Definition: Loiras are a term used in Islamic literature to describe a character who appears on stage, typically male, wearing a headscarf or veil, often to disguise his or her true identity or to symbolize a mystical or supernatural aspect of life. They were often portrayed as devils or sorcerers, and their behavior was frequently condemned by the Muslim community. In Islamic philosophy, loiras are considered to be part of the divine presence and can even appear in the form of a living entity at times, depending on the circumstances and context.
