1422 Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN received_as Iblis ENT_ISL_IBLIS high The Islamic Iblis (Quran 2:34, 7:11-18, 18:50, 38:71-85) is the direct reception of the Hebrew/Christian Satan: he is the cosmic adversary who refuses God's command, is expelled from the divine realm, and dedicates himself to leading humanity astray until the Day of Judgment. The Arabic name Shaytan (used interchangeably with Iblis: "And We said to the angels, 'Bow to Adam,' and they bowed, except for Iblis. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord" — 18:50) derives from the same Semitic root as Hebrew satan (adversary). The functional role, cosmic narrative, and linguistic trace are all continuous. Qur’an SRC_QURAN reviewed Early Islam PER_ISL_EARLY
1424 Azazel ENT_ISR_AZAZEL received_as Iblis ENT_ISL_IBLIS medium 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.
