Iblees is explicitly named in the Quran as a jinn who disobeyed Allah's command to bow to Adam. he refused out of pride, believing himself superior, and was cursed to be an outcast. Iblees is the individual who vowed to lead humans astray. he is a specific entity, the origin of evil in this narrative
Shaytan is a broader term in the Quran, often referring to Iblees but also used generically for any rebellious or evil entity, including jinn or humans who tempt others to sin. Iblees is identified as a Shaytan, but not all Shaytans are Iblees. it's more of a title or characteristic meaning "adversary" or "tempter"
The Quran does not explicitly mention a "serpent" in the story of Adam and Eve. in the account of their temptation, it is Iblees who whispers to Adam and Eve, enticing them to eat from the forbidden tree. unlike the Biblical narrative, where a serpent is the tempter, the Quran attributes this role directly to Iblees, with no mention of a serpent or any animal intermediary
