Genie, Make a Wish – A Drama with a Misleading Story
The K-drama Genie, Make a Wish takes ideas from the Islamic story of Adam (ʿAlaihis-Salam) and Iblīs (Shayṭān), but sadly it mixes things up and shows them in a wrong way.
In Islam, Allah created Adam from clay and told the angels to bow. All obeyed except Iblīs, who was a jinn, not an angel. He was made from fire, and out of pride he refused, saying, “I am better than him.” Because of this, he became Shayṭān and asked Allah for time and power to mislead humans until the Day of Judgment.
Angels and jinn are very different in Islam:
Angels are created from light and never disobey Allah.
Jinn are created from smokeless fire and have free will, like humans.
The drama wrongly mixes angels and jinn together, creating confusion and misleading viewers. If you want the real story, it’s clearly explained in the Qur’an (Surah 7, 15, 18, 38).
