I don’t recall details, but in one story we have our protagonist, his friends, and a Jinn. The Jinn tells our protagonist that he and all his friends are doomed to a terrible fate. The Jinn offers 3 wishes with the rule that one of the protagonist’s wishes cannot be to save himself from his terrible fate. Our protagonist’s first wish is to save himself from his terrible fate. The Jinn says he has wasted his first wish. The second wish is to save his friends, the Jinn can grant this. The third wish is to save himself from his terrible fate. At first the Jinn is confused, but the protagonist explains that the Jinn said “one” of his wishes can’t be to save himself, and this was two wishes to save himself. Because the Jinn is bound to his word he has no choice but to release our protagonist on this technicality.
When the jinn offered to let the fisherman choose how he would die, at first I thought the fisherman would reply something like what Tyrion Lannister did when the hill tribesmen caught him.
Heard this one while playingMetro Exodus: A man is lost in the deep desert. He finds a bottle with a djinn in it. “Please, I want to go home!” The djinn smiles and takes his hand. “Ok, friend, we will walk there together!” The man is exasperated. “No, no, I need to get there fast!” The genie laughs. “Ok then….we run!”
Considering that the word comes from Arabic (a language that doesn't use the Latin alphabet), it's a matter of who is transcribing the word and what system they are using.
I heard a different tale, where the fisherman and Gin kept on deceiving each other using different stories to get out of Death(the fisherman) and to get out of the jar( lathe Gin). I believe this happened 3 times before the gin actually took him to the lake. Even then there was more to the story.
Yes, the story of the fishes is so much more interesting in my opinion and the fisherman doesn't become the cook (or not immediately) because the cook is the first that notices another djinn coming to burn the fish every time he tries to cook them with curses, and then the cook also notices ancient writing on the bones of the fish.
As in Islam, the idea of spiritual entities converting to one's own religion can be found in Buddhism. According to lore Buddha preached to Devas and Asura, spiritual entities who, like humans, are subject to the cycle of life, and resemble the Islamic notion of Jinn, who are also ontological placed among humans in regard to eschatological destiny.
Not to mention, how every culture has some sort of their own Djinns despite no direct/indirect contact with each other. Japanese, Polynesian, South American, Norse, etc All has some sort of Djinn revolved among their story
@@Pfyzer Fae? Yeah. Demon? Maybe. Being that tricks you? Probably. Hallucination? That would explain why you leave with nothing but a story instead of the wealth that was promised.
That is very interesting. I went down the rabbit hole and found that devas and asuras in Buddhism are named the same in Zoroastrianism but instead of devas being good and asuras evil, in Zoroastrianism it’s the opposite. Devas are evil and asuras are good. Many other aspects are very similar to jinn as well.
@@jackcrassus168 but also, the animated version veered in and of itself from the original tale in 1001 Nights, to the detriment of the understanding of Jinn anyone had in the west.
I loved "Thief of Baghdad" as a kid. As a grown-up, i appreciate the script's beautiful homage to Middle Eastern poetry and storytelling, but the brownface is such a detractor. I loved Sabu's Jungle Book as well, he was so charming and genuine in his performances
One of my favourite details about the djinn s that they're morally equivalent to humans in every way. Any given individual could be benefolent or malignant, trustworthy or deceptive, faithless or a devoted member of the faith. And jusf like a human, they could and would change. And so, the roles they fill in stories can be just as varied as our own, in ways not as often seen in folklore.
Correction on the islamic part: They are more adjacent to angels than humans as they do infact have supernatural abilities like moving at lightspeed without breaking a sweat and all kinds of other shenanigans. They also exist in the same realm as angles which in islamic terms means they live in a higher dimension kinda like hopping from the third to the fourth dimension from our perspective. The only comprehensible differences between Angles and Jinn are that they have a different composition than angles and they possess free will like us while angles physically can't disobey the will of god nor do they have it in them. So yea Jinn aren't necessarily evil nor are they necessarily good and they aren't some kind of tricksters. They're just like us in that regard. So basically they're us but extradimensional and with superpowers. They're not even more intelligent than us and they lack any and all creativity. Matter of fact the whole conflict between Satan and God happened because when God created Adam, he ordered all of existence to kneel before Adam suggesting he's the new king in town or something and Satan (The leader of angles back then) got pissed because he felt like humans are beneath him since they can't do 10% of whatever his powers grant him. Also he took one look at Adam and Eve and told god these guys are undisciplined, suggestive and easy to manipulate and therefor trash. Hence the stunt with the forbidden fruit 😂
I learnt of Djinns from the Arabian nights. But it has many many more stories would love some videos dedicated to that. Oh and at 7:00 at first the Sultan was willing to pay a huge amount for the fish but his wife disapproved and came up with an idea to not pay the fisherman, The sultan asked him what is the gender of the fish? (If he mentioned either gender the Sultan could refuse him stating some reason for not being able to eat it) The fisherman after thinking a lot replied that the fish was a eunuch. The Sultan now even more impressed paid him even more.
@@marcobuncit7539 my memory is a bit hazy But well like I said he used to pay handsomely, and his wife didn't like her husband spending the royal treasury in(what she thought were) trivial things. But the Sultan had already accepted the fish by then and needed a reason to not to take them and so. After that a coin slipped from the fishermans pouch and he scrambled for it like crazy, the Sultan then got angry saying after all I gave you you're still scrambling for a single coin? The fisherman replied that to him this wasn't just a coin but a precious token of the Sultan's generosity he couldn't afford to lose even one bit of it. The Sultan and doubly impressed.
in Islam king Solomon (Solomon) is not just a human king. but with the permission of the power of Allah he can also talk to animals, command jinn, ride winds, and have unlimited wealth (the richest person in the world).
In islam there is no authentic Hadith or any verse in the Qur'an that says Solomon(also called Sulaiman) had a ring that gave him power@@MosukaDreamer
I need to make a correction: 1001 nights is NOT originally Arabian . the original book had been written in middle Persian and later it has been translated to Arabic. Somewhere on the course of history we lost the original book and the Arabic translation remained.
That book was known as Hezar Afsaneh in Middle Persian, meaning 1000 Tales. It was compiled during the reign of Shahanshah Khosrow Anushirvan of the Sasanian Persian Empire around 540 AD.
The Wishmaster series of movies has an "interesting" take on Djinns. The Djinn will fulfill one wish to each person he meets but in the most cruel way possible. One of my favourites is a guard trying to stop him and yelling "You have to go through me to get out of here." He got his wish.
You made me laugh (and cry a bit) when your graphic for sad food was frozen, dinosaur-shaped, chicken nuggets. I'm a grown man with no children ...I have those in my freezer right now.
According to the version I read it was Solomon's Legend seal that was on the jar. Also that story's a bit longer with more dealing with the Kings Adventures afterwards
I've read this story and it's a little different from how he's telling it. Those fish spoke when they were being fried. They were like magic fish. It gets confusing from there.
The three key takeaways from this story is 1st. humans are the most intellectual beings even if the Djinns have extra ordinary powers they are still not intelligent as compared to humans. In the words of Quran and Muslim scholars humans are Ashraf -ul- Makhlooq meaning the most intelligent beings as compared to other creatures. 2nd is that the Djinns have their limitations and cannot create wealth or matter out of thin air but can provide the info to earn it. 3rd they are not as friendly as told by some storytellers.
Does my heart good to know Mr. Fyfe is still at it. And if it weren't for the fact that this is a mythology series, this would've made for an excellent episode of Something True!
I think genies in fiction are a psychological response to things like idols and masks that are inanimate objects that feel like they have a spirit in them
The movie: three thousand years of longing where this story is told but the director has taken his creative liberty. However the movies is amazing with idris elba cast as the Djinn
Oh…first time I heard this happy end. Normally I’ve heard the fisherman throwing the bottle back. Enraging the Jin to vow to destroy all of humanity … next time … without ever entering bottles or other things.
In my homeland like Indonesia, we believe that a mountain and forest is inhabited by djinn long before presence of human. There's a local story about a villager goes to the mountain for hunting. One day he encoutered Djinn, saying "There's a 3 bodies lying nearby, find them", then the Djinn dissapeared. Confused, the villager told the influencial person in his village, and the next day some villager goes into the mountain to find the bodies. And indeed they found only 2 bodies (All of their identities were unknown, and only skeleton remains, suggesting they died long time ago), the other body was not found. Regardless, they burying the death in Islamic way as all of the villager is muslim. The Djinn himself might wanted to gave the poor death humans a final respect, but he cannot since just making himself visible in human world is very exshausting, let alone burying the death. So the best thing he could done was asking human for it.
There's also a Myth of the creation of Prambanan temple known as Roro Jonggrang temple, where her son gets an Army of djinn to help build The Temple in One night to marry her(due to her having long beauty magic and her son going out his home town for so long)
You guys do realize that 1 Gold dinar was equal to 12 silver dirhams during the Abbasid Era, right? Imagine selling that jar for 144 dirhams or 12 dinars, which was probably what a lowly fisherman like our dude would make in an entire year, if not more. حلقة سندباد كانت أحلى، أو ليس كذلك يا معشر العرب؟ 😏 ههههه
it is clear that "whoever does a kindness is repaid well", perhaps the genius before leaving with the wind will have said "I will greet you, before your death", and not to judge the "container" by the "label"
I love how in this version, the Jinn didn't just... generate wealth out of thin air, but led the protagonist to something valuable and pointed him to a wealthy buyer. He didn't give the man a fish, he taught him how to fish. Literally
Huh, everyone trying to exploit "chose your death" as way to immortality. I think I'd just go for something more mundane, like "death by snu-snu at the age of 101".
“Oh, so I can choose my death? Ok, I want to die only after 100 years, in a sudden heart attack”. “What?!” “Well, you said I’ve could choose my own death, right?”
5:20 jinn arent immortal they just live really really long on average 600-800 years but some live at 1500 or 2000 years. They are also not omnipotent but some of them like the ifreet are very powerful their powers vary depending on the jinn.
Same as humans. If they do good they go to jannah and if they do bad they go to hell. The Quran was made for both humans and jinn and unless a specific part is specified to be only for jinn or only for humans its the same for both.
In Qur'an as far as I know there where only three races that where mentioned jin was one of them. angels : immortal / no free will. Jin : immortal / free will. Humans : mortal / free will.
Djinn being arrogant is their weakness. In Islam Satan/Lucifer plays the role of djinn rather than angel as angels do not have free will. God asked satan and the angels to bow before Adam, but Satan refused stating he is djinn made of fire whereas Adam is of humble clay. Therefore the djinn play the role of fallen angels or demons in an islamic context
In the version of 1001 Nights that I read when I was younger, a jinni shows up in the framestory to be cuckolded by his human lover/wife(?). This becoming one of the examples of unfaithful women that led to the king's distrust of women and decision to execute each of his wives after the wedding night. (Eventhough the king and his brother had themselves slept with the unfaithful woman while the jinni was away.) (Previously the king had first discovered his own wife to be unfaithful, and then visiting his brother to handle the grief, he witnessed his sister-in-law being unfaithful to his brother.) Were it not for the cleverness of Scheherazade, and her ability to remember so many stories within stories that you just had to know the ending of, the kingdom would have completely run out of women and created a demographic crisis like no other.
In the Qur'an only king Solomon interacted with jin, apart form him jin doesn't really have an effect on the human world islamicly speaking but over the time people start making up stuff and stories, some of them good some bad , the cringes ones are people who pretended to marry a jin wife, they remind me of people in the modren day who pretended to marry Fictional cartoon characters
For the Record, 1001 nights was a collection of Indian and Persian folk tales that were then collected, Arabized, then later translated into European languages by Orientalists. None of them were truly Arab stories. Also, in Islamic Theology, Jinn are the only other creation of God (besides Man) with the ability to Choose Right from wrong and thus able to commit sins. All other creatures are instinctively obedient to God and can't commit acts of sin. They Do not "Possess" people in the sense that they control them physically so much as they induce an altered state in the mind akin to a madness. Satan himself is actually a Jinn and NOT a "fallen angel" as is believed in Christianity. He also doesn't rule hell or make deals for souls. His only power over people is through enticement and whispering in one's mind to commit acts of sin.

Correction on the islamic part:
They are more adjacent to angels than humans as they do infact have supernatural abilities like moving at lightspeed without breaking a sweat and all kinds of other shenanigans.

The only comprehensible differences between Angles and Jinn are that they have a different composition than angles and they possess free will like us while angles physically can't disobey the will of god nor do they have it in them.

5:20 jinn arent immortal they just live really really long on average 600-800 years but some live at 1500 or 2000 years. They are also not omnipotent but some of them like the ifreet are very powerful their powers vary depending on the jinn.
Where do they go when they die? Jannah?
Same as humans. If they do good they go to jannah and if they do bad they go to hell. The Quran was made for both humans and jinn and unless a specific part is specified to be only for jinn or only for humans its the same for both.
Any chance a genie could take the form of a 1960s housewife? Probably only in my dreams...
He meant the show "I dream of Jeanie".
Well you will lose your sanity or maybe soul in the prosess but who we are to judge :-)
youtube algorithm going crazy not suggesting this to anyone :/
If I was legit given three wishes my first worry is that I have seen, read or listened to too many stories where the wishes happen in a bad way.
Plebeians : Oh look, a genie, let's make a wish!
Chads : *A'uzubillah Minashaitan Nirajeem!*
What happend here. This never showed up in my feed. I only was directed to thisclip throug a short.
Same here!
In Qur'an as far as I know there where only three races that where mentioned jin was one of them.
angels : immortal / no free will.
Jin : immortal / free will.
Humans : mortal / free will.
jinn actually aren't immortal they just have a much longer life span
As far as I remembered, Djinn is mortal. They could die at some point of their life.
This is a revolutionary story bringing younger generations near the Jinni stories! 😎
Thank you for the video.
Rip robin williams 😢. Cant wait for Basim and AC Mirage!!! also uncharted 3
Glad I’m not the only one to see that this video Disney show up in their feed. I thought I was crazy for a second.
4:33 And THIS, folks, is where we get the 3 wishes trope from!
I just watched an anime about this called magi:adventure of Sinbad
Alternate solution: "I choose to die years from now surrounded by a vast fortune that I earn in the next few days" =D
Can you do more of 1001 nights stories
Why does this video not show up in notifications or in the channel's list of videos?
This is the jinni in the bottle story I grew up reading ☺️
Jinn - plural
Jinni - singular
And an absolute beast in my 2003 summoned skull beat down deck
FOUR fish a day. Dang. That sure does sound like wealth.
Djinn being arrogant is their weakness. In Islam Satan/Lucifer plays the role of djinn rather than angel as angels do not have free will.
God asked satan and the angels to bow before Adam, but Satan refused stating he is djinn made of fire whereas Adam is of humble clay.
Therefore the djinn play the role of fallen angels or demons in an islamic context
Why did this not show on my feed
In the version of 1001 Nights that I read when I was younger, a jinni shows up in the framestory to be cuckolded by his human lover/wife(?). This becoming one of the examples of unfaithful women that led to the king's distrust of women and decision to execute each of his wives after the wedding night. (Eventhough the king and his brother had themselves slept with the unfaithful woman while the jinni was away.) (Previously the king had first discovered his own wife to be unfaithful, and then visiting his brother to handle the grief, he witnessed his sister-in-law being unfaithful to his brother.) Were it not for the cleverness of Scheherazade, and her ability to remember so many stories within stories that you just had to know the ending of, the kingdom would have completely run out of women and created a demographic crisis like no other.
I would pay 10,000$ to meet you irl and hear a random story
Thanks guys
There's another (much longer) version of this story where the fish the jinn helped the fisherman catch turned out to be enchanted people
This is why you should always be specific with your wishes
The day I finally make my Arabic calligraphy look good y’all post this! :D
In the Qur'an only king Solomon interacted with jin, apart form him jin doesn't really have an effect on the human world islamicly speaking
but over the time people start making up stuff and stories, some of them good some bad , the cringes ones are people who pretended to marry a jin wife, they remind me of people in the modren day who pretended to marry Fictional cartoon characters
Shadow banned genie mythology? Sign me up
great video
Suleman is a prophet in islam
and on of hus power is to control the jinn
but the jinn have there on city and civilization
Always remember kids: be specific with what you wish for
Algorithm hijinks? 209 views after a day?!
(Didn’t show up in my feed either)
I'm half Jinn on my mothers side.
At least you are aware lol
Which tale of the Arabian Nights is this from?
Goddamn it, why did I expect that slide into the Factor sponsorship almost word for word in my head?
this is wholesome..
Can you do a series about the second opium war or boxer rebellion
is this a repost or something I saw your short and click the link and watch this three days ago
For the Record, 1001 nights was a collection of Indian and Persian folk tales that were then collected, Arabized, then later translated into European languages by Orientalists. None of them were truly Arab stories.
Also, in Islamic Theology, Jinn are the only other creation of God (besides Man) with the ability to Choose Right from wrong and thus able to commit sins. All other creatures are instinctively obedient to God and can't commit acts of sin. They Do not "Possess" people in the sense that they control them physically so much as they induce an altered state in the mind akin to a madness. Satan himself is actually a Jinn and NOT a "fallen angel" as is believed in Christianity. He also doesn't rule hell or make deals for souls. His only power over people is through enticement and whispering in one's mind to commit acts of sin.
Wonderful
what a tale!
PANR has tuned in.
thanks
totally expected the fisherman to be killed the second time around
It's a shame you skipped over how the fisherman pissed himself after seeing the Djinn for the first time.
Why is this video not listed?
Actually they're not made of air and the fire we have but instead of a fire that's flameless.
Which allows them to escape the earth easily.
