Iblis
In
Persian and
Arabic lore,
Iblis is the equivalent of
Satan or the
Devil. Variations of his name are
Eblis and
Haris.
In
Islamic lore,
Eblis was known as
AZAZEL, and once was one of the most exalted of
angels, serving as treasurer or
Paradise. But when
God created
Adam and commanded the angels to
worship him, he refused, and was cast out of
heaven along with a band of his followers. They all became
JINN.
