In The Great Khan’s Tent Episode VIII: The Arabian Nights Part VII

In the Great Khan’s Tent

In this episode, we continue the story of “The First Royal Dervish” in the continuation of Night XI, Night XII, and part of Night XIII. We also hear part of the story of “The Second Royal Dervish” and encounter the Jinn once again. However, unlike previous episodes this time the Jinn is named, Jarjaris, and given a lineage which links him to Iblis, commonly known as Satan, providing evidence for the Islamic belief that Iblis was allowed to procreate. Jarjaris clearly is placed in the category of those Jinn who are unbelievers. Notice the themes that are present in both these stories and what social issues they are trying to convey, aside from the surface level interpretations.
