ANGELS.
83
angels respecting the decrees of God, which they sometimes impart to men by means of talismans and invocations.
The good genii are Muslims, and perform all the religious duties of the faithful.
King Solomon is said to have had great power over the genii by means of his magic ring.[1]
Students of Islám must bear in mind that most of the absurd stories of the genii are related in the Qurán, and have, therefore, received from Muhammad all the authority of a divine revelation.
- ↑ The second Targum on Esther i.—ii., mentions the four classes of Genii which were given into the power of King Solomon.
