Humans and Jinns have free will and ability to choose, and both will be responsible for their actions.
And Satan is from the Jinn kind.

Angels don’t have a choice - They are selfless and sinless, and simply obey God’s orders. Period.

The word Angel is then used as a metaphor for some good humans - but at the end of the day, humans are humans and angles are angels.

Do I need or have a scientific “evidence” to believe in the existence of Angels and Jinns?
No! It’s based on faith. And faith does not need “evidence”.
And if you have “evidence”, then it’s not faith anymore.

Interesting. Having an old muslim friend who tried to acquaint me with his beliefs, I came to realize they share a version of many Christian beliefs. Not exactly, but similar in some areas.

Are Jinns similar in that they were once angels?

Nope.
That’s one of the fundamental differences in the Islamic and Christian belief.
Angels and Jinns are two different species. Angels are always angels and Jinns are always Jinns. There is no belief of a “fallen Angel” in the Islamic belief.

Angels don’t have a Choice to deny or refuse - they simply obey.
Jinns, just like humans have a choice and free will. Jinns will have accountability and they will face Heaven or hell.

Quran has a chapter about Jinns. And it talks separately about Angels.


And coming to think of it, Quran does talk about a sixth specie - Gog Magog. I am not sure what are they? Perhaps some form of jinns? I haven’t read much into it.

I don’t know. Perhaps some form of light?
