Satan

Satan is often depicted as the adversary of God and the embodiment of evil in various religious traditions. In Christianity, he is a fallen angel who rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven. He tempts humanity to sin and opposes divine will at every turn. His role in religious texts varies, sometimes as a deceiver, accuser, or tester of faith. In Islam, he is known as Iblis, who refused to bow to Adam out of pride. His arrogance and disobedience led to his eternal punishment.

Across different faiths, Satan represents temptation, chaos, and moral corruption. He is often portrayed as a serpent, dragon, or horned being in literature and art. Some traditions see him as a symbolic force rather than a literal entity. His influence is believed to lead people away from righteousness and toward destruction. Many religious teachings emphasize resisting his deceptions through faith and virtue. His existence serves as a reminder of the struggle between good and evil in the human soul.
