Whenever the Quran speaks about the creation of jinn, their fire is described with special attributes (like "smokeless"), whereas Iblis' fire is never described in such a manner throughout the Quran. Paul Eichler argues that, especially when the Quran calls Iblis a jinni, his creation from fire is not mentioned, while when his creation from fire is mentioned, the connection between Iblis' fire and the fire of the jinn is absent. In objection to the Quran relating Iblis to the jinn, some scholars argue this to be unlikely the general opinion of the Quran. Both, created from fire, oppose God's new creation out of envy. Samael might be the midrashic counterpart of Iblis. For this reason, one might assume Iblis was intended to be an angel. The motif of prostrating angels with one exception among them already appeared in early Christian writings and apocalyptic literature. This lack of final specification arises from the Quran itself, while Iblis is included into the command addressed to the angels and apparently among them, it is said he was from the jinn in Surah 18:50, whose exact meaning is debated by both Western academics and Islamic scholars. Iblis may either be a fallen angel or a jinni or something entirely unique. He is also known by the nickname " Abū Kardūs" ( Arabic: أَبُو كَرْدُوس), which may mean "Father who piles up, crams or crowds together". In Islamic traditions, Iblīs is known by many alternative names or titles, such as Abū Murrah ( Arabic: أَبُو مُرَّة, "Father of Bitterness") as the name stems from the word " murr" - meaning "bitter", ‘ aduww Allāh or ‘ aduwallah ( Arabic: عُدُوّ الله, "enemy or foe" of God) and Abū Al-Harith ( Arabic: أَبُو الْحَارِث, "the father of the plowmen").

The name itself could not be found before the Quran in Arab literature, but can be found in Kitab al Magall, a Christian apocryphal work written in Arabic. However, there is no general agreement on the root of the term. Yet another possibility relates this name to the bene Elohim (Sons of God), who had been identified with fallen angels in the early centuries, but had been singularized under the name of their leader. Another possibility is that it is derived from Ancient Greek διάβολος ( diábolos), via a Syriac intermediary, which is also the source of the English word ' devil'. Furthermore, the name is related to talbis meaning confusion. The name Iblīs ( Arabic: إِبْلِيس) may have been derived from the Arabic verbal root BLS ب-ل-س (with the broad meaning of "remain in grief") or بَلَسَ ( balasa, "he despaired"). Some Sufi Muslims hold a more ambivalent role for Iblis, considering him not simply as the Devil but also as "the true monotheist", while preserving the term shayṭān exclusively for evil forces. Shayṭān is usually applied to Iblis in order to denote his role as the tempter, while Iblīs is his proper name. In the Islamic tradition, Iblis is often identified with al-Shayṭān (" the Devil"), often known by the epithet al-Rajim (Arabic: ٱلرَّجِيْم, lit.'the Accursed'). When God created Adam and ordered the angels to bow down, Iblis, being a jinn created from fire, refused, and disobeyed God, leading to his downfall. Worshipping God for thousands of years, Iblis ascended to the surface, whereupon, thanks to his pertinacious servitude, he rose until he reached the company of angels in the seventh heaven. In the alternative account, God created Iblis from the fires beneath the seventh earth. After Iblis objected to God's decision to create a successor ( k̲h̲alīfa), he was punished by being relegated and cast down to earth as a shayṭān (devil).

In the first version, before Iblis was cast down from heaven, he used to be a high-ranking angel ( Karub) called Azazil, appointed by God to obliterate the original disobedient inhabitants of the earth, who were replaced with humans, as more obedient creatures. Regarding the origin and nature of Iblis, there are essentially two different viewpoints. According to the Quran, Iblis was thrown out of heaven, after he refused to prostrate himself before Adam. Iblis ( Arabic: إِبْلِيس, romanized: Iblīs), alternatively known as Eblīs, is the leader of the devils ( shayāṭīn) in Islamic mythology.
