Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Jinx win this lane: your W on Rakan's W approach is a hard counter to his primary engage tool, your E on Jinx negates Samira's burst window, and your Q poke combined with Jinx's rockets creates a range advantage that Samira cannot bridge safely.
Post-6, your job becomes harder because Rakan's R is a larger-scale engage that your W can only partially answer — you must prioritize W on Rakan over Jinx's shield in that moment.

Your best trading pattern is to Q poke Rakan whenever he steps forward to threaten an engage, then immediately W him if he commits — this forces him to burn his W defensively or get polymorphed mid-engage.
Save your E for the moment Samira dashes in rather than pre-shielding Jinx, because Samira's damage window is short and the shield timing must match her burst.

You should not roam in this matchup — Jinx is immobile and Samira+Rakan will immediately all-in her the moment you leave lane, and Jinx cannot survive a 2v1 against that dive threat.
Stay in lane, maintain vision of Rakan's position, and only consider a short river ward trip when the wave is frozen safely near your tower.

Do not use your W on Samira when Rakan is still threatening an engage — Samira is not the primary threat, Rakan's CC chain is, and wasting W on the wrong target means Rakan lands his W freely and Samira gets a full passive stack rotation.
Prioritize your W as an anti-engage tool on Rakan first, then use E and Q to deal with Samira's follow-up.
