Shaitan

A demon or devil in Islam

Shayāṭīn, singular: Shayṭān (شَيْطٰان)) are evil spirits in Islamic belief, inciting humans to sin by waswasaħ to the heart. By such, they always try to lead humans astray. Although demons are usually spoken of in abstract terms, and more often described by their evil influences only, they are depicted as ugly and grotesque creatures of hell-fire.
