On the other hand, if the Jinn or invisible<br />

forces or motivational energy are kept under<br />

complete control by intelligence, conscience<br />

and high morals then it will submissively follow<br />

the right way and as such behave like a<br />

<strong>The</strong> human brain not only works in mysterious<br />

ways but sometimes, due to some disease<br />

or shock, starts behaving in mysterious ways.<br />

Scientific advancement in the field of medicine,<br />

surgery and psychology etc. have found cure<br />

for so many such diseases, but there are still<br />

many which need cure.<br />

<strong>The</strong> relevant<br />

point is that all<br />

forms of most ancient<br />

bacteria draw<br />

their energy directly<br />

from heat. This is a<br />

tribute of no small<br />

magnitude to the<br />

Quranic declaration<br />

made over fourteen<br />

hundred years ago.<br />

Muslim. That is why it is mentioned in the hadith<br />

that the Holy Prophet (s) said: “My Jinn has<br />

become a Muslim.”<br />

Unusual things are taken as magic<br />

Unusual and mysterious things are usually<br />

ascribed to magic or to the jinns. As we see<br />

unusual feats of Prophet Solomon have been<br />

taken to be the jinns who used to perform extraordinary<br />

activities such as understanding<br />

the language of the birds, causing unprecedented<br />

speed of his merchandise, flowing of<br />

molten brass, designing of huge synagogues,<br />

manufacturing bowls as large as water-troughs<br />

and huge cooking pots etc.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se feats in the days of Solomon must be<br />

considered magical in those days, but we find<br />

them happening in our times. Even the Holy<br />

Prophet (s) because of his extraordinary intelligence,<br />

impressive talk and unusual bravery<br />

was called a magician and is even considered<br />

by majority of Muslims as superhuman who<br />

could see in every direction without moving<br />

his head, did not have a shadow etc. In ordinary<br />

parlance, anybody who is unusual in efficiency,<br />

intelligence and strength is called a jinni.<br />

I Shall Love All Mankind.<br />

Ignorance leads to myths<br />

And it is recorded in an authentic hadith<br />

mentioned in Tirmidhi, that the Holy Prophet<br />

(may peace and the blessings of Allah be upon<br />

him) said: “Do not clean yourselves with dung<br />

or bones for they are food for your brothers<br />

among the Jinn.”<br />

Abu Hurairah reported: “<strong>The</strong> Apostle of<br />

Allah said: When any one of you wakes up from<br />

sleep and performs ablution, he must clean his<br />

nose three times, for the devil spends the night<br />

in the interior of his nose.” (Muslim, vol. 1, no.<br />

462 concerning Satan living in one’s nose).<br />

<strong>The</strong> relevant point is that all forms of most<br />

ancient bacteria draw their energy directly<br />

from heat. This is a tribute of no small magnitude<br />

to the Quranic declaration made over<br />

fourteen hundred years ago.<br />

According to the accepted scientific studies,<br />

direct heat from fire had to play a vital role<br />

in the creation and maintenance of pre-biotic<br />

organisms. This, in fact, was the only mode of<br />

transfer of energy for the consumption of organized<br />

forms of existence during this era. As<br />

they multiplied during their uninterrupted<br />

proliferation lasting over billions of years, their<br />

death must have polluted the oceans while<br />

they decayed and fermented turning the<br />

oceans into the primordial soup.<br />

<strong>The</strong> human mind has created marvels in<br />

present time. This shows in how many dimensions<br />

the human mind can manifest its tremendous<br />

power. <strong>The</strong> modern man does not<br />

need any Alladin’s lamp to help him in doing<br />

feats. Allah has created a human being to use<br />

his faculties for the good of human beings.<br />

This is the meaning of the word ya’budoon<br />

in the verse: “And I have not created the jinn<br />

and the people except that they should serve
