Intro
It seems that Tafsir-i-Kabir was published between 1947 and 1957 from Rabwah, Pakistan (maybe the first volume was published from India). Nevertheless, in Chapter 15:27 (15:28 in the Qadiani Quran), the 2nd Qadiani-Khalifa, Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad alleged that Jinn= white people from North Europe (See Tafseer-e-Kabeer Volume 5 Page 288-289, Surah Hijr 15 verse 28). They also alleged that the Inuits and Siberians (red skinned peoples) were also Jinn. In the same era, the first ever full English translation of the Quran was published by the Qadiani’s (by Maulvi Sher Ali) from Holland and also told the world that in Chapter 15:27, (15:28 in the Qadiani Quran) Jinn= white people from North Europe. These ideas were stolen by Elijah Poole and his Nation of Islam and used to create their Kufri ideology. Lastly, it should be noted that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad seems to have supported the common theory of Jinn in Islam. Moreover, the 2nd Qadiani-Khalifa, Mirza Basheer ud Din Mahmud Ahmad quoted Rabi Eliezer as the originator of the idea that Jinn= white people from North Europe.
In the famous 1988 (and the 2018 edition), 5-volume commentary on the Quran, Malik Ghulam Farid totally denied the normal islamic beliefs about Jinn (See 15:28 in the Ahmadi numbering system), he seems to have copied Muhammad Ali’s commentary and wrote that this only refers to “men with a fiery temperament. But he doesn’t stop there, he quotes the writings of Maulvi Sher Ali and alleges under 15:27 (15:28 in the Qadiani numbering system) refers to white people from the Northern Hilly areas of Europe, he then even quotes 55:15, 55:39 and 55:56 (55:16, 55:40 and 55:57 in the Qadiani numbering system). From 1956 to 1993, this seemed to be the Qadiani-Ahmadi belief, however, in 1994, Mirza Tahir Ahmad admitted that Satan was called as a Jinn, however, he didn’t elaborate further, he purposely gave a muffled answer. Then, in 1997, he said that believing in Jinn isn’t required for a Muslim. Mirza Tahir Ahmad never quoted MGA on Jinn. By 1998, Mirza Tahir Ahmad described them as bacteria.

The word “Jinn” is also used for people who live in the Northern Cold Climates Because the word “Jinn” refers to the hidden existence It is said that this is why the word Jinn in the Holy Qur’an is also used by the Arabs and other nations as idioms for people who lived in the northern regions and cold countries. Due to the extreme cold weather people would not travel to such cold places and the people of the cold climate would not travel to the hot climate regions. So due to their living in the cold climates their skin color was White and they drank a lot of Alcohol which gave them a Reddish complexion. The people of Asia considered the northern nations as so different type of beings. They named them Jinn and Fairy’s regularly.

—According to the Jews, Jinn lived in the Northern Areas. Just as I have written above it is the belief of the Jews that the Jinn lived in the northern regions. Therefore, Rabi Eliezer has written in his book that the Jinn predominately live in the northern areas.
—The Hindus have also proposed the place of Jinn in the north.So The Hindus also state that the Jinn are from the northern regions. As mentioned before, according to the Hindus, the territory of the Gandhara people was in the north-west of India, and the city of Taxila, which was in the Hazara region, was called the city of the Gandharva region. And they called the area north of the Indus River their habitat. i.e. to Hazara Afghanistan etc. Among the stories that are famous among Muslims the abode of giants is considered to be Mount Qaaf and the area beyond it.
—Reason why people of northern regions are called Jinn: Therefore it is obvious the people of the northern region that are reddish and white people of the northern regions who were almost completely separated from Asia under cultural conditions and came here very rarely and also in terms of religion and customs were separate according to the inhabitants of Asia who were civilized at that time, they were In terms of their appearance and in terms of being away from Asia (perhaps the Hindus not only because of the appearance of the inhabitants of the north-western region but also because of their strength and power as they always attacked India. They were the ones who declared them Jinn).
—In Surah Rahman the Northern People are called “Jinn”: According to the same idiom in Surah Rahman, the northern people referring to the European people as Jinn. In this surah, the end times are referred to by mentioning how the change would come about and there would be the two Easts and Wests. Like the discovery of America which has an East and West. In the same way, the meeting of two oceans and the passage of huge ships through the Suez Canal are reported. Similarly, it is said that with the progress of science at that time, people will be preoccupied with the idea of conquering the heavenly kingdom and will think that they will soon they are about to discover the secrets of the universe. At that time fire will fall from the sky and bombs will fall and red lights will be released in the sky and finally Islam will be dominated by destroying disbelief and polytheism. In the context of this article, Jinn and Humans (Ins) has also been addressed, and Jinn refers to the people of the northern regions, i.e. Europeans and mentions that Europeans and Asians will unite and there will be big advancements in science, however due to the lack of religious vigor God will punish them and then Islam will be established.

Tafsir ibn Kathir on 15:27
QTafsir | The Substances from which Mank—
The Substances from which Mankind and Jinns were created
Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah said that Salsal means dry mud. The apparent meaning is similar to the Ayah:
(He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the potter’s clay, And He created the Jinns from a smokeless flame of fire.) (55:14-15) It was also reported from Mujahid that,
(dried (sounding) clay) means “putrid”, but it is more appropriate to interpret an Ayah with another Ayah.
(of altered mud) means the dried clay that comes from mud, which is soil. “Altered” here means smooth.
(And the Jinn, We created earlier) means before creating humans.
(from the smokeless flame of fire.) Ibn `Abbas said, “It is the smokeless flame that kills.” Abu Dawud At-Tayalisi said that Shu`bah narrated to them from Abu Ishaq, who said: “I visited `Umar Al-Asamm when he was sick, and he said: `Shall I not tell you a Hadith that I heard from `Abdullah bin Mas`ud He said: `This smokeless flame is one of the seventy parts of the smokeless fire from which the Jinn where created. Then he recited,
(And the Jinn, We created earlier from the smokeless flame of fire).”’ The following is found in the Sahih,
(The angels were created from light, the Jinn were created from a smokeless flame of fire, and Adam was created from that which has been described to you.) The Ayah is intended to point out the noble nature, good essence and pure origin of Adam.
(28. And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: “I am going to create a man (Adam) from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud. ”) (29. “So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him (Adam) of My spirit (the soul which I created for him,) then fall down, prostrating yourselves before him.”) (30. So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together.) (31. Except Iblis (Shaytan) – he refused to be among the prostrate.) (32. (Allah) said: “O Iblis! What is your reason for not being among the prostrate” (33. Iblis ﴾said: “I am not one to prostrate myself to a human, whom You created from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud.”)
