Only three terms in the Qur'an are related to jinn; ghoul, marid and 'ifrit. 'Ifrit refers to a specific reference in the Qur'an were King Solomon asked for the Queen of Sheba's throne to be brought to him. An 'ifrit spoke up and said it could fulfill the task. The term marid is also mentioned once; however, both the terms 'ifrit and marid can also be used as adjectives rather than referring to specific jinn. Both terms are found in medieval literature.

'Ifrits are generally more fiery in nature (both physically and in personality) and are enormous and winged creatures. They live in remote places over land. They can marry humans but prefer to mate with their own kind. They are impervious to all weapons save magic.

Marids are typically found near or on oceans and seas. They are more powerful than 'ifrits and they tend to be arrogant and proud. Battle, magic, or flattery can be used to compel their action.

Ghouls have crossed over into western mythos. The natural appearance of the ghoul can be repulsive, so ghouls change their appearance, often adopting the guise of a hyena. Ghouls typically live in desert wastes and prey on young children, eating their flesh, drinking their blood, and stealing their money.
