Satan was once a guardian cherub named Lucifer. Lucifer was created by God Himself. Lucifer was blameless and perfect in his ways. Hence, he became arrogant and desired to be like God. Due to the evil of the guardian cherub, God cast Lucifer down to the earth. Thus, the guardian cherub, once a friend of God, became satan, the devil, the father of lies, the serpent.

Satan is actually incredibly loyal to God and like other angels, performs his duty without question or issue. Judaism holds that God explicitly created the Satan as he created all of the angels. However, unlike Christianity, Judaism asserts that the Satan never rebelled against God nor does he direct or control evil in the world. The Satan is God's loyal opposition, whose job it is to cross-examine God, His actions, and advocate against humanity. This leads to him generally having the responsibility for arguing that humans should not receive mercy when they arrive in the Afterlife (in contrast to God who wishes to provide mercy). These constant arguments with God could be considered "fighting", but since he is only arguing with God because that was the function he was made to perform, it is not really fighting.
The Satan is one of the few angels in The Bible whose name is never explicitly stated; the Satan is his title, i.e. the Opposer, just as the Healer is Raphael's title.

Isz Islam a Jewish god or spirit?
I am not sure what you are asking, so I will try to explain somethings that you may find helpful. Judaism believes in one god called YHVH. In Judaism there are not really spirits. Judaism has angels which are seen as messengers of God. Judaism also does not traditionally have a devil. Satan in Judaism is an angel of God. Satan is the angel that tests man and calls into question man's sins when a person dies. Satan has a bad job, but Satan is not bad. Jews see the idea of an evil Satan as impossible because an angel cannot disobey God. A Jew might also view the Christian view of Satan as dualistic, a belief in two gods. In Christianity there is God, who is good, and Satan, who is evil. God and Satan are opponents, they fight each-other, this means that Satan is on equal playing field as God. Islam also believes in one God. In Islam Satan is a spirit who is not equal to God. Satan, just like humans, has free will. Satan is not on the same realm as God, he simply exists in God's universe doing what he chooses, Satan just happens to choose to do things that are evil. All religions have different interpretations, though, so you may be thinking of a unique cultural form of Judaism that might have a story of a spirit. I can say for certain, though, that there is only one god in Judaism. Christians, Muslims, and Jews all worship the same God.
Is the christian god Jesus Satan?
