Just as Hell is often depicted as the seat of the devil in Christian culture (though not in the bible itself), [Note 17] so too some Islamic scholars describe it that way. Al-Tha'alibis (961–1038) in his Qisas Al-Anbiya [ 236 ] and Al-Suyutis Al-Hay'a as-samya fi l-hay'a as-sunmya [ 237 ] describes Iblis as chained to the bottom of hell ...
The 16th century Tyndale and later translators had access to the Greek, but Tyndale translated both Gehenna and Hades as same English word, Hell.

Nevertheless, some rabbinic texts maintain that God created Gehenna on the second day of Creation (Genesis Rabbah 4:6, 11:9).
