    Why do you think demons don’t exist? Wouldn’t it be logical to think that if Allah, angels, Iblis, and jinns exist; by extension is it such a reach to believe that Shayāṭīn exist?

    I’m sorry if this is a simple question, as I’m not very knowledgeable on this topic from the Islamic perspective on it. I am not very spiritual and besides books and learning, most of my experience is with Christianity and Judaism.

      Ah, I should clarify I do believe in shaitan but not the hollywood/christian/western versions of demons. Jinn have free choice just like us (humans). There are Jinn who choose to be disobedient to Allah (swt) and work for Iblis (Lucifer/Devil) and THOSE are called shaitan.
