There is a deeper, more subtle sickness behind Iblees's words: "I am better than him: You created me from fire and him from clay."
This sickness becomes clearer when he blames Allah for his own misguidance and corruption. It is a sickness that stems from delusion, arrogance, and self-conceit. To understand it, let's analyze a simple example:
Imagine a billionaire attends an event you're invited to, and in an Oprah Winfrey fashion, he declares ...See more

The main purpose of the stories in the Qur’an is to teach us lessons that can be applied in our daily lives.
For example: the story of Adam (peace be upon him) and Satan/Iblis teaches us that we should never ever harbor the feeling that we are better than someone else. Harboring such feelings of superiority will lead us to become totally distant from our Creator (as was the case with Satan/Iblis).

Al-Khaafidh (the Abaser) comes from the root kh-f-dh. It was used to refer to the camel when he lowers his head. When referring to God Almighty (exalted is He), Ibn Atheer said, 'It is He who lowers the oppressors and humiliates them.' At times we see tyrants with so much power, but slowly they are toppled down. And this is not just for rulers who are oppressive. When Iblees said: 'I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him fr...See more

The next time you try logically get yourself out of obeying Allahs command using logic, qiyas (analogy), or other forms of reason, then remember the first one who tried to reason himself out of follwing the clear cut command of Allah swt was satan.
Tareq Abed

Trying to justify your decision to disobey Allah SW will always be illogical and not in line with the truth.
His justification, though Iblees is very informed of the world and the creation, was completley wrong as his arrogance blinded him from the truth. Is fire better then mud?
1. Fire is high and haughty as mud is humbled and low
2. Fire destroys life, while mud creates life (trees, vegetation, etc)
3. Fire harms while mud can actually be us...See more

وهذا تقريع من الله للمشركين الذين كفروا بمحمد -صلى الله عليه وسلم-... استكبارًا عن أن يكونوا تبعًا لرجل منهم حين قالوا: ﴿أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَا﴾ [ص: 8]، و﴿هَلۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٞ مِّثۡلُكُمۡ﴾ [الأنبياء: 3]؛ فقص عليهم تعالى قصة إبليس وإهلاكه باستكباره عن السجود لآدم بدعواه أنه خير منه. الطبري:21/239.
