name of the Divine ,in rejecting magic and fighting against the demons ,but the

unattainable, has been inspired by Islamic thoughts and caused by the influence
of culture and Islamic beliefs ,and popular beliefs have influenced the narrators.

man by magicians has a historical record in the national epics of Iran .In the
