You are now entering the realm of the djinn: Alam al-Ghayb, the dominion of the Unseen.
This journey is not for everyone.
Alam-al-Ghayb is not only a place—it is a dimension. Should you choose to embark on this path, you will discover new ways of seeing and knowing. You will question all that you witness and believe. Your grip on what you call “reality” shall loosen.
Your dreams will be altered forever.
Lurking in the corner of your living room, perhaps reading this sentence over your shoulder right now, is an often-invisible creature that is everywhere and nowhere.
Djinn are the cool breezes in warm rooms, the materializations of your deepest desires, the monsters waiting beneath your bed. They have appeared in the stories of Muslim communities across time and throughout the world, but this is the first comprehensive guide to these beguiling creatures.
Whether you have been steeped in these djinn tales since childhood or are seeking to open your eyes to the Unseen for the first time, you are invited to open this book and explore the world of the djinn.
