Jinn are an integral part of both traditional and Gnostic Islamic belief.
Jinn are considered by some authorities to be an integral part of the Islamic faith due to their inclusion in the Quran.
II. In official Islam the existence of the d̲j̲inn was completely accepted, as it is to This day, and the full consequences implied by their existence were worked out.
