Are Jinns able to teleport?

[space]

we know that they can disappear, change their shape, walk through the walls. fly and such, but are they able to teleport the large things & themselves as well?


I was just thinking about how this could be possible if it was true.. here is the Surah An-Naml - Verses 38-40

قَالَ يَآ أَيُّهَا الْمَلَؤُا أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِي بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ

قَالَ عِفْرِيتٌ مّـِنَ الْجِنّ-ِ أَنَاْ ءَاتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن تَقُومَ مِن مَّقَامِكَ وَإِنّـِي عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِيٌّ أَمِينٌ

38. “(Solomon) said: ‘O chiefs!) which of you can bring to me her throne before they come to me in submission?’”
39. “One audacious among the jinn said: ‘I will bring it to you before you rise up from your place; I have strength for it and I am trusty’.”

قَالَ الَّذِي عِندَهُ عِلْمٌ مّـِنَ الْكِتَابِ أَنَاْ ءَاتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهُ مُسْتَقِرّاً عِندَهُ قَالَ هَذَا مِن فَضْلِ رَبّـِي لِيَبْلُوَنِي ءَأَشْكُرُ أَم أَكْفُرُ وَمَن شَكَرَ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبّـِي غَنِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ

40. “One with whom was some knowledge (of a part) of the (Divine) Book said: ‘I will bring it to you before your eye twinkles’. Then when he saw it settled before him, he said: ‘this is of the grace of my Lord that He may try me whether I am grateful or am ungrateful; and whoever is grateful, verily he is grateful for his own soul, and whoever is ungrateful, then my Lord is Self-Sufficient, Bounteous.”




This may prove that Jinns are not able to teleport.. but it's quite possible if someone who had some knowledge of the Book was a Jinn himself. According to the majority, he was a human being and not a Jinn..

[Misbah-Abd]

Jinn precede man on earth for centuries that only Allah knows. So they have a head start in the technology race. I am trying to find the source in my books that I remember of a story during the time of Ibn Taymiyyah and the story talked about how the jinn showed a man some type of screen and it showed a man from another city far away. And this was in the 13th century.

Brother, now I have to start digging in my books and I can't for the life of me remember which one talked about it.

Only a few persons know of his friendship with jinn.

One day I asked him about it, he told me a few things.

'' Almost 25 years ago when I got my degree, was back home.
A girl who was possessed by this jinn. Her parents approached me to get her cured and when I recited Quranic surah/verses, the jinn also recited the same. I was surprised at this.

Later on the jinn himself came to me. I requested him to leave the girl and he did. Since then, he is my friend. He taught me how to cure possessed person''


this jinn has gifted him gold coins, silver coins, precious gems and pearls etc...

It's a case of normal friendship.

If you have more source or history from the authentic Islamic books about their abilities and such you can publish and as you know the Jinns do not know the hidden sacred knowledge, and anyone who claims otherwise is a shameless liar

We all know Jinns are not hindered by doors and walls. We all know the story about Belqis and how fast a Jinn could retrieve her thrown.
This indicates the speed and strength of a Jinn.
What it also indicates, is that Jinns...and Angels...or shaytaan are not bound to laws of physics.
Teleportation is something which is not possible in our world. This may not apply on Jinns...but then again...they might not even need it.

What? What do you mean “restriction”? How do even know that teleportation is not possible in our world? We have not even tried this yet but maybe in a distant future we will and we cannot be sure whether it is possible or not for us to do this, and we as human species are an intelligent race and by the will of God we can build a teleportation device and teleport anywhere we want, right? I think that you just have committed a disbelief? According to what you said “He is not able to fold up of the earth or to do anything He Wishes”, because God has said many times in Quran that He is indeed able to do whatever He wants/ wishes.

.

I doubt it's teleportation. What failed to realize is the factor of time and speed. Ifreet (the strongest jinn) is known of his flight and speed. The Jinns used to travel to lowers part of the heavens (billions of light years away) to hear the the angels discussions to come and tell the soothsayers. Angel Jibreel would come to Prophet :saws: with an answer before the questioner even finished asking the questions. All this shows is that they are able to travel faster then speed of light.

What I understand with "teleportation" is transfer of some something between location A and B without traversing the physical space between them.

Teleportation in this world means somehow copy and desintegrate every molecule in your body....send the information to location B and reconstruate every molecule back together.

We all know we cannot reconstruate elements. If we could...we would make lots of gold and silver.
How can we reconstruate a human being? So this is not possible and it will never be possible.

I am of course not talking about Allah. Allah can make anything possible if He wants.

About the Jinn. They are not made of matter as we know of. The laws of physics do not apply on them...whether they actually travel that distance or they just disappear on location A and appear on location B...we do not know...that would be teleportation...yes...but again...they are not bound to the laws of physics.

Interesting story..



Azrail, who was in disguise, visited Sulayman

and very carefully looked at a man who was there. The man noticed it. When Azrail left, the man asked Sulayman who he was. When he found out that he was Azrail, he said, "He looked at me as if he was going to take my soul. I am scared." Sulayman asked him, "What do you want me to do?" The man said, "Send me to the other side of India with the wind. Sulayman did what the man asked. When Sulayman met Azrail again, he asked Azrail why he had looked at that man like that. Azrail said, "I was ordered to take the soul of that man in the east of India soon. I was surprised to see him here. That is why I looked at him like that." Thus, what Allaah had predestined took place. The man wanted to escape death but ran towards it.[61 Ihya, IV, 837]

İ know this story...pretty cool huh?
But again...this is one of Allahs miracles. That man was only teleported (if it was teleporting) because Allah made it happen. Sulayman as had the power over the wind. This is also a power which is not possible in our world. Sulayman was granted power over the wind because Allah wanted that. A one time exception. We do not have that luxury.

If you mean by "time travel" moving between different points in time forward or backward, meaning physically visiting the past or the future, then this is impossible. Allaah, The Exalted, says (what means):

• {And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die. Indeed, Allaah is Knowing and Acquainted.} [Quran 31:34]

Only Allaah, The Exalted, knows the Unseen; if it were possible to travel to the future and know what would happen, this (the fact that only Allaah knows the Unseen) would be falsified. Allaah, The Exalted, says (what means):

Most people who obsessed with the unseen or the unknown are usually young college teens as far as I know them IRL and also you'll find such kind of mass among the elderly people.. but hey, no one says it's not allowable to think deeply about creations of Almighty and no one claims to want to have/aquire some hidden sacred knowledge, we just discuss this conversation using some arguments from Quran and Sunnah without trolling or idiotic provokes. Some people are really annoying who always try to impose their own empty opinion on anyone they meet

[Ümit]

So, now you compare me with an atheist just because I like to back my arguments up with logic and reason?
I am sorry to annoy you, but just because we are Muslims Alhamdulillah, does not mean we lose our touch of reality.
like said...everything is possible for Allah no doubt about that. But Allah has put time traveling or teleporting out of reach from us.
It may be out of reach for now...it may be out of reach for ever (in this world).
We never know of course.

Jins might be made of electromagnetic energy. So they can move with the speed of electromagnetic waves

Jins might be made of electromagnetic energy. So they can move with the speed of electromagnetic waves

one says they are made of smokeless fire.
fire usually has the components light and heat. Heat can both be in the form of convection or radiation.
both the light component as the heat radiation component can be at light speed...
for fire you usually need oxygen, and fuel. these components cannot reach lightspeed...because they have masses.

In short, I dont know...but then again...Jinns may not be bound to physics problems like us.

Sorry if this has already been answered earlier (I didn't have a chance to read everything), but what exactly is a jinn? Is it like a ghost or spirit, or something like a demon?

What is it that they're supposed to do? Possess people or carry out more nefarious deeds?

Far as we know, Allah has created 3 sentient races. The angels, the humans and the jinns. The Angels are made of light and are Allah's worker bees, and they do not disobey Him. The humans are made of clay and given free will to do as they please and will be brought to account on Judgement day. The jinns are created from smokeless fire and they too are given free wills like humans and will be brought to account on Judgement day.

They are referred to as spirits in Christianity. They can be good or evil, like humans. Among them are believers and non-believers. The evil ones follow the devil, who himself is also a jinn. They are your demons, ghosts, spirits and any other supernatural notion people have. Their purpose is same as ours,

“And I (Allaah) created not the jinns and humans, except they should worship Me (Alone).” [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56].

Thank you for the response. I was wondering if jinns were like how some people view ghosts (I don't believe in them, for the record), that some are neutral, sad "lost spirit" types who wander the earth aimlessly looking for their bodies or the afterlife, some are friendly/harmless, others are dangerous/negative, like poltergeists, who some say get physical and knock over objects, destroy furniture, and hurt people. Seems about similar. Again, thanks.

They are referred to as spirits in Christianity. They can be good or evil, like humans. Among them are believers and non-believers. The evil ones follow the devil, who himself is also a jinn. They are your demons, ghosts, spirits and any other supernatural notion people have. Their purpose is same as ours,

“And I (Allaah) created not the jinns and humans, except they should worship Me (Alone).” [al-Dhaariyaat 51:56].

It is true but, He not only created 3 intelligent species but He created other creatures and scattered them through tout the Universes as per Quran says, so there are countless of advanced intelligent sentient beings in the Universes, right?

Thank you for the response. I was wondering if jinns were like how some people view ghosts (I don't believe in them, for the record), that some are neutral, sad "lost spirit" types who wander the earth aimlessly looking for their bodies or the afterlife, some are friendly/harmless, others are dangerous/negative, like poltergeists, who some say get physical and knock over objects, destroy furniture, and hurt people. Seems about similar. Again, thanks.

No Jinns are not like ghost. Not that some person dies and stays around as a ghost and terrorizes the area.
Jinns are a complete own race. They have their own rules, habits, religions etc. We cannot see Jinns. They can see us, but they are not allowed to seek contact with us. Most of them obey this and mind their own business.
Occasionally some jinns disobeys this rule and seeks contact with us (usually the bad ones...because the good ones would not disobey in the first place).

Like said, Jinns can be Muslim, Christian, Jew, or some other religion. They are extremely fast...maybe even lightspeed...and extremely strong.
Some people do have regular contact with a Jinn. Whenever some fortune teller knows some super secret stuff about you, and you ask yourself "how can he know that?" it most probably is possible with the help of a Jinn. Like said, they may have observed you and because they are undetectable, they can know stuff about you which they pass on to the fortune teller.

The fortune teller in turn uses this information to draw your attention and once you are interested, they can fill the gaps with other mumbo jumbo and earn their money.

That is why I always stay away as far as possible from fortune tellers. They are no good. First of all, they can never know the future...not even the jinns, and second...they may be in close contact with jinns. you do not want to get involved in this.

yes, He has created many many different creatures...and only a fraction of them live on Earth. But I do not know whether they are more intelligent than us humans. I remember reading that the humans were on the top of all creations:

And We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea and provided for them of the good things and preferred them over much of what We have created, with [definite] preference. 17:70
And this verse:

Do you not see that Allah has made subject to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth and amply bestowed upon you His favors, [both] apparent and unapparent? But of the people is he who disputes about Allah without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening Book [from Him]. 31:20

Is it possible to control the Jinn?

Question

Is it possible for any one to take control of a jinn? As i have heard that controlling the jinn was only granted to Nabi Sulayman by Allah. Jazakallahu chairman.



Answer

The topic of man controlling the Jinn is an undeniable reality, and has been authentically recorded from several Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum)
A hadith in Sahih Bukhari, (hadith: 2311) mentions how Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu’anhu) was able to tie up an evil Jinn (shaytan) when he came to steal from the wealth of zakat.



Nabi Sulayman’s (‘alaihis salam) specialty

Nabi Sulayman (‘alaihis salam) had
1) complete control over
2) all the Jinn.
That is what he asked Allah Ta’ala to keep as his exclusive gift.
Therefore, if any person is given
1) limited control over
2) a limited number of Jinn, it would not classify as a violation of the wish of Nabi Sulayman (‘alaihis salam)
(See Ma’ariful Quran & Bayanul Quran, Surah: Sad, Ayah: 35)


Detailed proofs

The Mufassir (commentator of Quran) Khatib Sharbini (rahimahullah) writes:
“Allah Ta’ala gave control to a group of Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) over the Jinn. Among them were:
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka’b, Sayyiduna Mu’adh ibn Jabal, Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari, Sayyiduna Zayd ibn Thabit, Sayyiduna ‘Umar and Sayyiduna ‘Ammar ibn Yasir (radiyallhu’anhum)
(As-Sirajul Munir, Surah Saba, Ayah: 12)
‘Allamah Suyuti (rahimahullah) has mentioned the references for the above, and also added Sayyiduna Buraidah and Sayyiduna Abu Usaid (radiyallahu’anhuma) making it a total of nine Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum).
He has also commented on the chains with several being declared authentic. (Al-Khasaisul Kubra, vol.2 pgs.169-174. Also see Hayatul Hayawan, vol.1 pgs.242)
The famed commentators of Sahih Bukhari, Hafiz Ibn Hajar and ‘Allamah ‘Ayni (rahimahumallah) have also provided a list of names of Sahabah who were able to gain some sort of control over the Jinn. (Fathul Bari & ‘Umdatul Qari, hadith: 2311)



The above is sufficient to prove that some people are given:

1) limited control over
2) a limited number of Jinn.
As mentioned above, this does not violate the wish of Nabi Sulayman (‘alaihis salam)
(Ma’ariful Quran & Bayanul Quran, Surah: Sad, Ayah: 35)
Note: In ancient history, it was the Jinn who were scared of humans. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Surah Jinn, Ayah: 6)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best,

The jinns are a different race of beings. We cannot see them like we cannot see the angels unless they decide to show themselves. Jinns have different abilities, such as super strength, flight, shape shifting, etc. The evil and mischievous ones among them interact in the human world and do cause harm to Muslims. They often transform into what the prevalent culture believes in. Western culture believes humans become ghost after death and linger around, so they transform into ghosts and fool the humans. Hindus believe demons that transform into human can be identified by their feet because their feet are backward. So jinns transform like that to scare them. And same goes for every other culture that believes in them.

It is true but, He not only created 3 intelligent species but He created other creatures and scattered them through tout the Universes as per Quran says, so there are countless of advanced intelligent sentient beings in the Universes, right?

I said as far as we know. Allah created life and spread throughout the universe, whether that life is intelligent or not has not been mentioned so its mere speculation.

Contacting the angels and seeing them is not something easy. Although the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the best of mankind and was physically and spiritually strong to a great degree, when he saw Jibreel (peace be upon him) in his true form, he was stricken with immense fear and fled back to his house with his heart trembling. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) suffered great hardship when the revelation came to him, hence Allah said, refuting them (interpretation of the meaning):

“On the Day they will see the angels no glad tidings will there be for the Mujrimoon (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners) that day.” [25:22]



the Jinns like the Angels do not appear in their true shape.. otherwise you know what would happen? That's why Allah s.w.t made them invisible to our eyes, otherwise a human being would become insane
