Can a descendant of Satan find redemption and serve the cause of God? This article explores the remarkable account of Ham Ibn Haym, a member of the Jinn and great-grandson of Iblis, who repented and sought the path of righteousness.

The text details Ham's interactions with various prophets, from assisting Prophet Yusuf (a) in the well to conveying the salutations of Prophet Isa (a) to Prophet Muhammad (s). A central focus of the narrative is Ham’s meeting with the Messenger of Allah (s), who entrusted Imam Ali (a) with teaching him the Quran. The article examines historical reports suggesting that Ham’s journey of faith ultimately led him to fight alongside Imam Ali (a) during the Battle of Siffin. By citing both Shi’a and Sunni sources, this resource provides a unique perspective on the nature of the Jinn, the universality of repentance, and the recognized status of the Divinely appointed successors.
