Based on what?
The Qur'an?
Yes.
The Qur'an isn't a history book, and it isn't a science book.
It is the Revelation from the Lord of all that exists, The Most High, The Most Great, over His creation in a manner that suits His Majesty, Allah.
And it is unreliable, not only because it is book full of false myths, but it is based on pretension that the Qur'an was written by Allah, and it supposedly "perfect".
To the disbelievers.
But leaving that aside, you are made unsubstantiated claims about jinns.
None of that you can prove. It is merely based on your belief that the jinns were "created before mankind".
To the disbelievers.
Can you prove that jinns exist before mankind? How do you know this? Can you prove the jinns even exist?
[Qur'an 51:56] And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).
[Qur'an 2:30] And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Verily, I am going to place (mankind) generations after generations on earth." They said: "Will You place therein those who will make mischief therein and shed blood, - while we glorify You with praises and thanks (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners) and sanctify You." He (Allah) said: "I know that which you do not know."
One explanation is that this may refer to the jinns and the mischief they spread on the earth before mankind, because, Iblees (Shaytaan/Satan) was among the angels before he caused Adam and his wife to 'slip' and be expelled from Paradise.
[Qur'an 2:34] And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves before Adam.". And they prostrated except Iblis (Satan), he refused and was proud and was one of the disbelievers (disobedient to Allah).
[Qur'an 18:50] And (remember) when We said to the angels; "Prostrate to Adam." So they prostrated except Iblis (Satan). He was one of the jinns; he disobeyed the Command of his Lord. Will you then take him (Iblis) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me while they are enemies to you? What an evil is the exchange for the Zalimun (polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc).
I am not talking about you quoting the Qur'an and Hadeeth, because they are not evidences of anything.
Well, if you keep going, this is all you're going to get.
I am asking you to show real evidences of the jinn's existence that are independent of the Qur'an and the Hadeeth. What you believe in, and what you think you believe in from the Qur'an are merely superstitions.
I did, but you rejected it.
[Qur'an 2:121] ...And whoso disbelieves in it (the Quran), those are they who are the losers.
Superstitions are based on fear and ignorance, so they invent stories (stories of gods, angels, jinns, talking animals, etc) of what they believe to be true.
[Qur'an 2:103] And if they had believed, and guarded themselves from evil and kept their duty to Allah, far better would have been the reward from their Lord, if they but knew!
And how do you know the jinns weren't invented by superstitious pagan Arabs before Muhammad's time?
[Qur'an 51:56] And I (Allah) created not the jinns and humans except they should worship Me (Alone).
How are you any better than the pagans, since your prophet continue to propagate the same superstitions as their former pagan religion.
[Qur'an 2:143] Thus We have made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islamic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah (legal ways)], a Wasat (just) (and the best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad) be a witness over you.
My questions are valid in your claims of jinns existence, and I don't think you can prove anything regarding to jinns.
Only the disbelievers refuse the knowledge.
You haven't seen ones. No ones have, except problem people suffering from delusions, who might think jinns and fairies exist.
No one can see jinns as they are from the unseen of which only Allah has absolute knowledge.
