in the amazigh language( north african) , there isnt the word "jhin" and there is not a "chaitan" and there is no equivalent word in the amazigh language to that, even if the amazigh language is one of the oldest in the world

When an amazigh want to refer to "demons" in muslim way, he uses arabic word, there isnt that concept in the amazigh language the concept of "satan the bad guy" or just "satan" there is no word for it, but there are Gods, like "Anzar" , to say rain in amazigh language you say "Anzar" , and in same time Anzar is an amazigh God, same for Akuch he is a God, ( Morocco = amur n akuch ( land of akuch in amazigh language))

So the language doesnt have that words for that program, i asked many who talk amazigh language perfectly i asked them to translate satan and jhin and demon and every "bad guy in islam" , there is no translation, they dont exist in amazigh language, same in moroccan darija, which is a mix of amazigh language and other languages, in darija talking about the Gods in ToZ terms , the word for it is "mlouk" ( translation to english is : kings) , and "jwad" ( doesnt have a translation it probably come from the word الجود which means generosity)
Or "chrfa" ( translates to : the Holy ones)

If we remove arab language from north africa , all the concepts of bad guys will be removed , since there isnt even a word for it, islam and arabs are the ones who brang this to north africa

There isnt even a word equivalent to "God" in amazigh language and moroccan darija, we use allah, since there is no other word, there are only the words meaning specific Gods like anzar for example
