Did the God of Abraham teach about Jinns?

Question

Is there scriptures that show this or is Allah the God of Alladin?

Additional Details

yes God of Alladin? or yes you have previous scriptures?

If Allah says he is the God of Abraham yet no scriptre of Jinns...does this mean Allah is not the God of Abraham?

Mystery woman are you sure you are Muslim? You are not helping your cause. To say a writing is from Judaism does not denote that it is the word of God. It would be the same as saying a Islamic writer writes scripture....the fact is that the II Targum of Esther is a Jewish fable many Christian and Jewish scholars believe (like you apparently) that this fable was plagerized by Muhammad who like you apparenly thought it to be scripture...If this is true the Qu'ran was written by Muhammad and not Allah as this is a Jewish Fable and God would surely know a fable from scripture....You truly should as a good Muslim not be trying to make this obvious but embarassing connection to the Qu'ran. I tend to agree with you this is definitely a similiar story of genies and such but the original story is not scripture if it found it's way into the Qu'ran it would be a huge embarassment to Islam.

No, there are no jinns in the Bible. The Bible is very clear that there are only good angels and fallen angels, so its not that complicated. Neither do any of these angels eat human faeces or bones as the Arabian jinn do as a mercy from Mohammad and allah. As you stated, allah is the god of alladin (allah-deen - "believer in allah") and his pet jinn.

One(Islam) is superstition mixed with half-truths, the truth is much more simpler and does not lend itself to any superstition.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

don't think so that's an entirely different culture besides it's still superstitious hog wash.

Answer 4

Alla - Alladin.

Think about it.

However, it does get somewhat interesting if you consider the story of Jacob and Essau. Jacob stole his brother's birthright and became the leader of the people who would because Israel, the Jews. But after losing his right to continue the line of the Jewish people, it is said he married an outsider and his children became the arabs, who today a predominantly muslim. The Jewish people and the Muslims are at root, cousins.

Answer 5

The God of Abraham is Allah, Jehovah, Yahweh, Hashem, God, etc etc. All the same. U know the Aladdin story is actually set in China, right? Also remember that the 1001 Nights is a purely secular book written when Islam was young, and belief passionate. Stories of Jinn are fables incorporated into stories to teach lessons, usually morally.

1001 Nights is my favorite book.

Answer 6

The djinn are purely from Islam. There is no mention of them in the Old or New Testament.

Answer 7

In Judaism:
From: II Targum of Esther : “Solomon gave orders ‘I will send King and armies against you (of) Genii [jinn] beasts of the land the birds of the air.’

The Targum - a translation of a passage of the Targum:

"Again, when King Solomon's heart was merry with his wine, he commanded to bring the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air and the creeping things of the earth and the JINNS and the spirits and the night-goblins to dance before him, in order to show his greatness to all the kings who were prostrating themselves before him. And the king's scribes summoned them by their names, and they all assembled and came unto him, except the prisoners and except the captives and except the man who took charge of them. At that hour the cock of the desert was enjoying himself among the birds and was not found. And the king commanded concerning him that they should bring him by force, and wished to destroy him. The cock of the desert returned to King Solomon's presence and said to him, ‘Hearken, my lord the king of the earth, incline thine ear and hear my words. Is it not three months ago that I took counsel in my heart and formed a firm resolution with myself that I would not eat, and would not drink water, before I had seen the whole world and flown about in it? And I said, Which province or kingdom is there that is not obedient to my lord the king? I beheld and saw a fortified city, the name of which is Qitor, in an eastern land. The dust is heavy with gold, and silver is like dung in the streets, and trees have been planted there from the beginning; and from the Garden of Eden do they drink water. There are there great multitudes with garlands on their heads. From there are plants from the Garden of Eden, because it is near unto it. They know how to shoot with the bow, but cannot be slain with the bow. One woman rules over them all, and her name is the Queen of Sheba. Now if it please thee, my lord the king, this person45 will gird up my loins, and I shall rise up and go to the fortress of Qitor, to the city of Sheba; I shall "bind their kings with chains and their nobles with links of iron," and shall bring them unto my lord the King.’ And the saying was pleasing before the king, and the king's scribes were called, and they wrote a letter and fastened the letter to the wing of the cock of the desert. And he arose and went up high into the sky and bound on his tiara and grew strong, and flew among the birds. And they flew after him. And they went to the fortress of Qitor, to the city of Sheba. And it came to pass at morning time that the Queen of Sheba went forth by the sea to worship. And the birds darkened the sun; and she laid her hand upon her garments and rent them, and she became surprised and troubled. And when she was troubled, the cock of the desert came down to her, and she saw, and lo! a letter was fastened to his wing. She opened and read it. And this was what was written in it:— ‘From me, King Solomon. Peace be to thee, peace be to thy nobles! Forasmuch as thou knowest that the Holy One, blessed be He! has made me King over the beasts of the field, and over the fowls of the air, and over JINNS and over spirits and over night-goblins, and all the kings of the East and the West and the South and the North come and inquire about my health (peace): now, if thou art willing and dost come and inquire after my health, well: I shall make thee greater than all the kings that bow down before me. And if thou art not willing and dost not come nor inquire after my health, I shall send against thee kings and legions and horsemen. And if thou sayest, ‘What kings and legions and horsemen has King Solomon?’ — the beasts of the field are kings and legions and horsemen. And if thou sayest, ‘What horsemen?’ — the fowls of the air are horsemen, my armies are spirits and JINNS, and the night-goblins are legions that shall strangle you in your beds within your houses: the beasts of the field shall slay you in the field; the birds of the air shall eat your flesh from off you.’

Last time I checked, Judaism was considered one of the "Abrahamic" religions
