Here is a link purporting to explain it. http://www.themystica.org/mystica/articles/i/iblis.html



Isn't Iblis the Whisperer who whispers to man to commit sin?

How would that be too strong for Sooner?
My belief dances around Almightly God who creates just the goodness. And that evil is the lack of the goodness. We believe that the evil (Iblis) was never an angel but a Jinn who like humans can be good or bad. So for SoonerCoug who has been saying he does not believe in God to actually digest this, will probably make him sick to his stomach.

But this thread is actually a test of our imagination rather our beliefs.

What would you do if you were the evil??
