I have excerpted this from the book by shekh Rifa'ai siroor entitled when sheep are shepherded by wolves. He passed away last Wednesday may Allah swt accept his wonderful effort and grant him paradise's highest levels...

[Abz2000]

nice, all new knowledge to me, did you know that the word devil comes from the same pool as iblis?

the Ancient Greek διάβολος (diabolos)
is also a variation of the term and has somehow gone through spain to england to become devil

French: diable
Italian: diavolo
Portuguese: diabo
Spanish: diablo
English: devil

[Ghazalah]

Salaam alaykum..

Subhanallah I heard this today in a lecture, they were mentioning linguistics of the Quran, then just added at the end about Shaytaan.

He passed away last Wednesday

Yeah, my dad was telling me but I was too clued out to get what he was saying.

may Allah swt accept his wonderful effort and grant him paradise's highest levels...

Ameen.

Falamma nasoo ma thukkiroo bihi fatahna AAalayhim abwaba kulli shayin hatta itha farihoo bima ootoo akhathnahum baghtatan faitha hum mublisoona

6:44 But when they forgot the warning they had received, We opened to them the gates of all (good) things, until, in the midst of their enjoyment of Our gifts, on a sudden, We called them to account, when lo! they were plunged in despair!

you see here that the end of the aya is the word mublisoon, which is a derivative or iblis to mean despair
