Allah is described as Nur (light), Shiva means darkness. Is Shiva same as Satan, who was once devotee of Allah, as both of them hold the trident?

 It's important to clarify that the descriptions of Allah as "Nur" (light) and Shiva in Hinduism as a deity associated with darkness are within different religious and cultural contexts. Allah is the Islamic concept of God, and "Nur" is one of the attributes used to describe the divine light or illumination associated with Allah's presence.

On the other hand, Shiva is a deity in Hinduism, and the characterization of Shiva as associated with darkness may be a particular aspect within Hindu mythology and symbolism. However, it's crucial to approach religious and cultural comparisons with sensitivity and accuracy, avoiding oversimplification or misinterpretation.

As for the notion that Satan was once a devotee of Allah and that both Satan and Shiva hold a trident, this appears to be a misunderstanding or a misinterpretation of religious concepts from different traditions.

In Islamic theology, Satan (Iblis) is considered a disobedient and prideful creature who refused to bow to Adam when commanded by Allah. There is no concept of Satan being a former devotee of Allah.

In Hinduism, Shiva is often depicted with a trident (trishula), but this symbolizes various aspects such as creation, preservation, and destruction rather than a direct association with Satan or darkness.

It's essential to approach discussions about religious and cultural beliefs with respect for the diverse perspectives held by different communities. Drawing parallels between deities from different religions can lead to misunderstandings, and it's crucial to recognize the unique theological and cultural contexts of each tradition.
