    Genies were supernatural creatures in early pre-Islamic Arabian and later Islamic mythology and theology.

    According to the genie Al-Zalam, genies were often trapped in lamps, which was bad for them and their skin.[1][1.1] They were also allergic to cats, which led to "strokes of the cat" becoming a punishment for lying genies.[1.2]

    History

    It was said that a genie called Al-Zalam inhabited the head of Sir Dan after the evil sorcerer Zarok trapped him in there.[1] Whether this is true is disputed.
