According to Islam Satan was a jin (a creation of God created by fire) but God created angels with light(noor) so we believe that they were created from element of obedience (in other words created for obedience)

Staying within the context of Christianity... how did Satan fall if there was no freewill? Doesn't Revelation state that he takes 1/3 of all the angels?

I don't know if it says anything about that in the bible but I have kindof a logical answer. Angels are a little like soldiers. They have to be able to do what ever they are commanded to do even if they don't agree with it. So if the job is going to get done (ie. raining down fire and destroying an entire civilization) they have to have very little or no free will. Well it makes since to me.

Gen 6:1 Now it came about that when men started to grow in numbers on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, 2Â then the sons of the [true] God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose.
2 Peter2:4 Certainly if God did not hold back from punishing the angels that sinned, but, by throwing them into Tar´ta·rus, delivered them to pits of dense darkness to be reserved for judgment;

What is the meaning of "freewill?"
God exhaults those who are righteous and make them His angels.

i dont know forsure... but there is an idea that people support using the Bible that satan once was an angle, and that it was therefor his free will that caused him to sin against GOd. somewhere i was reading in revelation seemed to suggest that, i can find where now

No. Angels just obey.
Which is why Lucey (Lucifer to the uneducated) and his boys got kicked out. He decided to go his own way.

the whole point of any religion is to dispense with free will.
