Do Muslims believe in Satan?

Thanks a lot for your reply coreleone82. It's really interesting that Muslims believe that Satan is one of God's creatures, and not a separate force. I didn't know about the Devil world that's different to the human world. Is that a similar idea to hell, or something different? It's similar to Judaism I think that Satan tries to seduce humans to do bad things, but (if I've got it right), in Judaism he only does this to get humans to make the right choice. Not sure if that's the same in Islam. From what you say it's sounds as if he is said to be created by God, but has since turned bad. Yes, maybe you're right about the film, I suppose that even within one religion people have lots of different beliefs, and maybe the characters in the film come from a society that believes in the Devil, evil and hell. Thanks.

Thanks for your answer, and for saying nice things about the question! I love learning about different religions/cultures too, and I'm hoping that somebody will be able to teach me something here. (No disrespect to the respondents so far, lol!!) I'd love to know what the Muslim take is on this subject, maybe a Muslim person, or somebody who's knowledgeable about Islam will be able to help.

Thanks for your reply. (I'm actually going to make use of it if you don't mind, by correcting my quote from the film! I've just watched a bit more of it and realised what the neighbour says is "The Devil only takes beautiful babies". This might make a difference to someone, I don't know..) The idea of Satan as the devil who rules over all evil is definitely a belief in Christianity. However, Jews don't believe in the devil as such. They believe in "Ha Satan", (or the Satan), who, rather than being the ruler of all evil, is actually an agent working for God to test people! The central theme of Judaism is monotheism and the idea that "God is One". The concept of an equal and opposite evil power, separate to God, completely goes against this. In Judaism, Ha Satan is often described as the evil impulse in all of us. Think of the old cartoon where someone has a good angel on one shoulder and a bad (little, horned) devil on the other. Ha Satan is like the bad angel, employed by God to tempt us to do the wrong thing, in the hope that we'll use our free will to choose to do the right thing. Here's a good article that describes the Jewish role of Satan in terms of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I love it! http://www.beingjewish.com/basics/satan.html Bearing all this in mind, I assumed that Islam might have its own distinct take on the devil/Satan. So I'd love to learn about the Muslim interpretation.

Sorry for the long response to your reply! Happy myLotting to you too!

hi, with that being said, are there any religions that have Evil gods then? or is the concept of god always good?
