In Islamic | In Islamic theology, [[Allah]] (God) created invisible beings called "[[Jinn|jinns]]". Some of the jinns are muslims (they obey Allah) and others are ''shaytans'' (they disobey Allah). The most important ''shaytan'' is Iblees, or Satan (generally referred to as "the ''shaytan''". Shaytans follow Iblees. The word ''shaytan'' has two meanings in the Qur'an, either it refers to a non-believing jinn(s) or it refers to Iblees himself (usually preceded with "the"). It depends on the context. | ||
