.IS, SHAITAN: He is the Chief Jinn. The Holy Qur'an says of
"Behold! We said to the angels, Bow down to Adam.' They
d down except Iblis. He was one of the Jinns, and he broke
ommand of his Lord. Will you then take him and his progeny
otectors rather than Me. And they are enemies to you! Evil
d be the exchange for the wrong-doers! I called them not to
css the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor [even their
creation]. Nor is it for Me to take as helpers such as lead
i] astray (Holy Qur'an 18:50)."

I is is also called Shaitan in the Holy Qur'an, wherein it says,
I behold, We said to the angels: 'Bow down to Adam.’ And
bowed down, not so Iblis. He refused and was haughty. He
of those who reject faith. We said: 'O Adam! dwell you and
wife in the Garden; and eat of the bountiful things therein as
rre and when] you will; but approach not this tree, or you run
harm and transgression.' Then did Shaitan (Satan) make them
Irom the [Garden], and get them out (Holy Qur'an 2:34-36)."
