As a "on of Iblis", it is a demon (shaitan) and not a jinn in Islamic lore.).

In Islamic demonology, Dasim (Template:Lang-ar-at) is one of the five sons of Iblis.[according to whom?] He is a shaitan who causes hatred between man and wife.[1] His four brothers are named: Awar (اعور or لأعوار), Zalambur (زلنبور), Sut (مسوط), and Tir (ثبر).
