The angels and the devils are the most frequently mentioned supernatural entities in the Quran. In a broader sense, the term is used to designate everything from an ontological perspective that is a manifestation of evil. Among Muslim authors, the term can also apply to evil supernatural entities in general, such as evil jinn, fallen angels or Tawaghit. Taken from Islamic sources, 'shaitan' may be translated as ' demon' or 'devil'. The term shayatin appears in a similar way in the Book of Enoch, denoting the hosts of Satan. With the emergence of Islam, the meaning of shayatin moved closer to the Christian concept of devils. In pre-Islamic Arabia, this term was used to designate an evil spirit, but only used by poets who were in contact with Jews and Christians. The word Е ayб№ДЃn ( Arabic: ШґЩЋЩЉЩ’Ш·ЩЋШ§Щ†вЂЋ) originated from the triliteral root ЕЎ-б№-n ('distant, astray') taking a theological connotation designating a creature distant from divine mercy. Some writers describe the devils as expressions of God's fierce attributes and actions.

During Ramadan, the devils are chained in hell.ДЄccording to Sufi writings, devils struggle against the noble angels in the realm of the imaginal ( alam al mithal) over the human mind, consisting of both angelic and devilish qualities. Both hadith and folklore usually speaks about devils in abstract terms, describing their evil influence only. Hadith-literature makes them responsible for various calamities which may befall personal life. Related to the devils is Iblis (Satan), who is generally considered to be their father. They teach sorcery, assault heaven to steal the news of the angels and lurk on humans without being seen. The Quran speaks of various ways, how the devils tempt into sin. They are one of three invisible creatures in Islamic tradition, besides the noble angels and jinn, often thought of as ugly and grotesque creatures created from hell-fire.
