A little more details on the jinns and subclasses. Jinns never change from what they are born as. Shaitan is Satan the devil who was/is still a jinn, his original name was Azazel and though he was a jinn, he was very pious and had prayed and worshipped God for millennia. He was so pious that God had given him the abilityto come to heaven and mingle amongst the angels, he destroyed many of the evil jinn when God sent the angels. When God created Adam, Azazel didn't bow to him and was cast out, thus his name was changed to iblis. Shayateen are the jinns that follow him and his evil. They spread evil and whisper in human ears do that wrong may sin. Also the angels aren't of the jinn or shayateen since angels don't have free will.
@@holechimiah They can, but they were made specifically to carry out orders of Allah. They have no free will in the sense that they can go against Allah, that's why the concept of fallen angels is not a thing in Islam
Satan is a title which means the opposer. It is not one person. Did Islam confuse all those words before Christianity, because I'm pretty sure original Judaism barely has a devil. I think at one point the good and evil were two sides of the same God, but Judaism comes from the singular worship of the Canaanite god Yahweh who was then merged with El, King of the Gods. And then Mesopotamia with Anu and whatever. The parallels really aren't that cookie cutter, so it's *really fucking hard* to say who is a copy of who. Anu is the father of Enlil, who Zeus is a parallel of, but Zeus could also be a parallel for Yahweh! He has a sun god son and a wine god son. And Marduk could also be compared to Zeus, and he's the son of Ea/Enki, who can be paralleled with Poseidon, Pan, Prometheus, Loki, and Lucifer, among many others I'm sure. It's really confusing.
The coranic creatures can be (also) considered as archetypes (hero, anti-hero or personified social phenomena) that shape and dynamise the social reality as a whole
Some more on Hindu mythology would be sweet. Hinduism predates christianity and islam and they have ALOT of gods and stories which would be fun to watch.
well, christianity and Islam are just rehashing of previous religions of the middle east. Christianity in particular combines a lot of European pre-christian religions, the Saints are usually inpsired by gods like Zeus, Christmas for instance was a celebration of the Roman god of the Sun.
@@johnnycage112 bacon is usually made from pig, in which muslims can't eat. Pig, unlike other animals eg chicken, cow, camel (common choice for consumption), they barely have neck, and that affects by not being able to cut the required blood vessels, thus draining blood from the body effectively. Blood is considered dirty and not suitable for consumption. Alcohol makes you unable to think clearly. In performing prayer, one is required to give utmost focus and concentration. It's like meeting your higher up, have to be in best condition. Would you meet them being wasted? Also alcohol clouds judgement. Christianity and other religions also prohibit alcohol to an extent, not just Islam.
@@johnnycage112 Because pigs and boars are considered to be unclean and carry disease, and alcohol is prohibited because it means you cannot pray to the almighty and keep and maintain connection.
Iblis, and other jinns came from Jann (the first creation of their race, as Adam was the first human). Shaytans/syaitans (pl) are offsprings of Iblis. Before jinns, it is speculated the Hins (al-Hin) were the first creation that roamed the earth. In-between generations of the Hins and Jins, there were the Bins and Rams (al-Bin, al-Ram - either their own kind of race or maybe a hybrid of al-Hin; meanwhile humans are called al-Insaan). These races had always being in wars with one another. Until much, much later they were wiped off by the angels, few remained and one of them was brought by Gabriel/Jibril into heaven. He was the one named Azzazil (Later being Iblis). Aside from the wolf-shaped Hins, some other are known to be as the Polypp/Polippa folk. The Peri is kinda connected to them (just my opinion). In our local living, there are type of Jin race that are called Bunian (the veiled one), one that is from an interaction between human and jin. Their settlement is usually in the virgin forest. Most of the time the Bunians are muslims. (There are also Jins that believe in other human religions, but they don't live in big group/ community).
So I’ve never heard about angels being created on Wednesday, the djinn on Thursday, but I’m aware of the Friday creation of Mankind. It’s fascinating because I was wondering about the time between the Creation Days in the Genesis account possibly being 1000 years just the other day, and now you’re telling me it’s in Islamic tradition. How wonderful. I’m really looking forward to the day of the Return of Jesus. I want to see all the sons and daughters of Abraham live under Isa along with the Jews, finally seeing Him as Messiah! Thanks so much for sharing!😊
Not much point putting any stock in the jews, muslims or christians when it comes to the humanoid folk. Anything that's not 100% human they s#!T all over trad myth/legends. The fae are just a riff of """""""""ANGELS"""""""""" helping/misguiding humans. I researched as much of the world as resources have allowed, I'm confident all the religious happenings are the acts of an up tier civilization. Got a pretty sound theory now.
If you have read the Quran , the next verse says that Solomon asks if there is anyone who can bring the throne faster , and another Ifrit says that he can bring it before Solomon blinks , am not saying Jin can be trusted , in fact we are almost forbidden as Arab to even interact with them unless we are defending ourselves with prayers , and it is absolutely haram for us to even invoke them or call upon them for anything
Just to clarify something. Iblees was never an angel he was always a jinn. In Islam angels always obey god but Iblees became such a devout worshipper of Allah that Allah allowed him to be in the company of the angels but as yk he disobeyed god
Awesome !!! .... Vampires, Nospheratus and Werewolfs originally come from the "book of Nod" also in " the book of Cain " .... seem to be the oldest texts on this creatures . Great shows 👌 👏
You do know that's from a tabletop game right? The creators of the game made it up based on abrahamic mythos. It has no real basis in abrahamic beliefs.
Every single one of the mentioned critters has an older context and predates islam, christianity and the jews by a minimum of a 1000 years. That and I expect some of the ghastly buggers to be left over mega fauna from before the ice age. The Nemean lion was just an enormous cat who was hungry, irish black dog or hinn was a dire wolf, but the chimeras that exist in all cultures are impossible to explain without radical technology that mankind is only just now researching.
Out of all the religious mythologies I have read, Norse Mythology is by far the most entertaining to indulge into. Although, they're all a great read for the imagination.
Legends of History: Very dangerous. Me: How dangerous could it be? Legends of History: Description focused on its large phallus which it used to kill its victims through sexual assault. Me: ... I see.
This is really cool, and I so admire how you use the right sources to talk about the jinn. I just can't get over the images you use for the jinn here... they look a bit like "demons" , perhaps like ancient Persian demons (div) if that's what you were going for? I get the need to use striking images to hook people in, but everything about the jinn from the sources makes them no more evil than any human -- and if they are imperceptible -- why make them look like some Christian-nightmare demon beasties? All the Muslim accounts I know of make no mention of a grotesque appearance, and there's not much contrast with the shayatin in how you've represented them here. This is still really great, and thanks for putting this out!
There are a few good depictions of shayatin as bestial demons in history, and I tend to see that as accurate enough. They're bound to the blood of Iblis, and as such, broken creations with no will of their own, almost a parallel to the messengers of God. Difference being, Iblis is in no way as powerful or wise, hence the outcome of his spawn, which can only mimic God's creation as a sort of mockery or corruption; therefore beasts. It's why it's forbidden to create images of any living thing in the strictest sense of the scriptures, as we are just as capable of releasing evil, soulless creations upon the world, and the punishment of them turning against us is poetic irony. They, as false idols, take on a life of their own and override our human judgement and will. This is my best take on demons in most Abrahamic tradition. There's an odd hint of redemption though, at least if one considers that the law applies equally to human and djinn; the corrupt creations of Iblis turn upon him. And something else to consider, this is mirrored in man turning from God. It's the barest sliver of insight into the mind of God, and even suggesting that is arrogant, but it's the farthest I've come in trying to understand.
Regarding magic in Islam. There is no such thing as "Mystical Arcane Energy" like the ones shown in media. It's all jinns working. For example, if a sorcerer is levitating or flying, it's either jinns with wings or giant jinns lifting them up.
4:39 BTW no lies l have actually seen that apparition when I was like 4 years old. We used to live in this supposedly haunted house (well people said it was haunted) and I used to see this man , this thing sitting on like the storage shelves of the house. Same face and all. I don't know maybe 4 year old me imagining things? I swear I got chills when I saw that image. And also not only me but my mother also used to see like not the full apparition like me but like a shadow figure of sorts.
And living in that house was very chilling for me and my mother because my father is a cop so he's out all day or maybe sometimes he had night duty. I mean my mother and I were so scared my mother called my Uncle and his wife or my Great Grandma to stay the night whenever my father had night shifts. Like me and my mother were so scared she used to her brother to stay the night whenever my father had night shifts!!! And might I add that this house isn't in the middle of the woods. It literally has TWO banks in front of it. It is situated in the middle of an Indian neighborhood.
Afarit is the plural of ifrit 😁 and mostly are considered djens when talking about their race, however they are more powerful than regular djens. I would like to add that the scripture had no mention of buraq having a face, it is described having wings and looking like horse. And about pre human creation, old books mentioned hins snx mins very very old creatures lived on earth before Adam creation, sinful creatures gifted by freewill. When talking about houris.. they are not specifically women gendre only
When iblis doesent bow to the "clay/human" its acctually seen as the first "racist" event in islam. This is a warning not to be rasist and look down on something "lesser" then yourself. (This is just according to me) The punishment is interesting: he sent iblis "down" to try and decive gods creation. God belived in humanity so much that he acctualy accepted iblis offer.
Hahahahaha ok. “Muslims are the best of mankind” I seem to remember reading and also what about “Negis” and “Jews are pigs and monkeys” and “convert or die”? Do you guys lie to yourselves or is this Taqquia? You guys are literally told by your god that your going to hell if you’re friends with the Kaffar. Stop lying.
@@scienceandreligionden5903 this test isnt just for muslims its for everyone if you check the text again it says clay/humans... so ur argument doesent make sense. Is it wrong if i say nigerian? What are you talking about.
@@TunechiBangz so it's a test from God which him being all knowing already knows that most or some since this is the devil where talking about would fail the test but continues on with it anyways
There is a hadiysth of Prophet Mu'hammad 'S'AWS who said the Rguwl does not exist. The Huwrris are made from musk. Female humans in Paradise will be more beautiful then the Huwrris as the Huwrris never had to go hardship in this world. ALLAAH said HE made everything in a pair. The Huwrris are the female counterparts of the Malaa^ika. No Malaa^ika has ever appear as a female to the point Jibraa^iyl 'AS entered the chamber of Maryam bint Imraan in a form a striking young man. Same with Haruwt wa Maruwt, when they are tested with desire because of their speech, almost immediately they are attracted to women. The Malaa^ika are creatures with no desires. Zero. They are basically worker drones. They only do whatever ALLAAH commanded them to do. The Huwrris are the opposite of that that all the desire is placed in them.
As am ex Muslim i find this fascinating. Islamic mythology is quite unique because on one hand, the authors of the Quran plagiarized from jewish and christian sources, on the other hand, there is a massive pagan influence that made it's way into Islam too
I read something from a Muslim once who said Islam is less mythology and more "Believe in God or he'll damn you to Hell," or something like that. Is that more modern Islam? Also, isn't that also exactly Christianity? I don't remembed if I was talking to someone or if I read a RUclips comment. I just know I didn't make that up.
Since I appreciate your videos, let me tell you a thought of mine; Maybe we are in this world in order to learn where we actually belong. This means that Fate is not set in stone for us, and is known by Allah where we actually belong. Focusing on supernatural will not yield best results in Islam. If you are coming from any other Religion (what I call "mechanisms" of Faith), I recommend following basic concepts; not lying, staying true to your word as much as you can, do not commit zulüm (can be translated as intentional harm, most likely committed with anger etc.) And staying away from forbidden acts. Islam is considered as "Last Relevation" by Muslims. Note that not everyone agrees on a subject, but we try to form bridges of respect. So far it has not been possible, as far as I can see. If you haven't already, I recommend detailed study of Esmaül Hüsna (simple search query should be sufficient for English translation). Surah Nahl, Ayah 98 is highly recommended to be recited before Reading of Quran. Thank you for making such videos, however people should be careful while watching these ^^
Interestingly the fallen angels Harut and Marut mentioned in the Quran are one of the Zoroastrian archangels Haurvatat (Perfection) and Ameretat (Immortality)... What do they have to do with King Solomon and his time period? Who knows but according to the scholars that is the origins of both.
The lies of Harut and Marut were executing God's command in the city of Babylon. They were teaching people magic, and they were saying that this magic that you learned will make you enter the fire of hell.
The oldest Zoroastrian manuscript is from the 11 century and to late compared to the oldest Islamic ones so it's the other way around and they are completely unrelated and don't match the Islamic story so nope

demon = spirit. demon is the greek word spirit is the latin word faery is the celtic word djinn is the arabic word all for the same type of beings, beings in the middle of existence, between this world and the next one, they have no physical form and they can take on any physical form they want, but they have a standard representation and description in each culture.
"UNTIL NOW ALLAH IS ALSO AFRAID OF THE JIN BUT GOD ALLAH DOES NOT LACK OF REASON," TO BECOME POWERFUL IS BY LYING TO THE JIN AND PEOPLE, BY CONFESSING CREATING HELL. !?
Salamalaikum/Shalomelecheme/May God’s peace be unto you,The word Djinn means as in people we name,Humans and Djinn meaning another of Allah’s creations the evil gin, being Demons in English, I called shayatin all Demons, I’m not shouting, just like all humans I’m not evil they could also be shayatin meaning, evil and are against Allah/Elohim/God also, the gin live amongst us. We cannot see them, but they could see us. Clearly they are not supposed to come into our room basically past us next to us go through us et cetera. They’re not allowed by gods law to come into our room, possess us or interfere with humanity only there Djinn are summons by sorceress and the kind of Djinn that are summoned summoned, are the shayatin the human, summoning them can also be called shayatin, humanity, and Djinn have free will angels do not them having free will like us. Humans will be held to account my God and they live in similar structures. Just like we do the Marie they have children as Christians Hindus ,Buddhists and other religions they live far longer than we do for hundreds summer from thousands of years, but they do die, Islam does not say that the Djinns are all evil or all good as mentioned, only theShatatin are evil, and the rest are known as Djinns they come into our world when summoned or some fall in love with a man or a woman, and they possess them, and that is from their own free. Will then when noticed they are exercised in Arabic or in Islam this is called Rukiyah all Djinns aren’t evil as you have mentioned and I state in Islam, we have now fallen Angels and the Djinns are not angels, and they have nothing or anything to do with angels. Angels do not have a freedom of choice, only humanity and the Djinn have freedom of choice, where the angels they only obey Allah’s/Elohim’s/God’s commands the Djinn was created well before humanity. They created such evil and bloodshed on Earth that God commanded the angels to go into battle with them on Earth. This is where Satan and his name was not Satan at the time his name was,Iblis and worshipped God so much the angels and God was so pleased with him. The angels asked for him to be elevated to the first level of heaven, then the second third, fourth, fifth sixth, and then the seventh then God commanded the angels to go into battle and destroyed the mischief makers, and once you spill blood on Earth, and Iblis volunteered to lead the angels into battle against the evil Djinns being Shayatines evil Djinns the word Djinn comes from and means the unseen Rağib the ğ is a silent g,as for Iblis who is now known as Shaytan for disobeying Allah Allah deformed Eblis from then on, he was known as Shaytan the accursed one for Allah damned him and as for Shaytan creating anything that’s not correct for ONLY ALLAH can CREATE and ONLY ALLAH for the definition of create is to make something out of nothing, and all Allah has to say “To Be” and it is. In Arabic Allah/Elohim/God says”Kun fayah Kun” and it is.SORRY but there are far to many Mistakes in this Video clip and your research is far from the truth or your research has not been done correctly or alternatively you have left out what you want to leave out. That’s my line in the religion of Islam which if that’s the case is shame on you, you should never malign any religion, or any belief, and tell the truth, the whole truth for you have left out a lot of the chapters and verses and you’ve only said what you want to say like how IBLIS became SHATAN et cetera, et cetera such as the Djinn’s and the angels and so forth far too many mistakes. Sorry but you need to go back and there was it from scratch for I study comparative religion and history so I know the Torah, Bible and the Holy Quran for I have studied comparative religions also history have a good evening and try again.

well, christianity and Islam are just rehashing of previous religions of the middle east. Christianity in particular combines a lot of European pre-christian religions, the Saints are usually inpsired by gods like Zeus, Christmas for instance was a celebration of the Roman god of the Sun.
They are fake.
@@stenson18 🥲ok but how u know yours is true
Fallen angels and followers of satan! Not Gods
I was wondering when you were going to do mythology from an Islamic perspective...Great Job!!!
As Muslim, this is neat. Great video and good research.
There is only one GOD
Hi sorry to ask out of the blue but why can't Muslims eat bacon or drink alcohol?
@@jaykisuke3397 Okay, but what does that have to do with this?
@@johnnycage112 bacon is usually made from pig, in which muslims can't eat. Pig, unlike other animals eg chicken, cow, camel (common choice for consumption), they barely have neck, and that affects by not being able to cut the required blood vessels, thus draining blood from the body effectively. Blood is considered dirty and not suitable for consumption.
Alcohol makes you unable to think clearly. In performing prayer, one is required to give utmost focus and concentration. It's like meeting your higher up, have to be in best condition. Would you meet them being wasted? Also alcohol clouds judgement. Christianity and other religions also prohibit alcohol to an extent, not just Islam.
@@johnnycage112 Because pigs and boars are considered to be unclean and carry disease, and alcohol is prohibited because it means you cannot pray to the almighty and keep and maintain connection.
Iblis, and other jinns came from Jann (the first creation of their race, as Adam was the first human). Shaytans/syaitans (pl) are offsprings of Iblis. Before jinns, it is speculated the Hins (al-Hin) were the first creation that roamed the earth. In-between generations of the Hins and Jins, there were the Bins and Rams (al-Bin, al-Ram - either their own kind of race or maybe a hybrid of al-Hin; meanwhile humans are called al-Insaan). These races had always being in wars with one another. Until much, much later they were wiped off by the angels, few remained and one of them was brought by Gabriel/Jibril into heaven. He was the one named Azzazil (Later being Iblis).
Aside from the wolf-shaped Hins, some other are known to be as the Polypp/Polippa folk. The Peri is kinda connected to them (just my opinion). In our local living, there are type of Jin race that are called Bunian (the veiled one), one that is from an interaction between human and jin. Their settlement is usually in the virgin forest. Most of the time the Bunians are muslims. (There are also Jins that believe in other human religions, but they don't live in big group/ community).
Jinn believe in Christianity and Judaism, and there are a large number of them Zoroastrians
Where exactly did you get the name Azzazil for Iblis? I'm looking for an actual reference.
@@stevesmith4901 His real name is Azazel
So I’ve never heard about angels being created on Wednesday, the djinn on Thursday, but I’m aware of the Friday creation of Mankind. It’s fascinating because I was wondering about the time between the Creation Days in the Genesis account possibly being 1000 years just the other day, and now you’re telling me it’s in Islamic tradition. How wonderful.
I’m really looking forward to the day of the Return of Jesus. I want to see all the sons and daughters of Abraham live under Isa along with the Jews, finally seeing Him as Messiah!
Thanks so much for sharing!😊
Another interesting video from the legend of History himself !
I would love to see you do a series on stories of the traditional Fae
Not much point putting any stock in the jews, muslims or christians when it comes to the humanoid folk.
Anything that's not 100% human they s#!T all over trad myth/legends. The fae are just a riff of """""""""ANGELS"""""""""" helping/misguiding humans. I researched as much of the world as resources have allowed, I'm confident all the religious happenings are the acts of an up tier civilization. Got a pretty sound theory now.
I love the mythical creatures. Your videos bring them to life.👍🏼 Thanx much.
Hi Lynn Mitzy🙃👋🏻💕
Enjoy your weekend!
@@nancyM1313 hiya Nancy 💐💖⚡💪🏼
Good and interesting video bro! Would love to see more like this!
If you have read the Quran , the next verse says that Solomon asks if there is anyone who can bring the throne faster , and another Ifrit says that he can bring it before Solomon blinks , am not saying Jin can be trusted , in fact we are almost forbidden as Arab to even interact with them unless we are defending ourselves with prayers , and it is absolutely haram for us to even invoke them or call upon them for anything
Just to clarify something. Iblees was never an angel he was always a jinn. In Islam angels always obey god but Iblees became such a devout worshipper of Allah that Allah allowed him to be in the company of the angels but as yk he disobeyed god
In Islam we are earth creatures. While the jin are fire creatures. Also Satan was a jin too
Awesome !!! .... Vampires, Nospheratus and Werewolfs originally come from the "book of Nod" also in " the book of Cain " .... seem to be the oldest texts on this creatures . Great shows 👌 👏
You do know that's from a tabletop game right? The creators of the game made it up based on abrahamic mythos. It has no real basis in abrahamic beliefs.
This video is more indepth than the sheikh ever told me about the Jinns.
Cuz most of it is not true but this have a good amount of information
You should make a video about Turkish mythology, there are quite interesting things.
This
Shay'taan is a state. The last suwra int the Qur^aan An-Naas declare there are shaya'tiyn from among Jinnkind and Mankind.
Every single one of the mentioned critters has an older context and predates islam, christianity and the jews by a minimum of a 1000 years.
That and I expect some of the ghastly buggers to be left over mega fauna from before the ice age.
The Nemean lion was just an enormous cat who was hungry, irish black dog or hinn was a dire wolf, but the chimeras that exist in all cultures are impossible to explain without radical technology that mankind is only just now researching.
Out of all the religious mythologies I have read, Norse Mythology is by far the most entertaining to indulge into. Although, they're all a great read for the imagination.
the design for the Peri really reminds me of the digimon Angewomon
Arabic mythos has some badass creatures.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Legends of History: Very dangerous.
Me: How dangerous could it be?
Legends of History: Description focused on its large phallus which it used to kill its victims through sexual assault.
Me: ... I see.
Enjoyed this immensely
This is really cool, and I so admire how you use the right sources to talk about the jinn.
I just can't get over the images you use for the jinn here... they look a bit like "demons" , perhaps like ancient Persian demons (div) if that's what you were going for? I get the need to use striking images to hook people in, but everything about the jinn from the sources makes them no more evil than any human -- and if they are imperceptible -- why make them look like some Christian-nightmare demon beasties? All the Muslim accounts I know of make no mention of a grotesque appearance, and there's not much contrast with the shayatin in how you've represented them here.
This is still really great, and thanks for putting this out!
Ironically, demons are not supposed to be inherently evil either.
There are a few good depictions of shayatin as bestial demons in history, and I tend to see that as accurate enough. They're bound to the blood of Iblis, and as such, broken creations with no will of their own, almost a parallel to the messengers of God. Difference being, Iblis is in no way as powerful or wise, hence the outcome of his spawn, which can only mimic God's creation as a sort of mockery or corruption; therefore beasts. It's why it's forbidden to create images of any living thing in the strictest sense of the scriptures, as we are just as capable of releasing evil, soulless creations upon the world, and the punishment of them turning against us is poetic irony. They, as false idols, take on a life of their own and override our human judgement and will. This is my best take on demons in most Abrahamic tradition. There's an odd hint of redemption though, at least if one considers that the law applies equally to human and djinn; the corrupt creations of Iblis turn upon him. And something else to consider, this is mirrored in man turning from God. It's the barest sliver of insight into the mind of God, and even suggesting that is arrogant, but it's the farthest I've come in trying to understand.
@@Anti-HyperLink Satan means rebellious and far from God's mercy
Regarding magic in Islam. There is no such thing as "Mystical Arcane Energy" like the ones shown in media. It's all jinns working. For example, if a sorcerer is levitating or flying, it's either jinns with wings or giant jinns lifting them up.
as a muslim this is so cool
you did your research pretty well
wonderful I myself am a scholar of such things I enjoy your content sir
4:39 BTW no lies l have actually seen that apparition when I was like 4 years old. We used to live in this supposedly haunted house (well people said it was haunted) and I used to see this man , this thing sitting on like the storage shelves of the house. Same face and all. I don't know maybe 4 year old me imagining things? I swear I got chills when I saw that image. And also not only me but my mother also used to see like not the full apparition like me but like a shadow figure of sorts.
And living in that house was very chilling for me and my mother because my father is a cop so he's out all day or maybe sometimes he had night duty. I mean my mother and I were so scared my mother called my Uncle and his wife or my Great Grandma to stay the night whenever my father had night shifts. Like me and my mother were so scared she used to her brother to stay the night whenever my father had night shifts!!! And might I add that this house isn't in the middle of the woods. It literally has TWO banks in front of it. It is situated in the middle of an Indian neighborhood.
@@tanujkhare4957 Why didn't you read the Bible, you know that the devils will die when you hear the word of God

Nice video. I enjoyed it.
iyt should also be noted that even if you don't belive in thses ccreatures your still a muslim as long as you belive in allah
Wow! That's a lot of Egyptian parallels!
If Iblis and Inubis aren't related... Just, WoW!
Afarit is the plural of ifrit 😁 and mostly are considered djens when talking about their race, however they are more powerful than regular djens.
I would like to add that the scripture had no mention of buraq having a face, it is described having wings and looking like horse.
And about pre human creation, old books mentioned hins snx mins very very old creatures lived on earth before Adam creation, sinful creatures gifted by freewill.
When talking about houris.. they are not specifically women gendre only
Every time I see a notification for a new video on this channel, the name reminds me of EPIC RAP BATTLES OF HISTORY‼️🤣
🤣🤣👍
The Ghaddar looks like Anubis and in Akbar al Zaman a middle eastern manuscript says the gods of Egypt are actually Jinn.
didn't you wanted to say "Arabian pre-Islamic creatures" and not "Islamic or pre-Arabic creatures" ?
So very interesting!! Thank you for researching these tales.
When iblis doesent bow to the "clay/human" its acctually seen as the first "racist" event in islam. This is a warning not to be rasist and look down on something "lesser" then yourself.
(This is just according to me)
The punishment is interesting: he sent iblis "down" to try and decive gods creation. God belived in humanity so much that he acctualy accepted iblis offer.
I agree with that interpretation...
Hahahahaha ok. “Muslims are the best of mankind” I seem to remember reading and also what about “Negis” and “Jews are pigs and monkeys” and “convert or die”? Do you guys lie to yourselves or is this Taqquia?
You guys are literally told by your god that your going to hell if you’re friends with the Kaffar. Stop lying.
@@scienceandreligionden5903 this test isnt just for muslims its for everyone if you check the text again it says clay/humans... so ur argument doesent make sense. Is it wrong if i say nigerian? What are you talking about.
@@TunechiBangz Ny argument is that Muslims are racist because Allah and Mohammed instructs them to be.

There is a hadiysth of Prophet Mu'hammad 'S'AWS who said the Rguwl does not exist.
The Huwrris are made from musk. Female humans in Paradise will be more beautiful then the Huwrris as the Huwrris never had to go hardship in this world.
ALLAAH said HE made everything in a pair. The Huwrris are the female counterparts of the Malaa^ika. No Malaa^ika has ever appear as a female to the point Jibraa^iyl 'AS entered the chamber of Maryam bint Imraan in a form a striking young man. Same with Haruwt wa Maruwt, when they are tested with desire because of their speech, almost immediately they are attracted to women.
The Malaa^ika are creatures with no desires. Zero. They are basically worker drones. They only do whatever ALLAAH commanded them to do. The Huwrris are the opposite of that that all the desire is placed in them.
As am ex Muslim i find this fascinating.
Islamic mythology is quite unique because on one hand, the authors of the Quran plagiarized from jewish and christian sources, on the other hand, there is a massive pagan influence that made it's way into Islam too

I read something from a Muslim once who said Islam is less mythology and more "Believe in God or he'll damn you to Hell," or something like that.
Is that more modern Islam? Also, isn't that also exactly Christianity?

Can you do some videos on Zoroastrianism and an alleged prophet named Manni or something? Please?
The Zoroastrians killed the Prophet Manu in the era of the Sasanian state
Good video thanks
مافيه احد يترجم ؟
Since I appreciate your videos, let me tell you a thought of mine;
Maybe we are in this world in order to learn where we actually belong.
This means that Fate is not set in stone for us, and is known by Allah where we actually belong.
Focusing on supernatural will not yield best results in Islam.
If you are coming from any other Religion (what I call "mechanisms" of Faith), I recommend following basic concepts; not lying, staying true to your word as much as you can, do not commit zulüm (can be translated as intentional harm, most likely committed with anger etc.) And staying away from forbidden acts.
Islam is considered as "Last Relevation" by Muslims. Note that not everyone agrees on a subject, but we try to form bridges of respect.
So far it has not been possible, as far as I can see.
If you haven't already, I recommend detailed study of Esmaül Hüsna (simple search query should be sufficient for English translation).
Surah Nahl, Ayah 98 is highly recommended to be recited before Reading of Quran.
Thank you for making such videos, however people should be careful while watching these ^^
very beautyfull to learn about it and interesting
the way the Gheddar are spoken of makes me think of what Pennywise would be if he had a fursona
You have a very interesting voice.
Evil jinns are not called shaytan, theyre called Iblees. Sheytan is only one.
It’s the other way around
There should be fabtastical moviee about those folklores
*The purpose of creating the jinns*
Allah (The Creator) says in the Quran:
*_"I did not create jinn and humans except to worship Me."_*
(Quran 51:56)
Who are keen to study them
Ifrit is singular, and afarit is for plural

I see most people here enjoy hearing about these things. I find it entertaining too. But I wonder where such fanciful ideas originated.
Buraq is a horse/ camel with wings, not some creature with human head
This is not what Mohammid told his believers it is not an islamic teachings from the original but a pagan belief system..

Good jinn is a surprise.
Interestingly the fallen angels Harut and Marut mentioned in the Quran are one of the Zoroastrian archangels Haurvatat (Perfection) and Ameretat (Immortality)... What do they have to do with King Solomon and his time period? Who knows but according to the scholars that is the origins of both.
The lies of Harut and Marut were executing God's command in the city of Babylon. They were teaching people magic, and they were saying that this magic that you learned will make you enter the fire of hell.
The oldest Zoroastrian manuscript is from the 11 century and to late compared to the oldest Islamic ones so it's the other way around
and they are completely unrelated and don't match the Islamic story so nope
I have more information and contact with this djin and I like to be in connection with one
If u read the French and German newspaper of middlages ..It's full of werefull references.
Same thing abo75 vampires(strigoi) in Eastern Europe. A vampire is always de0icted as a extremely rich powerfull individual that sucks the soul(blood) out of you comon people.Werewolf was m9re of a deranged maniac hid8ng 8j the woods
This is strange, aren't these politicians, and why do they say that Vlad the Impaler is a vampire while he was defending his land?
Minute 18:10 is exactly talking about the secret societies and elitists ruling the world
Never go outside during an arabian night
Please say P.B.U.H after mentioning the PROPHET ❤️❤️❤️❤️
These are the fallen angels

19:10 I can only eat with my left hand. My right hand is stronger and I use it for the knife.
demon = spirit.
demon is the greek word
spirit is the latin word
faery is the celtic word
djinn is the arabic word
all for the same type of beings, beings in the middle of existence, between this world and the next one, they have no physical form and they can take on any physical form they want, but they have a standard representation and description in each culture.
The jinn and demons do not have a physical form, but humans cannot see it, but animals can see it
Muslim: "Join our cause, brother"
Me: "And why the hell would I do that?!"
Muslim: *Shows an image of Peri*
Me: "ALLAHUH AKBAR" 😎
What the Hell are the Jinn ?
You Christians call them devils or evil spirits
"UNTIL NOW ALLAH IS ALSO AFRAID OF THE JIN BUT GOD ALLAH DOES NOT LACK OF REASON," TO BECOME POWERFUL IS BY LYING TO THE JIN AND PEOPLE, BY CONFESSING CREATING HELL. !?
First comment! 🥳🥳🥳
👍🏼🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Salamalaikum/Shalomelecheme/May God’s peace be unto you,The word Djinn means as in people we name,Humans and Djinn meaning another of Allah’s creations the evil gin, being Demons in English, I called shayatin all Demons, I’m not shouting, just like all humans I’m not evil they could also be shayatin meaning, evil and are against Allah/Elohim/God also, the gin live amongst us. We cannot see them, but they could see us. Clearly they are not supposed to come into our room basically past us next to us go through us et cetera. They’re not allowed by gods law to come into our room, possess us or interfere with humanity only there Djinn are summons by sorceress and the kind of Djinn that are summoned summoned, are the shayatin the human, summoning them can also be called shayatin, humanity, and Djinn have free will angels do not them having free will like us. Humans will be held to account my God and they live in similar structures. Just like we do the Marie they have children as Christians Hindus ,Buddhists and other religions they live far longer than we do for hundreds summer from thousands of years, but they do die, Islam does not say that the Djinns are all evil or all good as mentioned, only theShatatin are evil, and the rest are known as Djinns they come into our world when summoned or some fall in love with a man or a woman, and they possess them, and that is from their own free. Will then when noticed they are exercised in Arabic or in Islam this is called Rukiyah all Djinns aren’t evil as you have mentioned and I state in Islam, we have now fallen Angels and the Djinns are not angels, and they have nothing or anything to do with angels. Angels do not have a freedom of choice, only humanity and the Djinn have freedom of choice, where the angels they only obey Allah’s/Elohim’s/God’s commands the Djinn was created well before humanity. They created such evil and bloodshed on Earth that God commanded the angels to go into battle with them on Earth. This is where Satan and his name was not Satan at the time his name was,Iblis and worshipped God so much the angels and God was so pleased with him. The angels asked for him to be elevated to the first level of heaven, then the second third, fourth, fifth sixth, and then the seventh then God commanded the angels to go into battle and destroyed the mischief makers, and once you spill blood on Earth, and Iblis volunteered to lead the angels into battle against the evil Djinns being Shayatines evil Djinns the word Djinn comes from and means the unseen Rağib the ğ is a silent g,as for Iblis who is now known as Shaytan for disobeying Allah Allah deformed Eblis from then on, he was known as Shaytan the accursed one for Allah damned him and as for Shaytan creating anything that’s not correct for ONLY ALLAH can CREATE and ONLY ALLAH for the definition of create is to make something out of nothing, and all Allah has to say “To Be” and it is. In Arabic Allah/Elohim/God says”Kun fayah Kun” and it is.SORRY but there are far to many Mistakes in this Video clip and your research is far from the truth or your research has not been done correctly or alternatively you have left out what you want to leave out. That’s my line in the religion of Islam which if that’s the case is shame on you, you should never malign any religion, or any belief, and tell the truth, the whole truth for you have left out a lot of the chapters and verses and you’ve only said what you want to say like how IBLIS became SHATAN et cetera, et cetera such as the Djinn’s and the angels and so forth far too many mistakes. Sorry but you need to go back and there was it from scratch for I study comparative religion and history so I know the Torah, Bible and the Holy Quran for I have studied comparative religions also history have a good evening and try again.
