Did Muhammad Believe Demons Could Be Used for Good?

In this episode of God We Trusted, Will and Sam examine Islam from a Christian perspective and ask how the Bible describes false teachers and religions outside Christianity. They discuss Jesus’ warning about false prophets, Paul’s teaching about deceitful spirits, and several Bible passages they believe frame false religion as demonic. The conversation also compares the Bible’s view of demons and fallen angels with the Quran’s teaching about jinn, Iblis, and Muhammad’s reported encounters with Gabriel. A large part of the episode focuses on hadith reports, the “satanic verses” discussion, and claims the hosts believe show Muhammad’s strong focus on the demonic realm. For viewers exploring Christianity, this episode encourages testing religious claims carefully and comparing them with the gospel of Jesus.
