Do you think that 'genies' always grant your wish and follow your orders? Like the tale of 'Aladdin and the Magic Lamp'? Then beware! A family in Medina is dragging a genie to court on a case of harassment.
According to Wikipedia, In Islam and pre-Islamic Arabian folklore, a genie (also jinn, djinn, from Arabic جني jinnī) is a supernatural creature which possesses free will. Genies are mentioned in the Qur'an, wherein a whole Sura is named after them (Al-Jinn). They can be either good or evil. In some cases, evil genies are said to lead humans astray. In Islam, Satan, known in Arabic as Iblis, is the iconic genie that refused to bow down to Adam when ordered to by Allah.
This Saudi Arabian family, who come from Mahd Al Dahab, had to change their house where they had been staying for the past 15 years due to the evil spirit. They started hearing strange sounds and later heard voices of the genie saying them to vacate the house. The genie started throwing stones and children got scared.
Now, the family found no option, but to vacate the house as 'ordered' by genie. But they decided to fight the case. A local court is investigating the case.
Will they be able to drag the genie to the court and win their case? Time only will tell. Let us wait and watch.
