Which reconciliation best respects the texts about angels and Iblis?
The Prophet’s Excellence and the Obedience of Angels
- Infer angelic species from Iblis’s presence among angels
- Force every exception to be connected and reinterpret the clear jinn verse
- Restrict the general description of angelic obedience to one specific occasion
- Keep the general angelic obedience text and identify Iblis as a jinn by explicit revelation
