This word indicates "something hidden from view", and is used in the Quran with several different meanings referring to people or beings who are remote and not seen. It is applied to leaders, as contrasted with the ordinary public, and to people of foreign lands. For instance, the Quran says: "O assembly of jinn and men, did there not come to you messengers from among you. . ." (6:131). As messengers from God only came to human beings, the jinn here are also humans, and the address "jinn and men" is to the leaders and the ordinary people. Similarly, the Quran twice mentions some jinn as accepting its teachings (46:29; 72:1). In the first case, a tribe of Jews is meant, and in the second some Christians are meant, being called jinn because of their remoteness. The word jinn is also used for a type of invisible, non-physical creation who stir up the lower desires in a person's mind. This is in contrast to the angels who draw a person's mind to the doing of good. http://aaiil.org/text/books/others/zahidaziz/introductionislam/appendixjinn.shtml The jinn mentioned in the Holy Quran are certainly not the genii of fairy tales or what people usually imagine them to be.

The hadith and Quran and sayings of Ahlul Bayt have loads of information regarding Jinn and thier nature. There is a documentary that does the best job of putting all the essential points regarding the nature of Jinn together and that is the documentary ''The Anti Christ Dajjal will Be a Reptilian Shapeshifter''by Hashemsfilms.
