ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Iblis

Iblis is a character in Islamic beliefs who is similar to the idea of Satan in Christianity. Iblis was once an angel named Azazel who refused to bow down to Adam, the first human being, because he believed that he was superior to him. Allah banished him from heaven and made him into a devil, which means that he now tempts humans to do bad things and disobey Allah.

Just like how we have good people and bad people on earth, Iblis is one of the bad guys in Islamic beliefs. He tries to convince people to do things that are wrong, like hurt others, lie or cheat. Muslims are taught to resist participating in such bad deeds and to seek Allah's help to fight temptations. So, we should be careful and always try to do what is right, even if Iblis tries to stop us.
