1. Definition:
The word Jinn in `Arabic refers to something that is concealed and hidden.
It says in Lisaan al-`Arab: Janana means to cover or conceal. Everything that is concealed from you is Junna `Anka (concealed from you). Jannahu al-layl means the night covered him. The Jinn is so called because they are concealed and hidden from view. Hence the fetus is called al-Janeenbecause it is concealed in his mother’s womb.
