If we study Quran we understand why Shaytan is created:

16:99
Indeed, there is for him (Shaytan) no authority over those who have believed and rely upon their Lord.

16:100
His authority is only over those who take him as an ally and those who through him associate others with Allah .

Translation of the meanings of Quran .

Shaytan captures hearts when it is far from the one who created them, with no or little faith:

34:20
Sahih International
And Iblees had already confirmed through them his assumption, so they followed him, except for a party of believers.


34:21
Sahih International
And he had over them no authority except [it was decreed] that We might make evident who believes in the Hereafter from who is thereof in doubt. And your Lord, over all things, is Guardian.
