Muslims, is this a contradiction?!
Question: According to 16:49-50, the Qur’an says that the angels are not arrogant and they do what God commands them to. While according to onother verse (2:34), when God commanded the angels to prostrate before Adam, Iblis (Satan) refused to do so.
onother vers says:
All the angels fell down prostrate, but Iblis did not. He refused to be among those who prostrated. Allah said: ‘O Iblis! What is wrong with you, why are you not among those who bowed down’. He replied: ‘I shall not bow down to something that you have created from sounding clay’. (15:30-33). again
And when We said to the angels: ‘Prostrate before Adam’, they all bowed down, except Iblis -- he was a jinn and he haughtily disobeyed his Lord. (18:50)
However, one may ask that if Iblis was not an angel, then how could he be said to have disobeyed God, by not prostrating before Adam, especially when the Qur’an says that the directive of prostration was addressed to the angels.

How do you know Iblis was not told to prostrate? Whether he was an angel or not is irrelevant. The fact that he disobeyed is the problem. ...'He refused to be among those who prostrated'...that could mean that others, aside from angels were told to bow down too.
why is this in celebrties? anyway it says ibliss or satan had free will and he wasnt an angel
im an atheist by the way
So many claim that "only humans" were given "free will", does this not prove that all of God's creations were actually given "free will", to do as they choose.
wut do u mean??
