For what purposes were the jinn created?


Allah refers to the existence of jinn in many verses. Jinn, too, are beings that are created by Allah to worship Him. They live in a different dimension from that of man. As related in certain verses, people cannot see them, but they can see people. A wrong but widespread belief holds that jinn can supply information about the future. In the Qur’an, however, it is stated that they have no such ability. Also, we are told in the scriptures that the jinn are also held responsible for the safeguarding of the Qur’an. Allah states that the jinn were created with the same purpose as people:


I only created the jinn and man to worship Me.  (Surat adh- Dhariyat, 56)


For what purposes were the jinn created?
