are you asking if there are demons in Islam?


If you are refering to Jinn when you say demons There are good an bad jinn. you really cant call them demons because jinns can be good and bad and take any form

Jinn - Supernatural, invisible beings race of beings, below angels. They were made from fire and are capable of looking like humans or animals. Some may dwell in rocks, trees, etc, and may possess black dogs, and black cats. There are good and bad Jinn and all will be judged on Judgment Day.

Here is a listing of faqs about Jinn: http://www.islamawareness.net/Jinn/faq.html

Angels and jinn can assume different forms and shapes and appear in this world. Here, we observe movement from the visible to the invisible: Water evaporates and disappears into the atmosphere, solid matter becomes a liquid or a gas (steam), and matter becomes energy (nuclear fission). Likewise, we observe movement from the invisible to the visible: Gases become fluids, evaporated water becomes rain (as well as snow or hail), and energy becomes matter. Similarly, intangible thoughts and meanings in our minds can appear in the tangible form of letters and words in essays and books. In an analogous way, such invisible beings (to us) as angels, jinn, and other spirit entities can become visible.

We read in Qur’an 19:17 that the spirit that Allah sent to Mary (the mother of `Isa [Jesus]), and whom Muslim scholars say is Angel Jibreel (Gabriel), appeared before her as a man. When Jibreel came to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he sometimes came as a man, in the shape of a Companion named Dihyah. For example, he came following the end of the Battle of the Trench and told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “O Messenger of Allah, you have taken off your armor but we, the angels, have not yet done so. Allah orders you to march upon the Banu Quraizhah.” (Bukhari and Muslim) Once Jibreel came as a man dressed in white and, in order to instruct the Companions in religion, asked the Prophet such questions as, What is belief? What is Islam? What is ihsan (excellence or perfection of virtue)? When is the Day of Judgment? (Muslim)

Like angels and jinn, Satan (who is a jinn) can appear in different forms. It is narrated that before the Battle of Badr, he appeared to the Quraishi leaders as an old man from Najd and advised them. Likewise, a Companion guarding Ramadan’s Zakah caught a disguised Satan trying to steal some items. Satan entreated the Companion to release him, which he did twice. On the third time, the Companion tried to take him to Allah’s Messenger. But Satan appealed, “Release me, and I’ll tell you how you can secure yourself against me.” The Companion asked what that was, and Satan replied that it was Ayat Al-Kursi (Al-Baqarah 2:255). When informed of this, Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commented, “That one is a liar, but (on that occasion) he told the truth.” (Bukhari)

The Qur’an relates that a group of jinn listened to Allah’s Messenger recite the Qur’an and, when they returned to their people, said, [O people! Surely we listened to a Book that has been revealed after Moses, affirms what precedes it, and guides to right and the Straight Path] (Al-Ahqaf 46:30). The surah continues with what they thought about what they had heard. Some traditions tell us that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) recited parts of the Qur’an and preached his message to the jinn.

The Scriptures point out that the creature primary as devil did no longer constantly have that call. somewhat, this descriptive call grew to become into given to him by way of fact of his taking a direction of opposition and resistance to God. The call he had formerly that isn't given. God is the only writer, and ‘his activity is appropriate,’ without injustice or unrighteousness. (De 32:4) consequently, the only transforming into devil grew to become into, while created, a appropriate, righteous creature of God while devil approached Eve (in the process the speech of the serpent), he actual challenged the rightfulness and righteousness of Jehovah’s sovereignty. He intimated that God grew to become into unrightfully withholding something from the lady; he additionally declared that God grew to become right into a liar in asserting that she would die if she ate the forbidden fruit. The bible would not say devil and his demons stay in hell. See under: Revelations 12: 7-12 - And conflict broke out in heaven:...and the dragon and its angels battled 8 whether it did no longer be triumphant, neither grew to become right into a place got here across for them any further in heaven. 9 So down the large dragon grew to become into hurled, the unique serpent, the only called devil and devil, who's deceptive the comprehensive inhabited earth; he grew to become into hurled all the way down to the earth, and his angels have been hurled down with him. ...12 in this account be happy, YOU heavens and you who stay in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, by way of fact the devil has come all the way down to YOU, having large anger, understanding he has a short quantity of time.” devil has a time cut back to coach his factor - that guy can stay self reliant from God effectively & that men purely serve God for egocentric motives. while God turns his interest to earth and unGodly people devil & his demons would be abyssed for a million,000 years to permit the international strengthen the way God meant - he will then be released for a very final time to take as many unGodly with him. At that factor they are going to be destroyed. the priority of Gods familiar sovereignty will on no account arise back.

If there are fallen angels in Islam, how do we know whether the angel who appeared to Mohammed was good or wicked?
