According to Ibn Al Jawzi's Talbis Iblis: Satan has sworn to lead the children of Adam to their ruin. His weapon is cunning. He acts cunningly against all categories of human beings. One way to mislead people is to make them see the false in the form of the true.
In the Muslim tradition, Satan (or Iblis), blinded by his pride, convinced of his superiority over man, refused to obey the order of his Lord: "Prostrate yourself before the one I created from earth" [17/61].
His disobedience and pride cost him damnation. For Iblis, the sole cause of his downfall is man, this being of dust that the creator has chosen to place above all creatures.

Description
In turn, Iblis the fallen djinn, tried to push Adam to disobedience by advising him to eat a fruit from the forbidden tree in order to be, in turn, disgraced.
From now on, banished by their Lord, Iblis and Adam will find themselves in the same place of exile, the world of here below. Iblis will give no respite to Adam and his offspring. He will tirelessly try to divert humanity from the right path to lead it to its downfall. The cunning one will, by an effect of illusion, show the false in the form of the true (talbis). He managed to replace true beliefs and true worship with falsehoods, distancing men from truth and reality.
