'Are there any djinns in the desert, Shamsa?'
'Ummu William , djinns dare not come close where there is fire, salt, iron or the Holy Quran. There are both black & white djinns. Some are helpful while others are troublesome. Sometimes they appear from the trees, sometimes from animals...some control human beings, and during those times, people commit strange acts and attain superhuman powers!'
'Do you know that the word "djinn" or "genie" came from the English word "genius"?' 'Genius What does it mean , Ummu Wiliams?' 'Superhumans who are extraordinary sharp and exhibit unimaginable prowess.... The valley of Abghar in Arabia is renowned as the seating place of djinns. They were muses for creative souls.... and it is a valley of poets now.'
