Introduction To Ghouls
Ghoul (Arabic: غول, ghūl) is a demon-like being or monsterous
humanoid originating in pre-Islamic Arabian religion associated with
graveyards and consuming human flesh. In modern fiction, the term has
often been used for a certain kind of undead monster.
By extension, the word ghoul is also used in a derogatory sense to refer to a person who delights in the macabre, or whose profession is linked directly to death, such as a gravedigger or graverobber.
the ghul is said to dwell in cemeteries and other uninhabited places. A male ghoul is referred to as ghul while the female is called ghulah. A source identified the Arabic ghoul as a female creature who is sometimes called Mother Ghoul (ʾUmm Ghulah) or a relational term such as Aunt Ghoul.
She is portrayed in many tales luring hapless characters, who are usually men, into her home where she can eat them.
Some state that a ghoul is a desert-dwelling, shapeshifting demon that
can assume the guise of an animal, especially a hyena. It lures unwary
people into the desert wastes or abandoned places to slay and devour
them. The creature also preys on young children, drinks blood, steals
coins, and eats the dead, then taking the form of the person most
recently eaten. One of the narratives identified a ghoul named Ghul-e
Biyaban, a particularly monstrous character believed to be inhabiting
the wilderness of Afghanistan and Iran.
According to one report, the shayatin (devils) once had access to the heavens, where they eavesdropped and returned to Earth to pass hidden knowledge to the soothsayers. When Jesus was born, three heavenly spheres were forbidden to them. With the arrival of Muhammad the other four were forbidden. The Marid among the shayatin continued to rise to the heavens, but were burned by the comets. If the comets didn't burn them to death, they were deformed and driven to insanity, they then fell to the deserts and were doomed to roam the earth as Ghouls.
Others believed the ghoul to be a class of jinn, who could be converted to Islam, if someone recites the Verse of the Throne.
