A qareen () is a spiritual double of a human, either part of the human themself or a complementary creature in a parallel realm.
The qareen belongs to the jinn in regards to its ghostly nature, yet distinct from jinn. Although the qareen can be either a devil or an angel, they are more often associated with malevolent spirits tempting into sin.
