Homonym: Shaitan (Devil)
Shaitan is a term used in Islamic theology to refer to a rebellious spirit or entity that opposes the will of Allah. Often associated with temptation and evil, Shaitan is considered a source of misguidance for humans, encouraging sinful behavior and straying from the path of righteousness.
In Islamic tradition, Shaitan is often identified with Iblis, a figure who refused to bow to Adam and was subsequently cast out of Paradise. Shaitan's role is to lead individuals away from faith and good deeds, serving as a reminder of the constant struggle between good and evil in the world.
