animal-like forms, and may account for some of
the reported encounters with mysterious creatures throughout history. The shiqq are lower djinn, appearing as half creatures that are
literally only half formed, thus giving them a monstrous appearance. The shaitans are rebellious djinn associated with demonic
forces.
For simplicity's sake, we've classified the djinn according to their
power and behavior. The classification we use is by color, an easier
way to understand this ancient, complex race.
The color order starting with the weakest to the most powerful
is: green, yellow, blue, and black. There is also another group, red,
which will be described separately; they belong to an order that
does not answer to any family, clan, or king-only Iblis.
The only way a djinni can advance in rank and increase in power
is to obtain more knowledge. For example, djinn can manipulate
the matter in the universe by changing the vibration of strings.
This action is much like playing a guitar: the more chords a person
knows, the wider the repertoire. Individual string vibrations determine the type of particles and matter formed, and djinn are able to
change the "notes" of the strings, thus changing one form of matter
into another. This talent for changing matter properties does not
come naturally-just like humans who must learn any profession,
it is a skill, something developed over a long period of time, usually
taught. Some people go through life learning very little, staying on
more or less the same intellectual level and the same is true with
the djinn. A djinn's progression from green to blue is not something that happens naturally; it is earned with a great deal of practice, study, and hard work. Some djinn are tempted to abuse their
power, similar to some people. However, most djinn who achieve
high ranks use their power wisely, since they believe they are responsible for their actions in the face of God and will have to answer for their deeds at the Day of judgment.
Green Djinn
Green djinn have the least amount of power. The majority of green
djinn are young and they usually enjoy acts of mischief and pranks
played on other djinn and humans. There are some older djinn
still at the green level, but for the most part, they keep to themselves and stay away from humans. It's interesting to note that in
the 1960s television series I Dream of Jeannie, the genie was this
green variety, very young and with limited power. As the series progressed, Jeannie became more comfortable performing increasingly
amazing feats of djinn "magic" to make the shows more interesting.
Green djinn can shapeshift into animals and humans and have
the ability to fly. They can also change one form of matter into
another, but their power in this area seems to be limited due to
their lack of knowledge regarding the relationship between matter and energy in the physical universe. A similar example would
be a child trying to build a computer from a kit. The child does
not have the experience and knowledge to complete the task, but
an adult who has studied electronics, engineering, and computers
would be able to assemble the kit's parts and have a working computer in no time because the adult possesses knowledge and experience, and understands how the device works. Although green
djinn are mostly children and young adults, they can be thousands
of years old, and their knowledge of human history and the multiverse is much greater than that of any human being. Green djinn
are characterized as being playful, vengeful, cruel, and sometimes
kind-indeed they are quite temperamental. Among the human
race, it's known that some children are more aggressive, smarter,
and/or stronger than others. Some are better at science, math, engineering, art, and other things. The green djinn also have different levels of power, knowledge, and talents, but like us, are all different. Some human children are cruel and some are kind. We've
