The Teaching of Hazrat Inayat Khan

The sphere of the jinn is the universe of minds. It may be called a mental world; and yet the soul is with the mind. The soul with the mind is called spirit, and therefore it may also be called a spiritual world. The questions, "What are the jinns like? What do they look like?" may be answered in the same way as in explaining the forms of angels: that things are not always as they are, but as we see them. Man always pictures the beings he imagines and cannot see with his physical eyes as something like himself; or man's imagination may gather together different forms: for instance, wings from the birds, horns from the oxen, hooves from horses and paws from tigers. He puts them all together and makes a new form.
