Qote:-Verse 18:50 clearly says that Iblees  was a Jinn.

Reply:- There are two important phrases in  18:50

1- "We said to the angels, "Fall  prostrate before Adam." They fell prostrate, except Satan." this phrase confirms that Satan (Iblees) was one  of the angels, otherwise 
the command to prostrate given to the angels by God  would not apply to him.

2-  "He  became a jinn, for he disobeyed the order of His Lord." the arabic words used here are "Kana min  al-jinn" .... the arabic word "Kana" has two different meanings, the first is  (WAS) and the second meaning is (BECAME). By simple logic we can find which meaning is  intended for the word "kana" in 18:50. If you look at the first phrase again, we are  told that Satan was an angel, thus the first meaning of the word "kana" , which  is "WAS" cannot be the correct meaning. This is because Satan was an angel, he  was not a jinn, this leaves the second meaning of the word  "kana" which is "BECAME" ....and this is the correct meaning, since Satan was  an angel who rebelled against God so he BECAME a jinn . He was an angel , then BECAME a  jinn

Iblis was made of fire when God made him a jinn,  but before that he was an  angel ....... in any case, what angels are made of is  not the deciding factor here, the deciding factor is that God tells us that  Satan was an angel and then became a jinn.

<<<< Iblees had a free will to disobey Allah, angels do not have a free  will>>>>>

Brother where in the Quran does it say  that angels do not have a free will?
