The Shaykh Al-Albani mentioned a group that denies the existence of the jinn and how they interpreted the clear verses regarding the jinn.

The Shaykh : Similarly, we were just speaking about the jinn; they do not believe in the creation of the jinn. They denied the chapter of the jinn, which contains the story of the jinn, and some of them said:

And there were men from mankind who sought refuge in men from the jinn, so they [only] increased them in burden.

وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رِجَالٌ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ يَعُوذُونَ بِرِجَالٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَزَادُوهُمْ رَهَقًا

[Al-Jinn 72:6]

, and

⁽¹⁾ Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, ⁽²⁾ The Sovereign of mankind. ⁽³⁾ The God of mankind, ⁽⁴⁾ From the evil of the retreating whisperer - ⁽⁵⁾ Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind - ⁽⁶⁾ From among the jinn and mankind."

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ * مَلِكِ النَّاسِ * إِلَهِ النَّاسِ * مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ * الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ * مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ

[An-Nas 114:1-6]

. There are no jinn, but what are the jinn? They said they are a type of human. The jinn mentioned in the Qur'an are a type of human, meaning they are humans. So they denied

You created me from fire and created him from clay."

خَلَقْتَنِي مِنْ نَارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ طِينٍ

[Al-A'raf 7:12]

. This is how it is; the jinn do not believe in all these verses, for they deny their meanings.
