“Satan” : In Arabic is called “Shaitan” derived from the two verbs: ‘Shatana’ and
‘Shata’. The verb Shatana means avoided the right. The word Shata means burned, So
Satan who is far from the Right exposed himself to burning and being perishable. He is stricken by burning and damnation because of his farness from the God." (Source: "Islamic Education for Youths" By Mohammad Amin Sheikho, P 6)
