A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to analyze this concept from a linguistic perspective. Data were collected through a literature review of the Qur’an and commentaries by scholars such as Quraish Shihab and Ibn Kathir. The analysis highlights the varied meanings of Jin across different contexts in the Quran, identifying its relational connections with other words in the holy text.
