IBLIS , or EBLis, in Moslem mythology the counterpart of the
Christian
  and Jewish devil. He figures oftener in the Koran under the name Shaitan, Iblis being mentioned r 1 times, whereas Shaitan appears in 87 passages. He is
chief
  of the spirits of evil, and his personality is adapted to that of his Jewish prototype. Iblis rebelled against
Allah
  and was expelled from
Paradise
 . The Koranic legend is that his fall was a
punishment
  for his refusal to
worship
 
Adam
 . Condemned to death he was afterwards respited till the judgment day (Koran vii. 13).
See Gustav Well, The Bible, the Koran and the
