Iblīs (Arabic إبليس), is the name of the primary devil (Shaitan or Satan) in Islam.

Etymology

The word may be derived from the Arabic verbal root balasa بَلَسَ, meaning "he despaired"; therefore, the linguistic meaning of Iblis would be "he/it that causes despair".[1] However, some maintain an etymological derivation from the Greek "Diabolos".[2]

Origin

In contrast with the Christian tradition, the Qur'an names Iblis as a jinn[3] rather than an angel. The Jinns are one of three intelligent races created by God, and are created from smokeless fire,[4] and in the Islamic tradition are considered to have free will. In Islam, angels are another intelligent race created by God and are seen as messengers who do not possess free will.[5] Humans are the third intelligent race who also possess free will.

When God commanded all of the angels and Jinn to bow down before Adam (the first Human), Iblis, full of hubris and jealously, refused to obey God's command (seeing Adam as being inferior in creation due to him being created from mud).[6]

And We created you (humans), then fashioned you, then told the angels: Fall ye prostrate before Adam! And they fell prostrate, all save Iblis, who was not of those who made prostration.
He (Allah) said: "What hindered thee that thou didst not fall prostrate when I bade thee?" (Iblis) said: "I am better than he. Thou createdst me of fire while him Thou didst create of mud".
Qur'an 7:11-12

It was after this that he was given the title of "Shaitan" which can be roughly translated as "Evil" or "Devil". He then claims that if the punishment for his act of disobedience is to be delayed until the day of Judgment, he will divert many of Adam's own descendants from the strait path during his period of respite.[7] God accepts the claims of Iblis and guarantees recompense to Iblis and his followers in the form of Hellfire. In order to test mankind and jinn alike, God allowed Iblis to roam the earth to attempt to convert others away from his path.[8] He was sent to earth along with Adam and Eve, after eventually luring them into eating the fruit from the forbidden tree.[9]

Depiction

Iblis attempts to corrupt humans through temptation and through false suggestion.[10] At the day of Judgment, Iblis will be sent to Jahannam (the Islamic depiction of Hell) along with the "Companions of the Fire". Muslims believe that through Islam, those who successfully follow a righteous path will be rewarded with the pleasures of Jannah (Paradise).

The Qur'an does not depict Iblis as the enemy of God, for God is seen as supreme over all of his creations and Iblis is just one of his creations.[citation needed] He is, however, the enemy of man.[11] While in Christianity, Satan is ultimately considered the source of all evildoing, Islam also names the nafs, or self, as also a source of disobedience.

He is more often referred to in the Qur'an as the Shaitan, a general term which is also sometimes used to refer to all of the evil spirits in alliance with Iblis. Iblis is mentioned by name 11 times, whereas Shaitan ("al-Shaitan") is mentioned 87 times.
