In the 27th verse of A’raf Sura, it’s said about the Devil, “From places where you can't see them, he (the Devil) and those from his community see you.” |It can clearly be inferred from this that;
-the devil and his community see the people.
-the people can see neither the Devil nor anyone from his community.
Interpreters of The Quran consider "the genies" to be in the content of the expression "the Devil and his community" ( huve and kabiluhu). ( see Taberi,Camiu’l-Beyan fi-Tefsiri’l-Quran, 8/113,F. Razi,e’t-Tefsiru’l-Kebir, 13/54.)
While it’s the case, Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır says that “müfessirin” ( the interpreters of the Quran) said that it shouldn’t be supposed that human beings could never see the Devil.( see Hak Dini Kuran dini, 3/2147)
