Satan, also known as
the Devil, is an entity in Abrahamic religions that seduces humans into sin. In Judaism, Satan is seen as an agent subservient to God, typically regarded as a metaphor for the
yetzer hara, or 'evil inclination'. In Christianity and Islam, he is usually seen as a fallen angel or jinn who has rebelled against God, who nevertheless allows him temporary power over the fallen world and a host of demons. In the Quran, Iblis is an evil entity (
shaitan) made of fire who was cast out of Heaven because he refused to bow before the newly created Adam and incites humans to sin by infecting their minds with
waswās.
