Old Testament

.....

(((A start up commentary.)))

(((As a brief comparison between religious texts, it is worth mentioning the separation and division manifested when GOD created mankind out of his image and declared mankind to be the gardener with responsibility of Earth. Satan was struck by envy and hate since he believed the earth would be his domain and jurisdiction. The fallout between GOD and Satan, who refused to bow down to GOD´s creation led to the war were GOD threw Satan from the heavens to the earth bound to toil just like mankind. On his way down to earth, Satan cursed GOD and GOD´s creation promising to go inbetween, manipulate and distort GODS image by corrupting his creation in every way possible.)))

(((Satan were throw down by GOD from heaven crashed down on Earth for not bowing down in respect for GODS new creation - Mankind. In his rebellion he promised to infiltrate, manipulate and corrupt the human offspring so they would not be recognizable to GOD))).

"Iblis[a] (Arabic: إِبْلِيسْ, romanized: Iblīs),[1] also known as Shaitan, is the progenitor of the devils (shayāṭīn) in Islam. According to the Quran, Iblis was thrown out of heaven after refusing to prostrate himself before Adam. In Sufi cosmology, Iblis embodies the cosmic veil supposedly separating the immanent aspect of God's love from the transcendent aspect of God's wrath. He is often compared to the Christian concept of Satan, since both figures were cast out of heaven according to their respective religious narratives. In his role as the master of cosmic illusion in Sufism, he functions in ways similar to the Buddhist concept of Mara.[2][3]
