 What is the truth of jinn according to the Quran?

  Jinn literally means hidden and concealed. This word is mentioned in many cases in the Qur'an and there is a chapter with the same name in the Qur'an in which some of the characteristics of this hidden being are stated. According to verses from other surahs of the Qur'an, this being is like a material human being and was created from fire[1]or a mixture of fire[2]. And it is a being with intelligence and will that be covered by human senses due to its nature and cannot be understood by the senses under normal conditions. He is obligated like a human being[3] and it will be resurrected in the hereafter. And in this world, he can be obedient or disobedient, believer or polytheist, etc. And their believers are in the service of Imams (a.s.) and they call believing and Shia people as their brothers.

Although the jinn is weak in terms of intellectual power because his understanding is not rational and strong understanding and is at most imaginary and illusory, his physical strength is high, among other things, he can do extraordinary things at high speed and carry heavy loads in the shortest time.

In the Holy Qur'an, the story of Hazrat Suleiman (a.s.) is when a monster from the jinn claims to be able to move the throne of Balqis from a very far away land in a very short time and bring it to him,[4]Hazrat Suleiman does not deny him.[5]This is the reason for the extraordinary power of demons.

[2] - Rahman, 15: " وخلق الجان من مارج من نار "; and created the jinn out of a flame of a fire.
