Question: what is the difference between 'demon' and 'devil'? I typically heart them used as synonymes. |
) / Jinn = demon/ Demons
Demons are beings that live in a parallel world with the psychical world, not all bad not all good, just like humans.
a devil is a demon who follow lucifer/eblis
in christianity and judasim, lucifer is a fallen angel, but in islam , lucifer is a demon , not an angel, who's the only one who refused to accept humans (or adam) and refused to bow to him when he came into the world, because he was made of clay and demons were made of smokeless fire, and because he thinks humans are easy to manipulate , therfore not worthy to be bowed to, so god made him live forever until the end of times to prove his point that humans are indeed not worthy , and are just wrong doers
when people say THE Shaitan , they mean Satan / Lucifer / The Devil , but when they say Shaitan, or Shiateen , they mean Devils, demons who follow lucifer.
