Answer:
Yes, devils (Shayateen) do whisper to humans, and this is confirmed in the Quran.- Allah’s Statement in Surah An-Naas:
"From among the jinn and mankind."
[Surah An-Naas: 4]
This verse clarifies that the devils who whisper into the hearts of people belong to both the jinn and humans. - Whispering by Human and Jinn Devils:
Allah further explains in the Quran:
"And thus We have made for every prophet an enemy—devils from mankind and jinn—who inspire one another with embellished speech to deceive. And if your Lord had willed, they would not have done it; so leave them and that which they invent."
[Surah Al-An‘am: 112]
This verse indicates that both human and jinn devils engage in mutual deception and misguidance. They inspire one another with false, appealing speech to lead others astray.
Key Points:
- Whispering in the Hearts:
Shayateen, from both jinn and humans, whisper doubts, temptations, and evil suggestions into people's hearts to mislead them. - Enemies of Prophets and Believers:
Every prophet faced opposition from both human and jinn devils, who worked together to deceive people. - Mutual Cooperation Among Devils:
Human and jinn devils collaborate, using eloquent and attractive speech to misguide others.
