In the Qur'an, which creatures are known to lure people into dangerous places?

The correct choice is jinn, as they are supernatural beings within Islamic belief described in the Qur'an. Jinn are known for their ability to influence and manipulate humans, often leading them into dangerous situations or temptations. They possess free will, much like humans, which allows them to choose to act benevolently or malevolently. The concept of jinn includes a variety of harmful or mischievous spirits that can lure individuals away from safety or righteousness.

This portrayal distinguishes them within the realm of creatures mentioned in other cultures and mythologies, such as Gjenganger, which are ghosts in Scandinavian folklore; Shebah, which could refer to figures from various traditions; and Strega, which are witches in Italian folklore. None of these figures are depicted in the Qur'an as having the same role or characteristics as jinn, particularly in terms of luring or enticing individuals into perilous situations.
