There was one question in your old question. "Are the ginies pure
spiritual being". 

We have three classes of creatures.
Angeles, who were created without the ability to disobey Allah. Not
        to say that they are good but because they are made so.

Ginnies : Can do good or bad on there choice. We are told that they are
        created of fire. Satan is one of those who hase chosen to do only
        bad. The ones who do good will be rewarded and the others will
        be punished.


Humans : Can do good or bad on ther choice. We are told that they are
       made of the sand. Same as ginnies they will be either reward or
       punished.
