The term Satan (Hebrew: ha-Satan; Persian: sheytân; Arabic: al-Shaitan ) is a personification of antagonism which has traditionally been associated with the three Abrahamic religions Judaism, Christianity and Islamic belief. In Judeo-Christian belief Satan is an angel known as 'the accuser' and a Jinn 'the adversary' in Islamic belief. Further both terms were orininally, used as a title for numerous entities that challenged the religious faith of humans in the Hebrew Bible. Since then, the Abrahamic religions have used 'Satan' as a name for The Devil.
Nevertheless, 'ha-satan' of the Old Testament (particularly the Book of Job) and 'Satan' of the New Testament are different entities. Also in Islamic belief, The Devil is known as Iblis.
