Assalamu alaikum,

I was wondering if anyone could explain to me what the Jinn are and what they do. I know they are made of fire and/or smoke and they coexist with us, but thats about it. Also, (and I'm really only wondering cuz I just converted from Christianity) if the Jinn have been around as long as us (if not longer), why aren't they mentioned in the Bible (or are they)?

I hope someone can help me with this!!

Demons are mentioned in the bible, but doesn't have as much detail as the
hadith. Some interpret the bible as mentioning giants are the offspring of
angels and men (before the flood), and I would be interested if the Qu'ran
has reference to giants.
