Description
I started reading Magi last month or the month before [due to my friend... XD], and I love the series!~
And the yesterday I was like...why not combine the two Aladdins together!?~
-though i've wanted to before just wasn't in a drawing mood at the time- [Aladdin is like my favorite Disney movie soo.... XD] And then I came up with this thinking it'd be a cute idea XD--

Aww thank you so much!~ <3
I thought so too! Which is why I drew it! I'm surprised even now years after I drew this that.... there really aren't too many people crossovering the series! (as far as my deviantart search makes it seem anyhow)
If you ever do lemme know!~ xD

Rex8483 : The majority of what you referenced is stuff from the Alma-Torran background, not stuff relevant to Aladdin's era. Belial is relevant to Aladdin's era, but not him directly. When I responded to your previous point I was thinking only of stuff relevant to Aladdin. Let me backtrack a bit though.
Magi's primary source is One Thousand and One Nights, a compilation of folktales from West and Southeast Asia, not all of them Islamic. This volume was first recorded published under that title in the 12th century, but it's most known for Antoine Galland's translation that was introduced into Europe in the 1700s using the title Arabian Nights. Aladdin was not a tale originally in the One Thousand and One Nights (nor was Alibaba and the Forty Thieves), both were added by Monsieur Galland. So that means that Magi: Labyrinth of Magic is based on Arabian Nights specifically.
But, in the original tale of Aladdin, he's a 12-ish year old boy from China and dresses appropriately. Also the Djinn was more traditional in appearance, and this is important in a moment. The design of Aladdin being Arabian-based, with location appropriate pants, no shirt, and a vest, were all aspects introduced by the Disney film, not Arabian Nights. Also introduced was the concept of genies being blue (I'd argue that before then the most prevalent pop culture view of djinn was from DnD where they're varied in appearance and colour, but red would probably be the most memorable colour). That the Aladdin of Magi has an outfit reminiscent of Disney's Aladdin seems a bit too convenient to be coincidence. Also all the djinn are blue. There are other colour choices in both existing pop culture and in Islamic myth, but blue specifically was chosen. You can't really doubt the influence of the Disney film, because it's obviously there.
Are there other sources? Of course. Mostly Arabian Nights, but Islamic mythology is drawn on as well. But you can't deny that there's Disney Aladdin influence in regards to the Aladdin character specifically (and Alibaba in some regards) and the djinn; being the two aspects that are most known in pop culture by their Disney appearances.
As for your oddly added insult (most people usually edit their comments to REMOVE insults, surprised someone did the reverse); I don't really see how my beliefs or stance on religion is relevant to my ability to read or enjoy folktales.

Nawwh yay glad I could be of service to your need! ahahah xD I bet there's more of these out there since I drew this though. xD (since I'm replying to a comment you wrote in 2014 xD)

Aww I'm glad it hasn't butchered itself as the time went by. xD (since that seems to happen a lot. xD)

Also I can say without doubt that Magi-Aladdin is based on Disney-Aladdin. Why? Because Aladdin is Chinese in the original story. It was Disney who made him Arabian.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
But didn't the story take place in an Arabian sort of area?
I THOUGHT I remember someone saying that somewhere before, but I didn't go fact checking. xD
But if that were true, it would at least make sense that everyone else besides Aladdin was Arabic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
But it using Islamic and Arabian mythology.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not really. The only thing Arabian it uses are names.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It does. Ill Ilah is based on the myth Islamic God as well as 72 Divine Staves based on 72 demons of Goetic. Even one of them have the name Belial in 68th Dungeon referring to 68th spirit in the Goetia. Even the Djinn is based on Islamic mythology and view of Solomon. You my friend need to read the myth and reread the manga to understand the functions it references to. Unless you are a atheist and don't give fuck about folktales.

Mmm imagine Magi Aladdin meeting Genie. That would be... awesome. Disney's Aladdin can only barely keep up with him, don't know if anyone from Magi could manage the same, especially when Magi Aladdin's experience with genies is uber serious, calm ones.

Yeah that could be pretty cool to see! xD
I went through a period of time where I stopped reading manga completely so I don't know much about or how to comment on the rest of what you said (when I snapped out of it, I lost my place in the series, and got discouraged since I hate trying to figure out where I leave off in series if I didn't write it down xD), but I'll take your word for it, since if that's the case that'd be a pretty funny meeting.~ xD
