#afreet

Text from The Element Encyclopedia of Ghosts & Hauntings by Theresa Cheung (HarperElement, 2013)

This is the sound of Afghanistan’s heart breaking. Afreet are Yousef Shah and Sulleiman Omar. Formerly of District Unknown and buddies of mine when we all shared stages during years in Kabul, they are now making music as a two piece. This latest lament for their breaking homeland has an extremely graphic video, but I urge you not to look away. What’s happening now in #Afghanistan is gut-wrenching, but the international community has a duty to help refugees escape and settled in safety.

Asked some friends for some noun’s & adjectives got unhinged, gay, afreet, & punch. This is the result

#Afreet An Afreet is a subclass of the Djinn. They are malevolent and powerful beings with great wisdom, but were known from lore to be evil and difficult to control. A few variations of spelling for Afreet are Ifrit, efreet, ifreet, afrite, and afrit and this supernatural sub-race of beings derive from Arabic and Islamic mythology. They are aclass of infernal Jinn, on a level below that of angels and devils, which are noted for their strength and cunning. An Ifrit is noted only once in the Qur'an, where it is willing to follow a command made by King Solomon to bring him The throne of the Queen of Sheba before "they" come to him in submission. An Afreet is said to be a massive winged creature, either male or female in gender, whom cannot be harmed by regular weapons(however magic is known to work on them). Afreets are known for their ruthlessness and even though they can reveal themselves as Positive or Negative, are more commonly encountered as negative.

Large, subterranean winged demon made of smoke. They have fire instead of blood in their veins. They are cunning, powerful and live forever, unless they become mortally wounded in battle, causing them to burst into flames.
