Pronunciation: [ˈaʃ ʃˈe͡ɪtənz] (IPA) 
"Ash shaytans" is a commonly used term in Islamic theology, referring to the concept of evil spirits or devils. It is spelled with the Arabic letter "shin" (ش) which corresponds to the English "sh" sound, followed by the letter "ya" (ي) which has a long "ee" sound, and then followed by the Arabic letter "ta" (ت), which is similar to the English "t" sound. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be spelled [æʃ ʃæjˈtæns].
"Ash Shaytans" is a term derived from Arabic, where "ash" means "the" and "shaytans" are plural of "shaytan," directly translating to "the devils" in English. It is a phrase employed in Islamic teachings to refer to evil spirits or demonic entities. In Islamic theology, shaytans or devils are considered disobedient supernatural beings created from smokeless fire by Allah (God).
Ash Shaytans are believed to possess traits of deceit, malevolence, and a tendency to inspire and manipulate humans into committing sins or straying from the path of righteousness. They are considered adversaries of humans and are believed to influence and tempt people to engage in wrongful acts and immoral behavior.
Islamic doctrine teaches that shaytans work tirelessly to lead individuals astray from the straight path, attacking their faith, intellect, and morality. To counter their influence, Muslims are encouraged to seek refuge in Allah, maintain a strong connection to their faith, and diligently pursue knowledge about Islam.
The concept of ash shaytans warns believers of the unseen forces that actively strive to hinder the spiritual journey towards divine guidance and purification. By recognizing and being aware of these malevolent entities, Muslims are urged to resist their temptations, seek divine protection, and stay committed to the principles and teachings of Islam.
The word "ash shaytans" is of Arabic origin. It is a combination of two words: "ash", which means "the" in Arabic, and "shaytans", which is the plural form of "shaytan". "Shaytan" is an Arabic term that refers to a malevolent supernatural being or devil, similar to the concept of Satan in Christianity. In Islamic theology, "shaytans" are considered to be tempters and evil spirits that try to lead humans astray from the path of righteousness.
