UNVEILING THE SECRETS OF MAGIC AND MAGICIANS
(that displeased them)...”: this is God’s saying: “Beware not to incline to what the devil displays”, because his purpose was but to strip our Father, Adam, and our Mother, Eve, of their states of entering into closeness with God by showing them something that displeased them. “…he and his minions see you whence you cannot see them. We have made the devils guardians over those who do not believe.” That is, the Almighty made them the leaders of those who have wicked spirits so as to bring out such wickedness in them. The Holy Qur’an, Fortress 7, Al-A’raf (The Heights), verse 27
But why did God make them so? I say, the patient should be treated. Indigestion requires a laxative, and the furuncle needs to be cleaned to get rid of the pus. So, when it comes to one whose spirit has been filled with wickedness, the devil would be like a cure for them. The devil would bring out the ill desire that is in existence within their spirit, and then the Almighty would treat them by means of the distress that they feel, or with an affliction so that they may repent. Thus, Satan and his companions, who are definitely devils, are the ones who see you. They are the friends of those who are without faith. You will not find people who believe in God and who, at the same time, also make friends with ones that are so far from God and far from His messenger. If they were true believers, they would not be friends with the unbelieving devils. So there is absolutely no believing jinni that will ever appear to humanity.
