I did a little researching to find out more on Ifrit, come to find out.. Ifrit is in a Arabic religion. AWESOME!
this is Ifrit.
Heres something i found on him,
FFXI Final Fantasy XI Ifrit
Ifrit was the second most powerful class of Jinn (Djinn, Genie) in Arabic mythology. A Jinn has five classes: ranking first were the Marid, second the Afreet, third the Sheitan, fourth the Ghillan, and fifth the Jann, and could change into any animal they want. The Jinn’s were Demon-like beings who have fire running through their veins. When they are cut they bleed out fire until it consumes their whole body. Jinn’s could live for thousands of years, but they were in no ways immortal for they feared the falling stars that Allah threw at them
(nothing to do with final fantasy)
Ifrit in mythology
Ifrits in common mythology are jinn spirits that embody fire. They consider themselves superior to all races because they supposedly "came first," and they resent deeply that humans have found magical ways to take control over them. Even when tasked, they show an ironic and malicious attitude, tending to subvert their masters' orders every time they can.
They often appear as individuals of superhuman beauty and strength, but are very difficult to deal with.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ifrit is mentioned in the Qur'an, Sura An-Naml:39. (27:39)
A ‘Ifrît (strong one) from the jinn said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work."
It's a Qur'anic passage where King Solomon asks various creatures who can bring the throne of the Queen of Sheba to him fastest. The Ifrit was outperformed by prayer:
One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when he [Sulaimân (Solomon)] saw it placed before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord - to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for (the good of) his ownself; and whoever is ungrateful, (he is ungrateful only for the loss of his ownself). Certainly my Lord is Rich (Free of all needs), Bountiful. Sura An-Naml:40. (27:40)

Ifrit, also spelled efreet, also ifreet, afrit (Arabic: ʻAfrīt: عفريت, pl ʻAfārīt: عفاريت), are a kind of Jinn from Arabic mythology.
Ifrit in Square-Enix projects
In some RPG by Square Enix, a Japanese video game producer, Ifrit is a demon of fire (human or beast-like), often summoned by a summoner (or "caller") to aid the characters in battle. His attacks include 'Meteor Strike' & 'Hell Fire'
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IV

Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII (As a boss)
Final Fantasy IX

The Hymn of Fayth
Hymn of the Fayth
The Hymn of the Fayth sample? is a song composed by Japanese composer Nobuo Uematsu for the Final Fantasy X game on the PlayStation 2. In the game, the Hymn serves as a transitional song and an indicator of religious importance or solemnity, though its lyrics don't appear to have any meaning to the game's characters.
In the real world, the lyrics of the song require some deciphering. They are:
Ieyui Nobomeno Renmiri Yojuyogo Hasatekanae Kutamae
Also, in some versions of the song, such as the one sung for Ifrit, "Renmiri" is sung "Lenmili". The words are comprised of Japanese syllables/symbols, but are arranged in such a way that is not Japanese. However, the composer left a puzzle. To begin translating, first arrange the first four words in four columns, going by syllable from the top down. Note that in Japanese, N is its own syllable when followed by a consonant.
I NO RE YO
E BO N JU
YU ME MI YO
I NO RI GO
Then, take the six syllables of the fifth word and arrange them similarly, in a rectangle of two rows and three columns, starting with the first syllable in the top left square and going down and to the right.
HA TE NA
SA KA E
Finally, but the last word in an "L" shape, show below.
KU
TA MA E
Then, you put it all together.
I NO RE YO
E BO N JU
YU ME MI YO
I NO RI GO
HA TE NA KU
SA KA E TA MA E
Now read across, and you get
Inore yo, Ebon-ju Pray, Yu-Yevon
Yume mi yo, inorigo Dream, Child of Prayer
Hatenaku Forever and ever
Sakaetamae Bring us glory
There is an additional puzzle in the song, which glorifies Yevon. In a flashback sequence triggered by speaking to Auron while under Macalania Lake, both Tidus and Jecht are revealed to have known the song in Zanarkand. This is odd as Tidus had no idea who Yevon was when he first arrived in Spira.
In Final Fantasy X, in the scene where Yuna does her first summoning and the Hymn plays, it's twice as long as the version for each of the versions for the Aeons (Summons) "Renmiri" is used in one line "Lenmili" in another:
Ieyui Nobomeno Renmiri Yojuyogo
Ieyui Nobomeno Lenmili Yojuyogo
