The Qarin, The constant companion
The unseenThe constant companion
The Qarinالقرين
A companion from the jinn assigned to every person, whispering to them all their life.
The Quran says whoever turns away from the remembrance of Allah, a devil is assigned as his companion. On the Day of Judgement that companion will disown him: I did not make him transgress. The Prophet ﷺ said every person has a qarin from the jinn, and that Allah helped him against his, so it only told him good.
What does the Quran say?
And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion.
