Is Iblis an Angel? A Jinn? Or Both?

Sorry I may have stated it wrong [26:193] The Trustworthy Spirit came down with it. [16:102] Say, “The Holy Spirit brought it down from your Lord, in truth, to stabilize those who believe, and as guidance and good news for the Submitters.”

This Spirit is the Angel Jibraeel/Gabriel
[2:97] Say, “Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel—it was he who, by God’s will, brought it down upon your heart, confirming what preceded it, and providing guidance and good news for the believers.”
[16:2] He sends down the angels with the spirit from His command, upon whom He wills of His servants, saying, “Warn that there is no god but Me, so fear Me.”

Ruhullah, Ruh UL Amin, Ruh UL Quds
There are many more were Gabriel as the spirit who brings guidance from our Lord to instill in our hearts

So this conclusion is made about how “Jibreel” is same as “Ruh”. Sorry I don’t take this as a must applied equation, there are differences in the very form of description used in quoted “ajehs”. I’m pretty careful when this phenomenon occurs “making different words used and mix it into one”…

Iblees or shaytan rageem is most probably Id (Das Es) which or who works subtly on and through ego and self esteem which can’t be known or controlled by our souls. It has been an unknown stranger (jinn) for our minds. In turn it is an angel (ayah) of our God and a jinn for us.
I also think Mikal (Michael?) in Qur’an is Resool himself and Cibril (Gabriel?) is the scripture itself.
Actually we need to understand soul (nefs), spirit (ruh), logos (word, kalime) and holy Geist (ruh kuds) which is very complicated and this confusion led to Christian trinity. I refrain from mentioning any particular idea concerning these issues.
Vassalam.

Sure, making very discussion about “ruh” is not encouraged in the Qur’an even for prophet chosen by God:

‫وَیَسۡـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلرُّوحِۖ قُلِ ٱلرُّوحُ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّی وَمَاۤ أُوتِیتُم مِّنَ ٱلۡعِلۡمِ إِلَّا قَلِیلࣰا﴿ ٨٥ ﴾‬

They ask you about the “ruh”. Say, ‘The “ruh” is part of my Lord’s domain. You have only been given a little knowledge.’


Al-Isrāʾ, Ayah 85

Salaam my fellow belivers. This was an interesting topic you people where on recently. I've just joined the group and came across this topic which I have been trying to understand. So I since I have red all the opinions above I remember that something is missing in this metaphorical parable or story which is about ADAM.
First of all I think we have to understand the term adam so you can come to understand iblis also. Why I am saying this is that the quran mentioned in the same story about Adam's counter part or pair.
Question.
Who is Adam's pair???
Because in the quran the Almighty said he created everything in pairs if I am not mistaken. He created the two pairs.
Like ying and yeng

Please with due respect what do you remember on this statement of mine
Thank
