Arabian mythology

Arabian mythology encompasses the rich tapestry of stories, deities, and folklore from the Arabian Peninsula and surrounding regions. It includes figures like jinn, supernatural beings with varying moral alignments, and pre-Islamic deities worshiped by tribes, such as Hubal and Al-Lat. Tales from this mythology often explain natural phenomena or cultural practices and reflect themes of heroism, morality, and the struggle between good and evil. The oral tradition played a crucial role in preserving these narratives, influencing later Islamic culture and literature, including notable works like "One Thousand and One Nights."
