Iblis

Iblis is a character mentioned in the Quran. He is from the Djinn and refused to bow before Adam.^[2] This is because Iblis thought that he was better than Adam. Because he felt from heaven, he is often compared to Lucifer. However, Iblis is not God's enemy, he is only the enemy of djinn and humans.
