THE MAGIC OF MUSLIMS
From time immemorial, Muslims were considered strange worshipers of spirits who, in their opinion, helped them successfully wage wars with Christians.
Fallen angels - Harut and Marut - taught people magic and witchcraft, and the Greek fall of Iblis (identified with Shaitan) is associated with the Greek fall of man.

In the demonology of Islam, there are numerous jins (also shaitans). According to the teachings of the Koran, the jinn were created earlier than people from the "sultry fire". There are versions in which the genies are descended from the chief Shaitan. They come in both male and female genders, and are usually ugly with hooves. Jinn are capable of taking on human form. Their main vocation is to cause as much harm to people as possible, to do evil.
Islam recognizes the possibility of people entering into an intimate relationship with jinn.
According to the Muslim legend, each person has his own "shaitan", who has chosen a place in his body between skin and flesh. In contrast to the "shaitan", man is also given "his own angel", which awakens him to do good. Not a single deed of a person remains unnoticed. They are recorded for the future Last Judgment by two invisible angels sitting on the shoulders of a person, one marks the good, the other the evil.
THE LEGEND OF SALAD AND RICHARD
During the third crusade in 1189-1190, led by the famous English knight and king Richard the Lionheart, the great leader of the Muslims, the Egyptian sultan Salah ad-Din (in Europe he was called Saladin), who fought against the crusaders, suffered one defeat for others.
Not wanting to join the crusaders, Saladin decided to resort to cunning. He sent Richard a dashing horse as a gift and challenged him to a fair duel, which was to take place in front of both troops, in order to prove in one-on-one battle the legitimacy of Christians' claims to Palestine.
And at the same time it was proposed to solve the long-standing theological dispute - which of the two gods, Christian Jesus or Saracen Jupiter, is more powerful.
King Richard accepted the challenge. Then, at the instigation of the Sultan, the Arab sorcerer drove two devils into horses: one into a stallion presented to the English king, and the other into his mother, a mare. At the signal of the sorcerer during the fight, she was supposed to laugh, and the stallion on which Richard was sitting was supposed to fall on his front legs and move his head, as if looking for mother's breasts. Then the Sultan will deal a mortal blow to Richard.
However, in a dream, the guardian angel warned the English monk, and he, commanding him to seal his horse's ears with wax, bravely galloped to the mighty enemy with a spear at the ready.
At the signal of the sorcerer, the mare with the demon inside, at the signal of the sorcerer, neighed so that everything around her wandered. At the same time, the stallion did not turn his ear, because he did not hear anything. As a result, Saladin, along with his army, retreat.
