[quote]Assalam Alaykum,
I must say, this has been one interesting discussion between oosman and Minara (though drifted from the topic a bit). 
Brother oosman said:

In the Quran, God calls Iblees a kafir (disbeliever) in 2.34. Even though Iblees believed in Allah, he is still called disbeliever, and Allah did answer his request to give him time to misguide humanity as a trial for us.

In my understanding Kaafir does not mean a non-believer but rejector. 
Non-believer does not know or understand that Allah exists.
A rejector (kaafir) is one who know that Allah exists but still rejects to submit. 
So Satan was a kaafir but believed in Allah.
And did he pray to Allah or challenged because of his pride (takabur). And in my understanding the near death scenario for a rejector and non-believer may be different.

Minara your concepts about Jinn, Humans, Angels etc are interesting and may explain many things. What I want to know is that is this entirely your own understanding or you used someone else's explanation (in parts). In the later case can you give the references?
Thank you for your attention.[/quote]
