❖ Question:
Is Iblīs (Shayṭān) from among the jinn?
❖ Answer:
Yes, Iblīs is indeed from among the jinn.
Allah Almighty clearly states:
"إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِ"
"Except Iblīs; he was from among the jinn and he disobeyed the command of his Lord."
[Sūrah al-Kahf: 50]
This verse is a clear and explicit proof that Iblīs belongs to the jinn.
