Abn Iblis ابن إبليس
"What is more absurd and more impious than to attribute the name of Lucifer to the devil, that is, to personified evil. The intellectual Lucifer is the spirit of intelligence and love; it is the paraclete, it is the Holy Spirit, while the physical Lucifer is the great agent of universal magnetism."

Ancient pre-Islamic Arabia coincided with Mesopotamian religion. The earliest artifacts are clay tablets from 3000 B.C. The god Attar was worshiped by the Arabians, Absynnians, Moabs, Canaanites, Babylonians and Phoenicians.
Attar ruled the planet Venus which was known as the Morning and Evening Star. In these culture's cosmology Attar unsuccessfully attempts to dethrone Baal the god of the Underworld. Babylonian myth has Helel attempting the same. When one culture conquered another culture, it was common for the conquering culture to denounce that culture's cosmology. This practice continued throughout the history of the Middle East and still survives today today.
During Greek and Roman times (3rd / 4th century B.C.) there became cults dedicated to a deity called Lucifer who was attached to the planet Venus. The earliest reference is from the work titled 'Timaeus' written by Plato in 360 B.C. the Roman poet Virgil talks about Lucifer in writings from 29 B.C and Publius Ovidius Naso also speaks about this Roman deity in his work "Metamorphoses" from 8 B.C.
Clearly the original Lucifer is of Roman descent and centuries before Christianity. Hebrew texts never mention Lucifer or anything similar. The word Lucifer found its way into the Judeo-Christian religion in the 5th century A.D.
In 382 AD, Pope Damasus I commissioned St. Jerome to write a revision of the old Latin translation of the Christian bible and was completed fully by the 5th century A.D. In Isaiah 14:12 it read; "Et habemus firmiorem propheticum sermonem : cui benefacitis attendentes quasi lucernæ lucenti in caliginoso donec dies elucescat, et lucifer oriatur in cordibus vestries" . . . Jerome translated the Hebrew helel (bright or brilliant one) as "Lucifer," which was a reasonable Latin equivalent.
Translated: "whereunto you do well that ye take heed, as to a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts"
More importantly and where most become confused is that Isaiah is speaking about the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar and referencing him with the title Morning Star . . . remember the god Attar being a fallen deity because he attempted to usurp another god? The title Morning Star is also used by Jesus himself later in the New Testament;
Revelation 22:16: "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
The title Lucifer / Morning Star was used to refer to Mercury of the Gauls, the Serpent of the Ophites, the Kundalini and Budha of the Vedic, and Uræus of the Pharaoh! There is no Roman Lucifer in the Judeo-Christian texts until the 5th century A.D. when St. Jerome added it knowingly that the title referenced the Babylonian king and the Mesopotamian god Attar as Morning Star / Venus and was associated with a failed attempt to over-throw another god . . . thus the Christian god became triumphant over all other religions and their gods.
