The question text was not published separately; the title stands in for it.

Modernistic opinion is not to believe in Jinns. Please give valid proof for proving they a separate creation of Allah (swt)?

Answer

Jinns are a creation of Allah. He says in the Quran, 'And I have not created the jinns and man but that they worship Me'. In the @9th juz of the Quran in Surah Jinn, Allah Ta'ala discusses the incident of the jinns bringing iman on Allah. Not being able to see jinns is not a proof of non-existence just as the existence of U.F.O. (unidentified flying object) cannot be outruled.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
