Description
The Arabic root ش-ط-ن (sh-ṭ-n) carries the core meaning of being distant, remote, or going astray from the right path, and from it derives Shayṭān (Satan/devil), referring to those who rebel against God and lead others astray. In the Quran, this root appears 88 times primarily describing Satan and devils as beings who have distanced themselves from divine guidance and actively work to mislead humanity away from righteousness. The semantic connection between distance/deviation and evil emphasizes that wickedness is fundamentally a state of separation from God and His path, making the devils tempters who pull believers toward moral and spiritual remoteness.
