Answer 1

yes it is mentioned in holy Koran severeal times, like these verses :

"7.199": Take to forgiveness and enjoin good and turn aside from the ignorant.

"7.200": And if a false imputation from the Shaitan afflict you, seek refuge in Allah; surely He is Hearing, Knowing.

"7.201": Surely those who guard (against evil), when a visitation from the Shaitan afflicts them they become mindful, then lo! they see.

Answer 2

Ok, so ignore bryton.

I am an atheist, but on my way to being one I did read up a little on other religions. Most seem to have a Satan type be it a being or a force. Most religions would not exist without an evil side to stay away from.

Answer 3

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.

The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.

Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.

Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.

Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

Certain schools of thought (some of them Christian) deny the idea, however.
