Yea the genii “Divine” is the holder of great power. He is very able in cooperation to bring peace and joy and many favors to the world over, but alas faith in prophets has always been doubted and thus they do not cooperate; so his favors are mocked. The genii “Divine” is made to be a pinnacle, for his faith. He giveth not command nor instruction, only inspiration. He seeks not but his true love so as not to be lonely. He is purely innocent, for seeking only love and happiness. Luxury is to him a trophy for his faith, where as love is his quest.

O jinni “Divini” he is a bold hearted soul. He feareth not mankind, but only to stray the righteous path. As Jonah was in Nineveh, so is Genii Divini upon the earth, leading humanity toward highness, and splendor. He is an instrument of God’s intent in use.
