Ifrit

Beings

Smoke-born fiery jinn of Quranic and tale speech. Not jinn, and not demon.

Islam

  • Ifrit appears in Islam.

    The Qur’an (27:39) has an ifrit of the jinn offer to bring the throne. Islamic scripture’s named powerful jinn-being, not the already-walked jinn class edge alone and not a fairy label.
