In Islam the devil was created before Adam(pbuh) and he was in level of angels at first.
Allah says : " And surely, We created you (your father Adam) and then gave you shape (the noble shape of a human being), then We told the angels, "Prostrate to Adam", and they prostrated, except Iblis (Satan), he refused to be of those who prostrate.
Allah said: "What prevented you (O Iblis) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?" Iblis said: "I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay".
(Allah) said: "(O Iblis) get down from this (Paradise), it is not for you to be arrogant here. Get out, for you are of those humiliated and disgraced".
(Iblis) said: "Allow me respite till the Day they are raised up (the Day of Resurrection)".
(Allah) said: "You are of those allowed respite".
(Iblis) said: "Because You have sent me astray, surely I will sit in wait against them (human beings) on Your Straight Path.
Then I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and from their left, and You will not find most of them as thankful ones (i.e. they will not be dutiful to You)".
(Allah) said (to Iblis) "Get out from this (Paradise) disgraced and expelled. Whoever of them (mankind) will follow you, then surely I will fill Hell with you all." [Quraan 07 : 11-17]
As you can see from this story here Satan had a choice either to kneel with angels or to refuse kneeling and he choosed not to kneel, thats why he is now "humiliated and disgraced" because of the way he choosed.
Allah shows us in the right way and we have the choice to follow it or not.

You are mis understanding everything cuz! God lived in heaven, there is no time, no nothing...its heaven! There was no light, and no dark! God created light, for the world! And after God created his angels, it was Satan who disobeyed God and tried to take his place out of jealousy, God did not want that! He did not Create satan, but an angel who turned bad! Dont you think that if God created us, he deserves to be in charge? If you created something and someone tried to steal it from you, what would you do? And God gave EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US A CHANCE! SO DO NOT SAY IT IS HIM! If you go to Hell...ITS ALLLL ON YOU! He loves us so much, that even though we are wicked, he sent his ONLY son to die for us, so we can ALL have a chance, but still people will not believe! God loves you so much, that he isnt going to FORCE you to believe in him! And if you do believe him, great things he will do for you. And just for your information...God does not want to be God...BECAUSE HE IS GOD.

God created Satan yes, but he did not create evil. Think about it like this if you raised and had a child, would you know his every future thought or action. of course not.
And even if God did know Satans future, that does not mean God commited these things.
I think you are just looking for ways to cause anger and bitterness.
I hope you'll learn to forgive and know peace and joy soon.
Find Christ.

God gave Satan free will, Satan made His choice to rebel and he'll have to live with the consequences.
God is not evil but he does have to punish evil. How can justice and Holiness prevail if God turned a blind eye to evil deeds?
Everyone knows that laws and punishment is the glue that holds a society together, who are we as mortals to argue with the wisdom of God?

Satan was an angel of God who turned against Him. Satan was created by God, not related to God. Satan is an example of defiance, and what happens to it. I hope you find God and enjoy His peace, love and protection.
