Ghoul

A ghoul is a mythical creature that originates from pre-Islamic Arabian folklore.

It is often depicted as a shapeshifting demon that lives in desolate places, such as graveyards, deserts, or caves, and feeds on human flesh and blood.

Ghouls can take the form of the people or animals they have eaten, or disguise themselves as beautiful women to lure unsuspecting victims.

Ghouls are not mentioned in the Quran, but some Islamic scholars believe they are a type of jinn or devil that were banished from the heavens and burned by comets.

Ghouls have become a popular subject of horror fiction and media, often with different characteristics and abilities than the original folklore.

• The ghoul in Harry Potter, a harmless creature that lives in the attic of the Weasley family.

• The ghoul in Tokyo Ghoul, a human-like being that can only survive by eating human flesh and has a special organ called a kagune that can be used as a weapon.

• The ghoul in Fallout, a human that has been mutated by radiation and has a decayed appearance and a long lifespan.

• The ghoul in The Nightmare Before Christmas, a character that sings in the song "This is Halloween".

A ghoul is a mythical creature based on Persian and Arabic folklore.
According to the Arabic legends, a ghoul can be described as a human-like demon or monster in a dead body.
A ghoul is known to dwell in cemeteries and graves where it would dig up the buried corpses and eat them.

Ghouls are not mentioned in the Quran, but in some hadiths, they are considered as a type of jinn or devil that rebelled against Allah.
They are also said to have the ability to shapeshift into animals or humans, especially hyenas or attractive women.
They use this power to lure unsuspecting travelers into the desert or abandoned places, where they kill and devour them.

In Western culture, the concept of ghouls was introduced by Antoine Galland, who translated One Thousand and One Nights into French.
He depicted ghouls as grave-robbing creatures that feasted on corpses.
This image of ghouls has persisted in modern fiction, where they are often portrayed as undead or infected beings that hunger for human flesh.

Some scientists have speculated that ghouls could exist in real life, based on the effects of radiation poisoning or genetic mutations.
However, there is no evidence to support this claim, and ghouls remain a product of imagination and horror.
