1. Shaitan

   Shayāṭīn (شَيَاطِين; devils or demons), singular: Shaiṭān (شَيْطَان) are evil spirits in Islam, inciting humans (and jinn) to sin by "whispering" (وَسْوَسَة, “waswasah”) to their hearts (قَلْب qalb), grotesque creatures created from hell-fire.(p21)The Quran speaks of various ways that shayāṭīn tempt humans into sin. They may teach sorcery, assault heaven to steal the news of the angels, or lurk near humans without being seen. Related to the shayāṭīn is Iblis (Satan), who is generally considered to be their leader. Hadith-literature holds shayāṭīn responsible for various calamities which may affect personal life. Both hadith and folklore usually speak about shayāṭīn in abstract terms, describing their evil influence only. During Ramadan, the shayāṭīn are chained in hell. Shayāṭīn form a separate class of invisible creatures besides the angels and jinn of Islamic tradition,(p21) According to Muslim philosophical writings, shayāṭīn struggle against the noble angels in the realm of the imaginal (alam al mithal or alam al malakut) over the human mind, consisting of both angelic and devilish qualities. Some writers describe the shayāṭīn as expressions of God's fierce attributes and actions.
