How to meet a friendly jinn?

[Aaqib]

Um. Why would someone want to know how to meet a friendly jinn in the first place?

Why not?

 

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

Casper the Friendly [-]Ghost[/-] Jinn.

 

[Muezzin]

Why not?

Because it's inadvisable to meet Jinn, friendly or otherwise?

Interessant!

Interessant!

Is that like a croissant? Can I have one?

Just the dutch translation of 'interesting' ;D

du er bra! (I think bra in norwegian means good/very good, Allah :swt: knows best.)

You speak Dutch, or using Google Translate (or some other translation program)?

Here in South Africa, we speak Afrikaans too. Afrikaans is similar to German, Dutch and Finnish. A person fluent in Afrikaans would more or less be able to keep a conversation with a person speaking German, and vice-versa. So if you know Afrikaans fluently, learning Dutch, German and Finnish as well would be easy.

I'm a beginner in learning, but "bare bra" means "fine" or some variant like that. So I think so.

I actually study Dutch, but not active on it as of now.

Yeah I know about Afrikaans, seems a bit tricky!

Why on earth do you want to meet a jinn, is the human race not enough for you? They are deceitful creatures and it's best not to interact them.

Hier in die Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek, meeste van ons kan Afrikaans vlot praat. Ampers almal kan dit praat: Die Afrikaaners, die blanke, die kleurlinge, Indians, Malays...

Maar ek moet se: dit is nie 'n mooi taal nie.

 

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

I speak four languages: Arabic, Urdu, English and Afrikaans.

Alhamdulillaah.

 

[Umm Abed]

A nice change of topic, I must say:lol:

 

[Huzaifah ibn Adam]

That brings up many more issues, though:

Which languages can Jinn speak?

From the Qur'aan and Sunnah we know that the Jinn can speak Arabic (as is found in many narrations).

Can they speak other languages as well? Do the Jinn that live in a particular area 1) speak the language of that area, 2) speak their own Jinn language, or 3) speak only in Arabic? And does every Jinn know all languages in the world, or only the language of the area he/she lives in?

Can the Jinns who live in South Africa speak Afrikaans, and Zulu, and Xhosa, and Setswana, and Sesotho, and Sabela (Tsotsitaal), etc?

Can the Jinns understand the slang of the language or can they only understand the classical form?

It is said that the Jinn have their own particular form of writing. Some "Aamils" claim to learn this language and be able to read letters written in it. Most "Aamils" are fraudsters, though.

That in itself brings up more questions:

If the Jinn have a designated language for writing, does that mean they write letters to each other? Or books? Or some other means of communication through writing more advanced than sending letters (like how we have messaging apps, emails, etc)?

Many questions. None of which, however, affect the lives of people in any way.
