Homonym: Jinni (Genie)
A Jinni, also known as a genie, is a supernatural being found in Middle Eastern folklore, particularly in Islamic culture. Traditionally, Jinn are believed to be made of smokeless fire and possess free will, allowing them to choose between good and evil. They can take various forms, including human and animal, and are often associated with granting wishes to those who summon them.
In literature, Jinn are famously featured in stories like One Thousand and One Nights, where they interact with humans, sometimes helping them and other times causing trouble. The concept of Jinn has influenced various cultures and has been adapted into modern media, including films and books, where they are often depicted as magical wish-granters.
