Marid

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Arabic mythology, marides ( Arabic مارد, DMG Mārid ; German: rebellious, stubborn, also used as a term for powerful Shayāṭīn ( demons )) described as rulers of the jinn who find refuge in waters. They are the most powerful kind of jinn, proud and arrogant. Like any Djinn, they have free will but can be forced to perform tasks and are generally considered to be evil. They can fulfill people's wishes, but mostly a fight, certain rituals or a lot of flattery are a prerequisite for this. In the story of Sulayman , Sahr is mentioned as Marid among the demons. According to the story, he rebels against his conqueror and makes his ban ring, with which the jinn can be enslaved, and steals his kingdom from him.
