to you, those who follow it will not go astray nor will they endure any misery." Sura 20/123
==> Allah then told them, "ih'biṭā (Get down from it) jamīʿan (all); you are each other's aduwwun (enemies)
Key operative: "ih'biṭā (Get down from it) jamīʿan (all)
Now examine the key Arabic words, which makes it clear beyond doubt that Adam, his wife, Iblis and Shayatin (Devils)l were cast down to the planet earth:
Their belief is that jinn are basharan (human beings) and so are l-insāna (Adamites)
Now to where I have a problem with this understanding:
The Quran also mentions that Muhammad was sent as a prophet to both "humanity and the jinn," and that prophets and messengers were sent to both communities.
21:7 And We sent not before you, [O Muhammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message if you do not know.
Now to say that this is proof that Jinn are Humans is a farfetched conclusion. An apple falls on the ground the earth shifted a little bit, therefore it's now moving towards the sun. WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
Based upon this, it is clear that the Messengers to the jinn were from among humans. Rather they used to listen to the human Messenger and they, in turn, convey what they hear from him to their own people as understood from the Qur?anic verses. What matters here is that they are accountable (like humans) whether the Messenger was from the jinn or humans.?
Interestingly, other passages state that Allah sent spirit messengers appearing as men to certain individuals:
49:13 O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).
I do not agree with the understanding that Jinn are Human or that the white race are descendants of Iblees.
30:22. And from His signs is the creation of the heavens and the Earth, and the difference of your languages and your colors. In that are signs for the world.
35:26. And from the people, and the animals, and the livestock, are various colors. As such, only the knowledgeable among God?s servants reverence Him. God is Noble, Forgiving.
Allah tells us that it was He who is responsible for our different appearances and not Iblis interbreeding. Infact if we take a closer look at the Geneology of Skin Pigmentation. The white race came much later on as the pigmentation lightening effect was apparently a gradual process, as populations started expanding to low UV radiation latitudes. You can also have white offspring with two black people. It is called a mutation...
It doesn't make sense at all from any scientific perspective.This smacks inferiority complex. The apartheid was an event that occurred in a fixed time period. There is no justification for taking up this "black are the superior race since we descended from Adam" ideology.
The two are causally linked...Humans have gene pools.
That would include Adam and Eve.
And it becomes even more complicated looking at the DNA of the millions of spermatozoa and the different eggs. It's completely stochastic.
I mean, there are 13 genes which control eye colour alone...
I can understand that Jinn and humans are on the earth. No problems with that.
What we know of Jinn is that;
They see us but we don't see them.
7:27 O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as He got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith.
They are made scorching fire.
15:27 And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.
They can travel to the lower heavens.
72:8-9
They mislead The Children of Adam.
7:22 So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy unto you?"
As to whether they are human or not, I don't think there is enough evidence to show this. So why try to assign a species to them when we don't have enough information to do so? They could be on a different dimension. They could be invisible in some other way. I don't define exact values since I can't know. It is like asking; "how long is a piece of string?"
