S 2:34 And when we said to the angels: Do sujud to Adam, they did sujud except Iblis. He refused and was arrogant and was of the kafirun.


Except? But he wasn't an angel but a jinni.



S 7:11 And we created you then we formed you. Then we said to the angels: Do sujud to Adam. So they did sujud except Iblis. He was not of those who did sujud.


S 15:31 Except Iblis. He refused to be with those doing sujud.


S 15:32 He said: Iblis, what is wrong with you that you are not with those doing sujud?


S 17:61 And when we said to the angels: Do sujud to Adam, they did sujud, except Iblis. He said: Am I to do sujud to one you have created as clay?


Created as clay? Not from clay?


S 18:50 And when we said to the angels: Do sujud to Adam. So they did sujud except Iblis. He was of the jinn. And he acted immorally against his lord’s command. So do you take him and his offspring as protectors instead of me when they are an enemy to you? Miserable was an exchange for the wrongdoers.


Exchange?



S 20:116 And when we said to the angels: Do sujud to Adam, they did sujud, except Iblis; he refused.


S 26:95 And all Iblis’ troops.


S 34:20 And Iblis confirmed his assumption concerning them so they followed him except a party of the believers.


S 38:74 Except Iblis; he was arrogant and was of the kafirun.


S 38:75 He said: Iblis, what prevented you from doing sujud to what I have created with my hands? Were you arrogant or were you of the exalted?


Who were the "exalted"? Were they bad?


Why does the Quran sometimes call this creature "Iblis" and in other passages, even in the same surah, "Al-Shaytan" (The Devil)?
