According to Islam, Iblis (Satan) is not considered the most knowledgeable of creation. In fact, despite his considerable knowledge, his refusal to bow to Adam, as commanded by Allah, led to his fall from grace. Iblis was a jinn, and while he was knowledgeable and had been a devout worshiper of Allah, his arrogance and pride led him to disobey Allah's command when Allah created Adam.

The Qur'an makes it clear that Allah is the most knowledgeable of all creation. In Surah Al-Baqarah (2:31-34), Allah teaches Adam the names of all things, a knowledge that Iblis did not possess. Iblis's refusal to acknowledge the superiority of Allah's wisdom and his subsequent disobedience led to his downfall. His knowledge did not save him, as it was his pride and defiance of Allah’s will that made him fall from grace.

In Islam, knowledge is a virtue, but it must be coupled with humility and submission to Allah’s commands. Iblis, despite his knowledge, failed in this regard, which led to his punishment. The most knowledgeable in creation is Allah alone, and all other beings, including Iblis, are limited in their understanding.
