Aren't Jinns supposed to grant wishes to people? |
No. They're separate entities (like spirits) that co-exist with humans. They're not ghosts, rather they are other living spirits who can't be seen by humans but they (generally) live in peace with humans. They don't have any "magical" powers, though in Muslim tradition it is believed that they can possess people. They're also believed to practice Islam, but there are some "bad" Jinns (like there are "bad" humans) who can take over weak Mulims. It is generally believed that if you're a good Muslim and are strong to your faith, then the "bad" Jinns won't harm you.
