Demons and Oneness of Allah

The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

Summary: A fundamental tenet of a true religion is the faith of monotheism, i.e., the Oneness of Allah (Tawhid). However, Shaitan and all the demons believe in the Oneness of Allah too. Yet, they will find their eternal destiny in the flames of hell. So, entrance into al-Jannah (Heaven) requires more than affirming the faith of Monotheism. According to the prophets and apostles, it requires atonement for sins and a personal relationship with Allah.

Monotheism is a basic truth that is explicitly taught and defended in the Old and New Testaments. It is a common theme through out the entire Bible. The Holy Scriptures teach numerous other truths too. For example, the scriptures affirm that Allah is the sole Creator of the Universe. All of these truths are vitally important, and human beings are expected to believe them. In addition, there have been numerous individuals in the course of world history who believed these truths, but who never learned these truths from a prophet or a prophet’s writings. The basis of their belief was that the natural creation itself teaches these truths.



The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Psalms 19:1-3 (NIV)

King David wrote in the Psalms that a fool says in his hearts, "There is no God" Psalms 14:1, because the truth of Allah is so obvious from creation's order and design. The Apostle Paul quoted approvingly from pagan Greek poets who believed many excellent truths about Allah (Acts 17:28).

As important as the truth of monotheism or Allah’s Oneness is, it has no salvific value in itself. Believing and defending this truth will not permit entrance into al-Jannah. A person might believe that Allah is Creator, All-Mighty, Supreme, Infinite, Just, One, Lord of the Worlds and still be cast into the flames of Hell. The Apostle James pointed to some individuals who were very proud of their belief in Allah’s Oneness. The Apostle was quick to reply, "Even the demons believe that." Basically, these individuals thought they could ignore the practical instructions of the apostles and prophets because they believed in Allah’s Oneness.



You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that — and shudder. James 2:19 (NIV)

Shaitan and all his hosts of demons are pure monotheist and believe in the Tawhid or Oneness of Allah. Demons are not atheists or polytheists. They believe in the existence of an Allah. Hence, they believe in theism. Even more than mere theism, demons believe in 'one' Allah. Thus, demons believe in pure monotheism. They do not believe in polytheism. Jews, Christians, Muslims, and the infernal demons all belong to the great faith of monotheism. So, it is no wonder that demons have no reason to hinder the preaching of pure monotheism to all the world's population. Yet, they would do everything they could to oppose the gospel of salvation being preached to lost sinners. One form of demonic opposition is the blasphemy laws that some Muslim countries have legislated the freedom to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Salvation and entrance into al-Jannah (heaven) depends upon the forgiveness of sins. This is true for Muslims as well as professing Christians. A person might claim to be a Christian and worship Christ as King, Lord, Teacher, Prophet, and Master and still become fuel for the flames of hell. As sinners, we all must first make sure that our sins have been atoned. The sinner needs to be cleansed from his or her sins before he or she can enter glory. The essential and universal message of the divine prophets is the necessity of atonement for our sins and a personal relationship with Allah.

Believing the truth of Allah’s Oneness has no redemptive value. If it did, then all the demons would be saved and be welcomed into al-Jannah. Even though demons believe in Allah’s Tawhid, they will find themselves in the flames of hell forever! Vastly more important than Allah’s Oneness is Allah’s Salvation of sinners. After the Judgment of the Last Day, every person in hell will believe in Allah’s Oneness. What good will it do them believing in Allah’s Oneness when they are in fiery torments? Absolutely, nothing! The vital question is not Allah’s Oneness, but the question of your many sins and the Final Judgment.

Your begging entrance to al-Jannah because you believed in Allah’s Oneness will be utterly worthless. Allah will reply, "Even the demons believe that." Dear sinner, your belief must rise higher than the faith of Shaitan. Shaitan was a pure monotheist long before Ibrahim. The constant message of the ancient prophets was the necessity of atonement for sins. Are your sins atoned by the death of another? This is the message that began with Adam and Eve and continued throughout all the divine prophets and apostles. May Allah give you the grace and humility to accept the message of the ancient prophets and apostles. You need desperately to have your sins washed away. Allah loves you and desires that you come just as you are to the cross of Calvary in repentant and faith.
