“And (remember) when We said to the angels: “Prostrate yourselves unto Adam.” So they prostrated themselves except Iblis (Satan). He was one of the jinn; he disobeyed the command of his Lord. Will you then take him (Iblis) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me while they are enemies to you? What an evil is the exchange for the Zalimun (polytheists, and wrongdoers, etc).” [18:50]
·Allah stated that He created the jinn from fire, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire” [15:27]
“And the jinn He created from a smokeless flame of fire” [55:15]
Iblis was a Jinni, a creature made of "smokeless fire" by God, while like humans are made of "clay." In an outburst rooted in envy, Iblis disobeyed Allah and was expelled from divine grace. He also lured Adam and Eve into eating fruit from the forbidden tree. He was condemned by Allah (God) to Jahannam, or Hell. He replied by saying that he first wanted to bring the inhabitants of Earth down with him, and Allah, to test mankind, allowed him to roam the Earth to attempt to misguide others.
Till Day of Judgement, he is leading Humans astray except the one Allah choses to guide.
Iblis at the end will be thrown into Jahannam along with his followers
