of evil<br />

Others claimed that the Creator, <strong>The</strong> Light, had a dreadful thought<br />

which was: I worry that some of my creation will oppose me. Out<br />

of this thought came Iblis.<br />

Al-Nubakhti said that some Zoroastrians claimed thatthe Creator<br />

had a doubt in something, so the devil was generated out of this<br />

doubt. Others claimed that God and the devil were ancient (preeternal)<br />

beings with a large space between the two of them. And<br />

that the world was purely good until Iblis penetrated the sky along<br />

with his soldiers and that God ran away from them with His angels<br />

and fought them for three thousand years. This was only one of<br />

many of their hallucinations that we do not want to waste time narrating.<br />

What is strange is that they affirmed <strong>The</strong> Creator to be purely<br />

good but claimed that He had a dreadful thought! So based on this<br />

argument they allowed for an angel to be produced out of a good<br />

thought made <strong>by</strong> Iblis!<br />
