Conflicting opinions exist on the faith of the Qarin. One opinion is that the qarin, being a jinni-type creature, if not guided by his human companion on the right path, becomes a shaytan by the command of God. The companion will be what its guide is or more than what the guide is.[2] However the second opinion is that the Qareen is evil and having one’s Qareen become a Muslim was something that was unique to Muhammad.[3]
