Zarathustra (Zoroaster) was the first to clearly define an evil force. Jeremiah and Isaiah lived at the same time and borrowed his construct to add it to the Christian teachings. Before that "evil" things were thought to be due to anger of the Gods.

Judaism, Christianity and Islam all regard good as God's will, and all say that those who perform God's will are to be rewarded in heaven.

Judaism and Christianity regard humans as having free will to do good or evil, while Muslims are more likely to believe that one is subject to one's fate. Christians and Muslims regard Satan as the evil adversary of God, seeking to tempt people to perform evil, while Jews see Satan as the loyal assistant of God, tasked with testing the righteousness of the faithful All three religions are faced with what philosophers call the problem of evil.
