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
1452 Satan ENT_ISR_SATAN received_as Samael ENT_GNO_SAMAEL medium Samael in Kabbalistic theology (Zohar) is the chief of the "other side" (sitra achra), the adversarial force opposing the divine — the direct reception of the Satan tradition. The Zohar explicitly identifies Samael as the great serpent/Satan figure: "Samael is the great dragon of the sea" (Zohar III.282a). The name Samael (Hebrew: "venom of God" or "blind God" in Gnostic contexts) appears in Jewish literature from the 2nd century BCE onward as an adversarial angel drawing on the Satan archetype. In the Apocalypse of Moses and the Life of Adam and Eve, Samael is identified as the devil who tempted Eve. Zohar SRC_ZOHAR reviewed Late Antiquity PER_LATE_ANTIQUE
