==Legends== The creation story of Filfla is linked to the legends surrounding the formation of [[Maqluba (Malta)|Il-Maqluba]]. Maltese legend recounts that the area that now forms Il-Maqluba was inhabited by people who lived such dissolute lives that a neighbour warned them against their sinful ways, without them taking notice. God therefore wished to punish the sinners by engulfing the hamlet, saving only the wise neighbour. Angels are then said to have thrown a fragment of the hamlet into the sea, creating the isle of Filfla.<ref name=geu>{{cite web |url=http://www.geulogy.com/malta/Il-Maqluba-malta-legends.html |title=Il-Maqluba, Qrendi, Malta, Legends, myths & folklore |website=Geulogy |access-date=9 June 2015 }}</ref><ref name=van>{{cite book |language=fr |title=La langue maltaise: études syntaxiques d'un dialecte arabe "périphérique"|last=Vanhove |first=Martine | editor1-last=Harrassowitz Verlag |editor1-first=Otto |date=1993 |access-date=9 June 2015 |pages=477–533|publisher=Otto Harrassowitz Verlag |isbn=9783447033428 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_HIZBgs7iQEC&q=Maqluba+qrendi&pg=PA476}}</ref>
