jinn:
The English translation of the first part of the verse ‘We said to the angels bow down to Adam: they bowed down except Iblis’, gives us the impression that Iblis was an angel. The Qur’an was revealed in Arabic. In Arabic grammar there is a rule known as Tagleeb, according to which, if the majority is addressed, even the minority is included. If for example, I address a class containing 100 students of whom 99 are boys and one is a girl, and if I say in Arabic that the boys should stand up, it includes the girl as well. I need not mention her seperately. Similarly in the Qur’an, when Allah addressed the angels, even Iblis was present, but it is not required that he be mentioned separately. Therefore according to that sentence Iblis may be an angel or may not be an angel, but we come to know from Surah Al Kahf chapter 18 verse 50 that Iblis was a Jinn. No where does the Qur’an say Iblis was an angel.

The Devil, who became Satan, was first called Lucifer. He was an angel given the most beautiful gifts. He was so beautiful that he decided that he wanted to be as God and sit on his throne. That was his downfall and he began to plot how he could accomplish this. He got 1/3 of the angel's to turn against God. There is no mention of a Jinn in the Bible.

Jinn. NOTE some of the responses on here, "ANGELS are real, jinn are just fairy-tales", kinda funny, when it comes from THEIR religion it's real, someone else's, a delightful story written to entertain children. I've read enough of the Quran to know the difference between an angel and a jinn.

He was an angel originally. In a prophecy given to the king of ancient Tyre, the prophet Ezekiel digresses and refers to Satan in chapter 28, verses 13 and 14 (from the words it's obvious that it is referring to Satan, since the king of Tyre was never in Eden, and was not an anointed cherub).
And by the way verse 14 says, in some translations, that he walked in fiery stones, which some people think indicates hell. But it's just referring back to verse 13, where it mentions various precious and semiprecious stones: bright, sparkley.

Lucifer was the anointed cherub that covered the throne of God. Ezekiel 28: 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Ezekiel 28: 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. A cherub was not a angel for angels don't have wings.

Satan was the most prominent and luminous angel and the most endowed and favored one of all God's angels. Even after he rebelled and sinned - he retains his intelligence and cunning and uses his powers for evil against God instead of for God's glory.
No human mind can match Satan's cleverness and brilliance and cunning. None.
Only Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father can defeat and destroy Satan the prince of darkness.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.
