| 1424 | ENT_ISR_AZAZEL | received_as | ENT_ISL_IBLIS | medium | [re-sourced v2.1.59 — Davidson, A Dictionary of Angels (1967), s.v. "Azazel": "According to the legend in Islamic lore, when God commanded the angels to worship Adam, Azazel refused … Whereupon God cast Azazel out of Heaven and changed his name to Eblis"; cf. s.v. "Eblis". The identification is tafsir/legend (al-Tabari, Ibn Kathir), not Qur'anic text, so the edge no longer cites SRC_QURAN.] Islamic tafsir tradition identifies Iblis's pre-fall name as "Azazil" — directly cognate with the Hebrew Azazel (Leviticus 16:8-10, the scapegoat demon of the wilderness). The identification appears in major commentators including al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir, who record that Iblis was called Azazil before he refused to bow to Adam. The Azazel→Iblis chain transmits the wilderness demon / expelled divine being tradition rather than the Satanic accuser tradition; both converge in the Quranic Iblis figure. | SRC_DAVIDSON_ANGELS | reviewed | PER_ISL_EARLY |
