Djinn is the Acehnese transcription of the Arabic jinn, referring to supernatural beings made of smokeless fire. It appears on 82 with the gloss “geest”. In the Burda of al‑Bu‑s‑iri, djinn are mentioned in verses that discuss the unseen world (ghaib) and the limits of human knowledge.
The term is used in folklore and religious discourse, often to caution against reliance on unseen forces.
Theological context
Acehnese Islamic scholars treat djinn as part of the ghaib (unseen), acknowledging their existence while emphasizing that only Allah has power over them.
