is he an angel?

002.034 And when We said unto the angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam, they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He demurred through pride, and so became a disbeliever.

002.035 And We said: O Adam! Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden, and eat ye freely (of the fruits) thereof where ye will; but come not nigh this tree lest ye become wrong-doers.

002.036 But Satan caused them to deflect therefrom and expelled them from the (happy) state in which they were; and We said: Fall down, one of you a foe unto the other! There shall be for you on earth a habitation and provision for a time.

Being that the Prophet Ala came after the first testament of The holy Bible was written i would say nice thought.
a prophet is just that. Not a God, how ever, it was those prophets who foretold of the coming of Christ. Not Ala.
Maybe they were one in the same depending on your region and language.
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Is this Iblis you speak of an angel? well my good book says Lucifer was the most beautiful angel of them all but became jealous and used trickery on Gods creation, man.He was then banished and given the earth to rule for a specified time.We are in those times.Seems to me, same saga, different actors.Believe in what your heart says is true, for God knows your heart.Does it really matter which Book you believe? or do you believe in what you fundamentally know is true? And who is this 'we' in the quran? The only ones present in the garden were Adam, his wife, God and this fallen angel.

A very bad angel. Iblis is the generic term for evil spirits. He is also know as the Devil or Satan.
