AI overview

Iblis is a figure in Islamic tradition who refused to bow to Adam when the angels were commanded to do so, an act of disobedience that became significant in Islamic theology and cosmology. His refusal and subsequent fall from grace illustrate themes of pride and rebellion that are central to Islamic understanding of good and evil.
