[quote]I agree about the overall lesson. However, whether Satan is Angel or Jinn mattered to me. A Christian originally posed this question to me and the crux was that Satan was a &quot;Fallen Angel&quot;. I come from a Christian family background and always had difficulty with Satan being an Angel. I always felt that Allah created the Angels perfect with perhaps limited knowledge and with specific functions. Jinn have been allotted free will no?  Thusly, they can &quot;decide&quot; to NOT obey Allah. Which Satan obviously did.

I want to express that although sometimes a question or the relevance that question poses to one may not pose or even seem worthy to another. I am a convert and must say that the Quran has answered many if not all of the religious and faith based questions I ever had. The Quran is my anchor unlike the Bible could never be. So, questions that are posed sometimes can come from what we have been conditioned to believe from another faith that has been drilled into us as concrete with no other reason other than someone said so. Islam demands proof and we are now taught to ask that proof as well as clarification which is a new experience for many. It is refreshing since many of us hear...&quot;It's what our family believes dear&quot; and that is not good enough any more as a Muslim.
 I appreciate all of the posts that people took the time to write down and express their views. This time it comes from Brothers and Sisters and not just because someone said so, which to me as a convert means a great deal. Thank you all for taking the time to post. Salams.[/quote]
