Jinn & Devils Browser

Jinn, devils and demons, angels, and the dreams that carry them — every being, encounter and report the Qur'an, the hadith, the seerah and the harvested books record, gathered in one browser with its sources.

This build holds 181 records in 4 sections; texts are draft until a human reads them.

The browser's method

Every record here is an ordinary museum record — cited, trilingual — grouped by the tags jinn-devils-browser and jd-<section> inside the one graph, not in a side table; angel records the Angels Browser also carries appear here under the angels section. The Qur'an text is the frozen Tanzil text, shown on the subject pages by reference only, and the hadith cards link to the reports' own pages. Future harvested books join the browser automatically once their records carry the tag.

The whole dataset is at /api/v1/jinn-devils.json
