Angels and Satan are psychological metaphors. They are not beings.

“Satan” is the human ego — the destructive impulse, the appetite that overrides judgment, the voice that wants to take, to dominate, to lash out, to consume past the point of sense. It has no horns. It is you, on your worst day.

“Angels” are the human conscience — the corrective voice, the hesitation before cruelty, the impulse toward mercy and restraint. They have no wings. They are also you, on a better day.

This reframing costs the religion nothing and explains a great deal. Nobody is possessed. Nobody is being whispered to. Nobody needs an exorcism, an amulet, a recitation, or a ruqyah practitioner charging by the hour.

You are in a lifelong argument with yourself. Shafafi Islam simply names the two sides honestly.
