Arabic and Islamic folklore
2 records of Arabic and Islamic folklore — the beings, warnings and stories the tradition keeps, with sources.
IfritIn Islamic scripture the word ʿifrīt appears once, as “an ifrit of the jinn,” an epithet of a powerful, rebellious being. Later folklore turned ifrit into a class of formidable jinn, often of smoke and ruin, morally capable of belief or unbelief. Distinct from the wider category already archived as Jinn.JinnJinn are beings in Arabic and Islamic traditions with wide-ranging depictions, moral qualities, and religious meanings; this record avoids treating a living tradition as a generic monster catalogue.
