The Return of Jafar Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. The movie opens with Abis Mal and his minions in their hideout, with Abis Mal keeping all the gold and treasures for himself, much to the anger of his gang. Aladdin ultimately intervened, making a fool out of Abis Mal and taking all the treasure (with the intent to return it to those who need the money).Later, Abis crosses paths with Aladdin on the Agrabah streets, and orders his minions to attack. Abis winds up in another embarrassing defeat when Iago gets in the fray. That evening, while Abis was drawing water from a well, his gang decided to do away with their double-crossing boss. Just before they arrive, though, Abis pulls up a black lamp (or, rather, Jafar's lamp) and begins to shine it up, hoping to get some cash off it. Naturally, in doing so, Abis Mal releases Jafar, and scares off Abis' would-be murderers in the process. Image File history File links Abis_maal. ...

Knowing that he could not directly kill Aladdin (as a genie), Jafar saw a chance for revenge through Abis's partnership. Of course, he was still required to grant Abis's three wishes. Abis's first wish was to have "The Legendary Sunken Treasure Ship of Gordumare" and Jafar granted it... by teleporting himself and Abis to the ship itself. Abis then had to forfeit his second wish to return to the desert. Now down to one wish and threatened by Jafar to work with him if he wanted it, Abis became Jafar's unfortunate patsy. Teamed with Jafar, Abis Mal succeeds in capturing all of Aladdin's friends, with the ultimate finish being that Aladdin would be executed for the murder of the Sultan (although the real Sultan was still alive and captured). With his goals complete, Jafar tried to convince Abis Mal to use his last wish to free Jafar by summoning vast amounts of treasure and saying it's all his if he does so, essentially granting all of Abis' wishes without wasting the wish itself. Abis, however, isn't convinced that Jafar's claim is true and hesitates from wishing.Jafar then uses his magic to send Abis Mal tied up above a vat with a large snake in it. Abis Mal tries to talk his way out of it but Jafar uses magic to put tape over Abis Mal's maouth. With the snake getting closer to Abis Mal, Abis Mal pleads for his life but all he can say is "MMMMMMMM". Aladdin quickly moves in to capture Jafar's lamp in Abis's moment of hesitation and quickly incures Jafar's wrath. During the fight, Abis Mal winds up tangled in a tree, where he stays for the rest of the film. In the very end after thye credits Abis Mal is still tangled in the tree tied up and then his crew comes and puts a note on Abis Mal that say "Take me to jail!" Since Abis Mal's mouth is taped he could'nt say his crew put it on him.
Aladdin TV Series Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. Abis Mal is a recurring villain on the Aladdin television series. Usually accompanied by his much-smarter sidekick Haroud, Abis Mal plans usually revolve around his goal of becoming rich and powerful. Thankfully, his incompetence, combined with Aladdin's meddling, usually results in a series of embarrassing defeats for Abis. Some of his more notable plans include using magical Mood-Stones (which impress upon a victim a specific emotion on touch, depending on the stone's nature) to disable Aladdin and company, slipping petrifying Rock Ifrit venom into the Sultan's bath oils and blackmailing him for the antidote (though the only one who used them was Iago), attempting to create a super-strength potion from the yolk of a Griffin's unhatched egg, and using a mystic hourglass to go back in time and turn Agrabah into his own kingdom from the day of its very foundation. The lattermost episode reveals that Abis Mal also had an ancestor named Abnor Mal (pun on abnormal). Ifrit, also spelled efreet, also ifreet, afrit, afreet (Arabic: AfrÄ«t: Ø¹ÙØ±Ùت, pl AfÄrÄ«t: Ø¹ÙØ§Ø±Ùت), are a kind of Jinn mentioned in the Quran. ...
