The Quran teaches that jinn are created from fire and are immaterial spirit beings.

The Quran states that jinn are created from fire, but this does not necessarily imply that they are immaterial beings. The nature of fire as a chemical reaction indicates that it requires matter, which could suggest that jinn have some form of material existence. Furthermore, the Quran and hadith literature provide evidence that jinn possess physical characteristics, including the ability to procreate, as indicated by references to Iblis and his offspring. This implies that jinn have physical bodies capable of engaging in physical acts, such as reproduction. Additionally, the existence of male and female jinn, as mentioned in the hadith, further supports the idea that they possess physical forms. The notion that jinn can enter paradise or hell and have relationships with heavenly maidens also reinforces the argument that they are not purely spiritual entities but rather have a physical aspect to their existence. Therefore, the interpretation of jinn as immaterial beings is not consistent with the textual evidence found in Islamic sources. In conclusion, while the Quran does mention that jinn are created from fire, this does not lead to the conclusion that they are immaterial. The evidence suggests that jinn have physical forms, can procreate, and interact with the physical world, which challenges the notion of their immateriality.
