  Refusing to bow to Adam
Eblis is, therefore, a name peculiarly connected with the refusal to bow down before Adam and the reasons and motives that led to it; it occurs far less frequently in the Koran than al-shaytaan (Satan), which is used to designate the devil in the context of his maleficent plots against man.
Alternatively, Eblis is presented as being originally a jinn inhabiting the earth, who by virtue of the asceticism that set him apart from his fellows was elevated by God into the company of the angels, ultimately becoming their supreme instructor at the foot of the divine throne.
Eblis is, for example, the polar opposite of Adam: whereas Adam sought forgiveness for his act of primordial disobedience and accepted responsibility for it (Koran, 7:23), Eblis complained at having been led astray (Koran, 15:39); Adam is thus the manifestation of neediness before God and Eblis of obstinate pride.

 §4. "Vathek". XIII. The Growth of the Later Novel. Vol. 11. The Period of the French Revolution. The Cambridge ...
They are at last introduced, by a subordinate fiend, to the famous hall of Eblis, where, after a short interval, they meet with their due reward—the eternal torture of a burning heart—as they wander amid riches, splendours, opportunities of knowledge and all the other treacherous and bootless gifts of hell.
It is hardly possible to praise this conclusion too highly: it is almost Milton in arabesque, and, though Beckford has given himself insufficient space to develop the character of Nouronihar (Vathek himself, it must be confessed, has very little), there are hints and outlines which are almost Shakespearean.
After the malodorous and murderous sacrifice to Eblis, when Vathek and his mother carouse, the French has the very ordinary phrase that Carathis faisait raison à the various toasts of her son.

Eblis and the other band members followed the sound of Wally's music and confronted him, but they, in turn, were confronted by the Man-Thing, also drawn by the music.

 II - The Night Hunt - Destroyers at Jutland - Sea Warfare - Rudyard Kipling, Book, etext
Eblis had nearly finished reloading when a shot struck the davit that was swinging her last torpedo into the tube and wounded all hands concerned.
Says Eblis “I consider I must have considerably damaged this cruiser, as 20 feet of her side plating was left in my foc’sle.” Twenty feet of ragged rivet-slinging steel, razoring and reaping about in the dark on a foc’sle that had collapsed like a concertina!
She had completely demolished Eblis’s bridge and searchlight platform, brought down the mast and the fore-funnel, ruined the whaler and the dinghy, split the foc’sle open above water from the stem to the galley which is abaft the bridge, and below water had opened it up from the stem to the second bulkhead.

A jinn, and the ruler of the evil genii, or fallen angels.
When Adam was created, God commanded all the angels to worship him; but Eblis replied, "Me thou hast created of smokeless fire, and shall I reverence a creature made of dust?"

They achieve their quest but are doomed to suffer the agony of eternally burning hearts and, what seems even worse, the cessation of communion with anything outside their separate selves.
Nouronihar, however, though greatly dismayed, could not help admiring the person of Eblis: for she expected to have seen some stupendous Giant.

 Zahak the Dragon King (epic tale)
Eblis [the Spirit of Evil] appeared to Zahak one day in the guise of a righteous man, and he conquered the heart of the young prince through the appearance of goodness.
The young man was simple of heart, so he swore, as Eblis required, that he would listen to whatever Eblis told him, and would not repeat it to anyone.
Eblis said, "If you fail to carry out what I tell you, you'll betray your oath to me. This oath and my halter will fall over your neck; and you will become small, while your father is great." Thus he conquered the mind of the youth, and Zahak accepted his command.
