Take a Look

The demons

Updated: Feb 15

the name

A non-Arab noun that is forbidden from being morphed into Arabic or non-Arabic

Ibn Hajar said

If it had been an Arabic name derived from Iblās, it would have been named after his despair of God’s mercy by expelling and cursing him.

The definition of Satan in language

A group of linguists have stated that shaytan is an original noun, based on the form of fayal, derived from shattan: meaning after, so it is far from the nature of humans, by nature, through his immorality, he was far from all goodness, and he was demonized. He became like the devil and did his deeds,” Umayyah said

Ibn al-Atheer mentioned

If the nūn of Satan is made original, it is from Shattan, which is: keeping away from goodness, or a long rope, It is as if he had been in evil for a long time. And if I made an extra portion, it would be one who was overexcited. If he died, or one who was very angry, if his anger became intense and inflamed. He said: The first is more correct.


As for Satan, he is aware of a creature that God Almighty created from fire, and placed him among the angels, and he carried out his work as long as God wished for him to do, then he disputed with his Lord over pride and greatness, so he was too arrogant to obey Him, He disobeyed his Lord, so He expelled him from His mercy and from his job, He descended to earth, and demonization became his characteristic

The main purpose of their presence on Earth?

Before the temptation of the children of Adam, worship, yes, worship according to the text of the Qur’an, worshiping the abilities and the form in which they were created,

Allah says

{وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ} [الذاريات:56]

{And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me} [Al-Dhariyat: 56]

Does Satan have offspring?

Allah says

﴿ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَاءَ مِنْ دُونِي ﴾ [الكهف: 50

God Almighty said: “Do you then take him and his descendants as guardians besides me?” [Al-Kahf: 50]

So, the satan has descendants, as stated clearly in the Holy Qur’an

It was said that his offspring occurred through ovulation

But was it through a wife or through eggs? Each was said and there is no explicit text in it, Those who say that it whitens have cited the words of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace: do not be the first to enter the market or the last to leave it, for there are devils spawning and hatching, It was narrated by Al-Barqani in his Sahih, as Al-Nawawi said in Riyadh Al-Salehin.

The material from which they are made

God told us in His Noble Book about the origin of the creation of the jinn, and God Almighty said:  {And the jinn We created before that from poisonous fire}

{And He created the jinn from a flame of fire} [Al-Rahman: 15]

  {And the jinn We created before from poisonous fire} [Al-Hijr: 27]

And in the hadith On the authority of Aisha, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: “Angels were created from light. The jinn were created from a flame of fire (Narrated by Muslim: [2996].) Al-Marij: a bright flame with an intense flame, or a flame mixed with the blackness of fire.

And we benefit from this?

1 - When God - the Almighty - created a creation from raw materials present in the environment around us (water - earth - light - fire), the question is, are they now able to form human beings and animals and a great creation through genetic modification - we cannot deny that - but it is not only a simulation, but also from a living cell and not from deaf dust as God Almighty does. Perhaps this is the challenge, to reveal the secret of the craftsmanship in more than one verse in His Final Book and not care about that, And not only that, but - Glory be to Him, the Almighty, explicitly declared in His Book that there are creators besides Him, as He said in His glorious Book

( فتبارك الله أحسن الخالقين )

(o sanctify of God, the best of creators) -

2 - Some of them are righteous, and they were created for worship and they perform worship perhaps better than humans, and their reckoning is with God, so stop saying the cursed Satan, for Satan, as you will read in this article, is (the father of the jinn) and we in the world of people say (a corrupt person is created from the back of the scolar), and vice versa is true, and God is Most High and All-Knowing.


3 - Within the limits of my knowledge - they are created from living cell as stated above, but I have never heard again, within the limits of my knowledge, that they created from a flame of fire a creation that hears, sees, understands, speaks, takes shape, and so on.


Every individual among the sons of Adam has been appointed as a companion from among the jinn. On the authority of Ibn Masoud, he said: The Messenger of God said: “There is not one of you who has not been appointed by his companion among the jinn.”


They said: “And you, O Messenger of God?” He said: “And me, except that God helped me against him, so he became Muslim.” He does not command me to do anything but good.” (Narrated by Muslim: [2814])


Al-Nawawi said in his explanation of Muslim (17/175): He converted to Islam: he became a believing Muslim, and this is what is apparent. Al-Qadi said: “And know that the nation is united on the Prophet’s infallibility from Satan in his body, mind, and tongue.”

In this hadith there is a reference to warning against the temptation of the companion, his whisperings and his temptation, so let us know that he is with us so that we can beware of him as much as possible.

His story with angels

Allah says

وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّاإِبْلِيسَ أَبَى وَاسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَقُلْنَا يَا آدَمُ اسْكُنْ أَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَكُلَا مِنْهَا رَغَدًا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَأَزَلَّهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ وَقُلْنَا اهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُمْلِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ ﴾ [البقرة: 34 - 36]،

The story of the jinn and the devils with the angels. It is said that Satan is the father of the jinn, and it is said that the jinn are the fathers of the devils - we do not know specifically - that is, we would not have followed the verses as God Almighty said.


And when We said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam,” they prostrated, except for Iblis. He refused and was arrogant, and was one of the disbelievers. who said? God is the Lord of the Worlds and imagine the scene of the angels attending, Satan and Adam - peace be upon him, so God said to the angels, “Prostrate to Adam.” They prostrated because they were naturally born to obey and were not arrogant. As for Satan, according to the text of the Qur’an, he refused and became arrogant, and God made him one of the unbelievers, because he disobeyed God’s command and not because he did not prostrate to Adam. The other thing in the noble verse: Satan envied Adam, he envied him for the world (the earth) in which he would live, maybe because he lived there before him - if it is true that the jinn created the first creation on earth at all) and he loved the earth, so envy preceded arrogance, and God is Most High and All-Knowing. -

Allah says

وَقُلْنَا يَا آدَمُ اسْكُنْ أَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَكُلَا مِنْهَا رَغَدًا حَيْثُ شِئْتُمَا وَلَا تَقْرَبَا هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونَا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

And We said, O Adam, dwell you and your wife in Paradise, and eat from it freely wherever you wish, but do not approach this tree, so you will be among the wrongdoers


The scene after which fate will judge has ended. Look, they were at the beginning of creation. Perhaps you said that from the first trial and error, God judges Satan that he is one of the unbelievers, God is the one who created, and He is closer to all of His creation than the jugular vein, and He knows the whispering of the breasts, so He knows that there is no hope from His faith - as some people do. The beginning of another scene indicates to us the decision of God - the Almighty - End - He does not look behind him - I ask forgiveness from God for the expression - and begins the conversation with Adam and his wife Eve (He said to you, “Dwell in Paradise, you and your wife, and eat of it as you wish, except for a certain tree, It is a kind of test, a test of loyalty to God Almighty - why? Didn't he help him against Satan? Didn't he make the angels prostrate to him? Why is the test then a blessing to everyone? The truth is that it seems that God - the Almighty - wanted two things with this test - as comes to mind, and He is Most High and Most Knowing:


1 - Confirming the nature of Adam that it was different from the devils (disobedient by nature), and from the angels (obedient by nature), and that Adam made a distinction between these two natures. Hence, the caliphate came about because he was given the choice, and it was said that whoever is fertile is given the choice or is confused.


2 - The world that Adam will inhabit - Adam was not created for Paradise, but rather for this world - was created or the basis for it is testing and assignment, not gentleness and honor.

Allah says

فَأَزَلَّهُمَا الشَّيْطَانُ عَنْهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا مِمَّا كَانَا فِيهِ وَقُلْنَا اهْبِطُوا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَمَتَاعٌ إِلَى حِينٍ ﴾

Then Satan caused them to slip away from it and brought them out of the state they were in, and We said, “Go down, some of you enemies of one another, and you will have on earth a place of residence and enjoyment for a time.”


A slippage of the complexes, a slippage of desires, and it was the reason for their expulsion from Paradise. Didn’t I tell you that the matter is not just arrogance, the issue is envy, and God is Most High and Most Knowing, of course. Then the saying was directed directly to Adam and his wife and his descendants after him (Go down from it: some of you are enemies to one another... wait wait, Adam’s descendants were all sisters and brothers at the beginning of life. Could they be enemies to each other? Yes, this is the sunnah of life and the sunnah of testing. From here comes the choice, and it is yours on earth, (A temporary residence at a time written for each one of us) and enjoyment of what is in his hand until his death. and God is superior and knows the best.

The Jinn demons

A type of jinn who are rebellious

The evil Human demons

They are the rebels and villains of humanity

Satan He is the father of the jinn according to a group of scholars and he is the one who squeezed his tongue and was too proud to prostrate. 

Others of the scholars said

Satan is from a group of angels called the jinn. He was too arrogant to prostrate, so God expelled him and kept him away, and he became the leader of all evil, all evil, and all infidels and misguided people.


Every human being has a devil and an angel, As he said, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, when he said: There is not one of you who does not have his companion from among the jinn and the angels with him. They said: And you, O Messenger of God? He said: And me, except that God helped over him, so he became a Muslim, what is meant is that every human being has a companion among the angels and a companion among the devils. The believer is in obedience to God and His Messenger and adherence to the religion of God, He vanquishes his devil, humiliates his devil until he is weak and unable to prevail and prevents the believer from doing good, by encouraging him to do wrong and discouraging him from doing good, the believer must fear God and strive to fight his Satan by obeying God and His Messenger and seeking refuge in God from Satan.

Who inhabited the earth before Adam? There is no evidence from the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet that there are people who inhabited the earth before Adam, peace be upon him. Rather, it was sayings that were quoted from the people of interpretation among the Companions and Followers, and among these sayings are:

The First statement

He talks about the jinn as a people who inhabited the earth before Adam, peace be upon him, and they are the ones whom God created from hell. Al-Tabari mentioned this in his interpretation, quoting Ibn Abbas, saying that the jinn were the first to inhabit the earth, and they spread corruption there, killed, and shed blood.

The second statement

Neither jinn nor anyone else inhabited the earth before Adam, and Al-Tabari mentioned that Yunus told me, he said, Ibn Wahb told me, he said, Ibn Zaid said that God had said to the angels: I want to create people on earth, and put angels on it, and God has no creation at that time except angels, and there will be no creation on earth at that time.

The third statement

A people called the Han inhabited the earth, and then the jinn came to fight them and live in their place. This saying is one of the stories that are not based on authentic chains of narration.

The Jinn food and drink

The jinn eat and drink: On the authority of Ibn Masoud, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “.. A supplicant of the jinn came to me. So I went with him. So I recited the Qur’an to them. He said, “So he set off with us and showed us their traces and the traces of their fire.” They asked him for food. He said to you: Every bone on which the name of God is mentioned that falls into your hands will be more abundant in meat, and all dung is fodder for your animals.” The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “So do not cleanse yourself with them, for they are the food of your brothers.” (Narrated by Muslim: [450])


And in a narration: “A delegation from the jinn of Nasibin came to me, and what good jinn they were. They asked me for provisions, so I prayed to God for them that they would not pass by a bone or dung without finding food on it.” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari: [3860]), the believing jinn have every bone on which the name of God is mentioned, because the Messenger did not permit them to omit naming, and as for omission of naming, it is because the jinn are infidels. The animals of the jinn in the previous hadith of Ibn Masoud said that the jinn asked the Messenger for food, and he said: “...and every dung is fodder for your animals.”

The Djinn dwellings

The jinn inhabit this land on which we live, and they are frequently found in...

the damage

And sites of impurity, such as bathrooms, backyards, garbage cans, and cemeteries

That is why the Prophet’s guidance came by taking precautions when entering such places, by reciting the prescribed remembrances, and from that is what was reported on the authority of Anas bin Malik, may God be pleased with him, who said: When the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, entered the toilet, he would say: “O God, I seek refuge in You from impurity and evil things.” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari: [142], and Muslim: [375]). Al-Khattabi said: Wickedness is the group of the wicked. The plural of the evil is the male and female devils

Their reckoning on the Day of Resurrection

And the jinn will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection. Mujahid, may God have mercy on him, said in the Almighty’s saying: {And indeed Paradise knows that they will be brought to account} [As-Saffat: 158]. He said: It will be brought to account. Sahih Al-Bukhari: Chapter on mentioning the jinn, their reward and punishment.
