I Wander_In Error No More lucid_mirror How does it differ from Christianity? so his damnation to Hell was the terms of an agreement that Shaytaan had with Allah? o.o that's intriguing... all the more reason for me to love the Firey guy! blaugh and no, i'm not mocking, i have alway held Sympathy for Satan/Shaytaan/Lucifer/Iblis/Samael/whatever other names he has... i seem to be drawing half-blanks, but i can't check them again cause my research notes have gone missing... >.> he had this name that started with the letter "M" in this religion called Yezidi, where he was there Chief God, rather than their Creator, Yazdan (who is earily similar to Allah in their Creation Story).

yeh, Melek Tawaus, that was it! biggrin
thank you! ^.^
EDIT: or was it Melek Taus? oh dear... well, something like that...
he was represented by a Peacock (considered the Holy Animal of the Kurdish Tribes) and was praised for his Pride (which the Peacock represents). it was said that he took the form of the Peacock on Earth.

Hot..!
oh and in islam... the believer will go to heaven even if he/she is somehow evil(sinfull) in this world... but in order to clean them and deserve heaven they have to experience hell first.... to clean them um.... sort of like.... only clean shirts go to the commode
the people (that i know) that will suffer eternal hells are
1. unbeliever
2. suicidal ( both muslim and unbeliever)
3. musyrik ( unbeleiver / muslims that worships other than Allah)
oh and btw islam tach us that we can go str8 to heaven if we are worthy enough in the biginning... if our good is more than our sin

lucid_mirror How does it differ from Christianity? I'd say that one big difference is just that hell is more descriptive in Islam. In Christianity, it's not very clear what hell is, such as if it's a place of torment, a place of rest, or just a metaphor. Later on you have guys like Dante who tried to give more details about what they thought that hell was like, but Biblically there isn't much basis for this. In Islam, on the other hand, you have a little more to go on. The Quran makes reference to hell quite a few times, always as a literal, fiery place with different level of punishments for people depending on what they did to cause them to go to hell. If you look up Hell on Wikipedia, it talks about the different interpretations of hell for different groups.
