“I was reading a book recently, nothing scholarly or deep, just a story, and I came across names like Azazeel, Manayus, Zaryus, Sugyal. Characters. Fictional. But each one had an ‘assignment.’ Their roles were dark and intentional.

And for a moment, I paused.

Not because these names are real, they’re not.

But because they reminded me of something real:

that the unseen world has systems.

Whole departments of distraction, division, temptation, and decay.

And whether we admit it or not…

we are all on their list.

This isn’t about fear.

It’s about awareness.

About knowledge we ignore because we cannot see it.

When I revisited those fictional names, I realized:

the Qur’an and Sunnah actually do tell us clearly about real shayāṭīn and their categories:

  • Iblīs – the chief, the commander of rebellion
  • Qarīn – a personal shayṭān assigned to every human
  • Khanzab – the one who disrupts your salah
  • Shayāṭīn al-jinn – the devils among the jinn
  • Marada – the powerful, rebellious ones
  • Ifreet – strong, cunning jinn mentioned in the Qur’an

This is all from sahih, authentic sources, not fiction.

I don’t enjoy talking about this.

It drains me.

Anything that deals with creatures or negativity pulls something out of me.

I’m not perfect, I’m not trained, I’m not ‘a pro’ in this area.

But something inside me keeps saying:

“This needs to be structured.

This needs to be understood.

This knowledge should not stay hidden.”

It took me so much energy to draft these thoughts.

Even now, it still doesn’t feel polished enough.

But I want to say this honestly, not as a scholar, not as an expert, but as a human who wants good for her family, her siblings, her friends, and even people who don’t know me.

Because at the end of everything,

conspiracies, misunderstandings, hatred, human flaws.

I just want all of us to reach Jannah.

Even if you dislike my ideas.

Even if you disagree with me.

Even if you think differently.

Some knowledge should be normalized:

the reality of shayṭān, the traps of the unseen, how temptation works, how influence works, how the soul gets targeted.

Not in a dramatic way, not in a horror-story way,

but in the same way you learn psychology, emotional intelligence, or how society functions.

People call it the “matrix.”

Some call it conditioning.

Some call it manipulation.

But from an Islamic lens, we know:

there are beings created to distract the children of Adam.

Every speaker talks about this, every scholar tries to explain.

And still, we people remain selective, half-aware, half-listening.

Maybe everyone has barriers.

Maybe everyone hears from their own perspective.

I am not a polished writer.

I am not a theologian.

But somewhere inside me, there is an inner architect in every human,

a voice that wants to build understanding,

to make things clear, structured, and honest.

That’s why I divided my thoughts into chapters.

Not because I’m an expert,

but because these ideas needed a place to land.

Each chapter explores a small angle,

how influences work, how whispers operate, how humans fall into traps,

and how we can protect our souls in a world that never stops pulling us.

These chapters are not ‘final answers.’

They are simply the pieces of understanding Allah allowed me to see.

Because wisdom doesn’t come from me anyway.

Or from you.

It is Allah who gives understanding to whom He wills.

And I am just trying to lay down the pieces

so someone, somewhere,

can finally see the full picture.”

I think somewhere feel like small talk, but I tried to put all my words, and ideas, it took so much time.
