Angels Quote by Hannah Lillith Assadi
““The bad angels were the jinn, and the good angels were the jinn too, and we spoke to them both in the desert. In Arabic, jinn has the same root as the word for paradise, jenna . The word for jinn and the word for paradise both have the same root as the word for madness, junun . To be close to the jinn is to be close to madness, is to be even closer to paradise.””
