The humanity as a whole can be likened to a single individual that composes it. I started to think, rationalize, reason, and gave up imaginings and daydreaming. My impressionable nave mind had fabricated a whole show of fantasies and played it so masterfully in vivid colors that to me seemed real.Īs I grow and my mind developed my left-brain became more dominant. It was all the product of my childish imagination.

From a distance, they seemed something else. Then she walked with me to the place where I had seen the Jinn, for a close inspection.

I saw the Jinn My mother calmed me down and assured me that there is no such thing as Jinn. I ran towards my mother shouting: Mama there is a Jinn there. At that time I was terrorized, I felt a chill going up my spine, my hair stood still and cold sweat oozed out of my forehead. Then gradually I noticed that the boys face changed again, this time into a big cats face grinning a huge grin just like the cat that Alice saw in the Wonderland. We gazed into each others eyes without either one of us blinking. Without making any move I kept looking at him. This was quite strange but I did not allow fear to overcome me as I saw he was a boy just about my age. After a minute or two, without him turning his head, his profile slowly changed and now he was staring right into my eyes. I wondered what this boy is doing there and why is he hiding! So I quietly sat down behind a bush watching him. He was about 15 meters away from where I was standing. Then suddenly I saw the profile of a boy hiding behind a bush. I swam in the river, played carelessly and ran around like any active 10-year-old boy would do. One summer day I accompanied my family for a picnic to a shore of a river that ran through a beautiful and almost enchanted forest, not so far from our home. When I was 10 years old I too saw a Jinn. Muhammads belief in Jinns is an indication of the influence that his society had on his impressionable mind. Like children who can easily believe in monsters, elves and fairies, primitive men believed in shadowy creatures.
