This is due to the acceleration of time…
Indeed, because the jinn are not bound by matter, they exist at an extremely accelerated velocity.
Due to this velocity, they experience what seems 70 years to us in a span of 700 years… Hence, based on our concept of time and velocity we can conclude that the life span of the jinn is ten times the life span of humans, though in their concept of time and space it is like 70 years.
While the jinn live up to what seems like a thousand years to us, the subatomic particles ‘pion’ (or a pi meson) have a mean lifetime of 26,033 nanoseconds! The u mesons can travel up to a few km, sometimes more than ten km, before they decay or ‘die’!
Now the jinn possess several significant attributes, which can also be seen on humans who have inadvertently become possessed by the jinn.
1. The jinn lack logical integrity.
2. The jinn have delusions of grandeur, or ‘superiority complex’.
3. The jinn have a very weak self-control mechanism.
4. The jinn frequently repeat themselves.
Regardless of what it’s called or where on earth it is encountered, the speech given by the jinn always display these properties.
1. The jinn lack logical integrity.
If you pay attention to the sermons given by the jinn or by “aliens” you can clearly see that there is no logic or coherence in their claims; it is full of contradiction. They jump from one topic to another and to cover their inconsistency they make excuses like “We present these discrepancies to test you and encourage you to contemplate”.
The truth is they are full of discrepancies. This is because even though they are astute and quick-witted, they are intellectually limited. They can quickly present a solution to the current problem on hand but because of their limited intellect their solution will almost always conflict with either a previous claim or one they will make in the future.
2. The jinn have delusions of grandeur or ‘superiority complex’.
Their delusion of grandeur is not only in the egoistical sense but also in terms of physical dimensions.
While they try to present themselves as the governors of earth, they cause confusion among the people using dimensional grandeur. To prove their superiority, they place hierarchy between themselves and humans, going as far as claiming they are from outer space.
The majority of those who believe that the jinn are “aliens” lack fundamental knowledge of Islam and Sufism. They have no insight into what the Quran or the Rasul of Allah (saw) says regarding these topics. Hence, when they encounter these seemingly ‘extra-ordinary’ stories or experiences they are easily fooled by them.
Moreover, the jinn cause illusory visions and hallucinations making their stories even more compelling to believe.
Another important tactic the jinn use is approaching every society with their specific cultural values and beliefs, thereby making it easier for those populations to believe and accept them.
While their contact with the irreligious is completely different, they approach the devout with religious values or by using the name of an important saint, hence easily deceiving those with pure intentions.
3. The jinn have a very weak self-control mechanism.
Due to their lack of self-control, they easily lose their balance or go too far; they rarely know when and where to stop.
They may start their speech from a seemingly sophisticated high-level but before you know it, they inadvertently reveal their primitiveness.
Sometimes they go as far as claiming they are the creators of the Creator, at other times they claim they have personified and embodies Allah and sent Him down to earth, and sometimes they claim to be the devout servants of Allah whilst doing everything they can to divert the believers away from religion and the teachings of the Rasul of Allah (saw).
4. The jinn frequently repeat themselves.
While they constantly preach to the people to impose their superiority the jinn intermittently repeat themselves or repeat their sentences.
Most of their sermons consist of the same sentences with perhaps one or two different words.
My understanding of why this may be is:
1. Repeating certain words, like dhikr, enables them to manipulate the neural pathways of the psychics with whom they connect in order to strengthen their bondage.
2. To save time when they have an intellectual block up.
Let us now see what the Quran says about the jinn, the incidents that occurred between the jinn and the Rasul (saw) and the prominent viewpoints on the jinn discussed in various religious sources.
