THE
EMPLOYMENT OF JINN IN DIFFERENT
TASKS
Today,
the doors to the metaphysical worlds
are only slightly ajar. We are
barely at the beginning of contact
with jinn and devils. However, one
day we will feel constrained to
enter these worlds to solve many of
their problems pertaining to this
world.
The
Qur’an states that God bestowed
upon the House of Abraham the
Scripture, Wisdom, and a mighty
kingdom (4:54). This mighty kingdom
manifested itself most brilliantly
through the Prophets David and
Solomon, upon them be peace. Prophet
Solomon ruled not only a part of
humanity, but also jinn and devils,
birds and winds: God subdued unto
him devils, some of whom dove for
pearls and did other work
(21:82). Solomon had armies of jinn
and birds, and he employed jinn in
many jobs: They made for him what
he willed: synagogues, fortresses,
basins like wells and boilers built
into the ground (34:13); and Wind
was also subdued to him; its morning
course was a month’s journey and
the evening course also a month’s
journey (34:12). As pointed out
earlier, the throne of the Queen of
Saba’ was carried from Yemen to
Jerusalem in the twinkling of an eye
(27:40).
The
verses relating to Solomon’s
kingdom point to the final limit of
humanity’s use of jinn and devils.
These also suggest that a day will
come when we can use them in many
jobs, especially in communication.
It is quite probable that they also
will be employed in security
affairs, mining and metal-work, even
in space studies and historical
research. Since jinn can live about
1,000 years, they may be useful in
establishing historical facts.
