Opis

Iblis, the character in the Qu'ran who refuses God's command to bow to Adam and is punished by eviction from heaven, is commonly depicted as a fiendish character. However, some Sufi stories describe Iblis as a figure tragically rejected by God. This book traces the origins and development of the Iblis story.
