Question

Also could you give some information on them (Jinn), can we see them, can they harm us, can we harm them. Thank you for your appreciated time and effort.

Answer

Jinns like human beings are of two types, obedient and disobedient.

As human beings we are comparatively weaker than them and cannot harm them. However, Aamils (experts who can control Jinns) can harm them.

The disobedient jinns cause mischief and also harm human beings.

As regards animals being able to see jinns, it is possible.
