Satan in Islam

[Hulk]

Yes, it's a mistake to trust anyone. I believe Satan can come in any form.

Is that belief based on religious text?

 

[YusufNoor]

Do Muslims believe in the same Satan that is described in the Bible? He is said to be a serpent tempting Adam and Eve.

this is the clarifications about Islam section, not comparative religion. to clarify, Muslims are NOT encouraged to read the Bible...at all.

Maybe it would help you if you read the Quran again.

this is a good answer!

because of man's creation, Shaytan rebelled against Allah. he declared his war on man. Allah let him until judgement day. all except the sincere may be persuaded by him.


(lost my Quran search link, but find one and look up Shaytan.)
