A comprehensive ontological theory should encompass all the entities. The approach of Koran to entities is holistic rather than fragmented. Koran does not limit entity only to material
entity level, but refers to the ones beyond senses; Koran mentions about them and verifies them. Instead of making a distinction between natural and supernatural, human world and intangible world, Koran brings together both in its holistic ontology. Holy Koran approaches the ontology on holistic grounds and in this holistic ontology, metaphysical entities also have their place beside factual entity world. The entity hierarchy of Koran embraces both observable and unobservable, human and intangible worlds in which angels, jinns and demons exist. Therefore, based on holy Koran, we can speak about jinns, angels and demons in the same vein as we speak about humans and universe. These are the intangible entities whose qualities are known and appreciated by Allah. In this study, jinns, angels and demons assertively notified in Koran will be of concern and their features will be elaborated.
