The various categories of jinn were created separately, according to a creation myth reported by the Arab historian Abu al-Hasan Ali al-Mas'udi (896 –956), called by some ‘the Herodotus of the Arabs’.

Some maintain that the Arabic word jinn is older, and that the Palmyran (ancient Syrian) word jny' or gny', which we shall encounter later, derives from the earlier Arabic form.
Pazuzu, the ancient Mesopotamian wind demon, is an example of a desert spirit, a primordial jinn, who struck terror in the hearts of city dwellers of Eridu, Ur, Nippur, Uruk, Akkad and other Sumerian cities some 4,000–6,000 years ago.
Jinn are often associated with the wind and are said to travel by it.

As God relates in the Qur'an: ‘We created man from sounding clay, from mud molded into shape; and the jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind’
As to the nature of the jinn, some early Islamic scholars – such as philosopher Abu al-Hasan al-Mawardi of Basra (972–1058, known to medieval Europe as Alboacen) – believed that jinn lacked bodies of their own and did not inhabit bodies of other creatures.
However, jinn were known to have their own independent existence, so these scholars were at a loss to explain what form they took.
Al-Mawardi’s conviction that jinn were totally incorporeal was a minority view.
Many other scholars, including Abu'l-Faraj ibn al-Jawzi (d.1201) and Taqi al-Din ibn Taymiyyah (1263–1328 AD), believed that jinn did have bodies which were either defi ned, with density, or subtle, so fine that human vision cannot detect them.
The Qur'an states that Satan and his jinn followers cannot be detected by humans:
One opinion circulating among Islamic scholars of the Middle Ages was that jinn had weight and density equivalent to those of air.

Probably connected to the Jinn
It is related in histories, that a race of Jinn, in ancient times, before the creation of Adam, inhabited the earth, and covered it, the land and the sea, and the plains and the mountains; and the favours of God were multiplied upon them, and they had government, and prophecy, and religion, and law; but they transgressed and off ended, and opposed their prophets, and made wickedness to abound in the earth; whereupon God, whose name be exalted, sent against them an army of Angels, who took possession of the earth, and drove away the Jinn to the regions of the islands, and made many of them prisoners …

Djinn are supernatural beings that can come in various forms, and some traditions describe them as small or dwarf-like.
In various Middle Eastern cultures, Jinn are sometimes believed to inhabit mines or natural underground formations.
These Jinn are thought to guard the treasures of the earth and can either help or hinder miners, depending on how they are treated.

Unlike humans, who were made from earth, Djinn exist in a world parallel to mankind.

In ancient Mesopotamian belief, there were beings known as Talu, which are described in some texts as small, subterranean creatures.
The Talu are described as small, subterranean creatures.
Given their supposed habitat in the earth's depths and possible association with mining areas, the Talu might have been thought to have some control over or connection to the minerals and resources found underground.
In Armenian legend, Arzshenk is a small, goblin-like creature that lives underground.
While more commonly associated with European folklore, the concept of gnomes – small, earth-dwelling creatures skilled in mining and metalwork – has also found its way into Middle Eastern lore, especially in esoteric and mystical traditions.

In terms of behavior, the Jogah exhibit a penchant for games and pranks, which can become hazardous if they are not treated with respect.
