A devil, often referred to as a demon, is a supernatural being typically associated with evil or malevolence in various religious and cultural traditions. In many belief systems, devils are seen as tempters or adversaries to humanity, often opposing the divine or moral order. They are frequently depicted as having the ability to influence human behavior, leading individuals away from righteousness.
In Christianity, the devil is often identified with Satan, a fallen angel who rebelled against God. In Islam, a similar figure known as Iblis refuses to bow to Adam and is cast out for his disobedience. These beings serve as symbols of temptation and moral challenges in the narratives of their respective faiths.
