The lives of jinn are very similar to the humans, they eat, they drink, they marry, they have their children, and even they are instructed and guided the same way as humans. We can clearly understand this statement by the following verse of Surah Al-An’am ,

"O company of jinn and mankind, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My verses and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?" They will say, "We bear witness against ourselves"; and the worldly life had deluded them, and they will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers. [6:130]

This verse shows that messengers were not only sent down to guide the humans but they were sent down to guide both the humans and jinn.

The jinn live in the parallel world to the humans and since they live in the different dimension the flow of time there is different too. Hence, the life span of jinn is far longer than the humans, they are said to live in around 1000 to 1500 years.

There are believers and unbelievers both, in regard to this creature “jinn”. The unbelievers are called “Satan”. Iblis was the jin who turned into unbeliever when he was asked by Allah to prostrate in front of Hazrat Adam (A.S) but he refused and he was cast out of heaven. Now, we call Iblis a Satan because he is an unbeliever. Jinn have the powers to see us but we (humans) cannot see them. The believers among the jinn try to take us on the wrong path and they try to take us away from the remembrance of Allah. Allah has already made us aware of this in the Surah Al-Araf, verse 27:

“O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe”.

The above verse clearly states that jinn have the power to see humans and to take possessions on the humans. The only way to keep ourselves safe from the evil beings is to pray five times, to walk on the path which Allah and His messenger (P.B.U.H) has shown us, and to follow the teaching of Quran, Sunnah, and Hadith.
