Bismillahir-Rehman-ir-Raheem!
A lot of viewers have been posting queries regarding the existence of jinn. Before you start reading let me tell you nothing can harm you without the will of Allah. So have faith in your God as to him we are answerable.

This is my attempt to gather up information to answer your questions directly from the source of Quran and Hadith. On a beginning note there is Surah in the Quran called Surah 72 Al-Jinn. You might also find the article 'What/Who/Why are Jinn? Do they exist?' beneficial if you are just wanting to attain information on Jinns.

I've used SearchTruth.com as the source of this info. So the answers to all questions are available in Arabic, Transliteration, Urdu, Yusuf Ali, Shakir, Picthal, Mohsin Khan, French, Spanish, Indonesian, Melayu, German)

Q3. Were Jinns created before Humans?
Ans: That's a very touchy question, I cannot be definite about it. But you might get an idea from "And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind"
(Surah Al-Hijr, Chapter #15, Verse #27)

Q4. If Human were made of clay what are Jinns made of?
Ans: "And He created Jinns from fire free of smoke"
(Surah Al-Rahman, Chapter #55, Verse #15)

Q5. Will Jinns be accountable for their deeds like humans?
Ans: Yes Jinns will be accountable for good and bad that they did on earth and will accordingly be punished or rewarded on Judgement Day.
"Except those on whom thy Lord hath bestowed His Mercy: and for this did He create them: and the Word of thy Lord shall be fulfilled: "I will fill Hell with jinns and men all together."
(Surah Hud, Chapter #11, Verse #119)

"And they have invented a blood-relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment- Seat)!"
(Surah As-Saaffat, Chapter #37, Verse #158)

Q6. Do Jinns have families and ancestors?
Ans: Yes Jinns have families and kids and marraiges similar to how humans do.
"He will say: "Enter ye in the company of the peoples who passed away before you - men and jinns, - into the Fire." Every time a new people enters, it curses its sister-people (that went before), until they follow each other, all into the Fire. Saith the last about the first: "Our Lord! it is these that misled us: so give them a double penalty in the Fire." He will say: "Doubled for all" : but this ye do not understand."
(Surah Al-Araf, Chapter #7, Verse #38)

Q7. Was Shaitan, the devil a Jinn?
Ans: Yes Shaitan (Iblis, Devil) was the only angel made out of fire. It say's in the Quran that:
"Behold! We said to the angels, "Bow down to Adam": They bowed down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord. Will ye then take him and his progeny as protectors rather than Me? And they are enemies to you! Evil would be the exchange for the wrong-doers!"
(Surah Al-Kahf, Chapter #18, Verse #50)
This does'nt mean that all Jinns are Shaitaan or Devil. Like I discussed in the earlier question Jinns are good and bad, they follow different religions, and have their ranks and differences. They shall be questioned on the day of judgement accordingly.
