This brings me to interesting thought, but first I must ask, does Christianity believe Angels or Satan or Demons have a soul?

There is different views. Firstly, the issue of angels/demons are not as important for most Christian theologians as the more important issues for Christians such as e.g. Salvation. Some theologians take the viewpoint that angels/demons are spirit beings in a “special” body similar to what resurrected Christians will get after the Judgement day. Other believe that they have a soul as well because they can reason, have emotions and have a free will. Myself…I haven’t really made any study on the issue.

Since we believe Jinn can take possession of humans, naturally there exist ways to make the Jinn depart as well. Usually those methods are called Ruqyah.

Can you elaborate more on the methods? (Who/how/where/when/etc.).

We believe in the evil eye as wel, is there any such concept in Christianity.

I don’t think so. Who has the evil eye and what are the consequences?
