I believe in fairies. According to my religion, Allah has created jen and human.


Some of them are good and som of them are bad.

When I was a kid, like so many others of my generation, I was told about a scary creature that I can’t translate its name to English. But growing up I stopped believeing in that anymore. I guess children of this day don’t even know about it. The mythology died.


People of these days don’t believe in fairies, but there are some myths that people believe in, most are indicative of jinx.

I dont believe at all its just an  illogical stories there are many stories about fairies can not believe them without seeing or watching!



they make these stories to scare the people and keep them away from their reality life



i remembered when i was a child i was very scary from the fairies


sometimes i can not go outside home from them (:



bcs my sister was always talked with us about the fairies stories and i was imagine that kind of fairies ,, how are they and how they can like this



its really was very scare for me when  i was a child


actually we should not tell to our childern these illogical stories even avoid them from scary things



bcs they will be scared at all his or her life


we should keep them believe their lives and dont believe any illogical stories
