Wamidal is a demon depicted in the Compendium Of Demonology and Magic (1775). I wasn’t able to find any information on this demon.

Iblis is the Satan of the Qur’an. He’s the jinn who refused to bow to Adam and thus was cast out of heaven. However, he’s not an opponent to God, he was banished for his disdain for humanity. He has seven hairs on his chin and is blind in one eye.
