Quote:Now the angels are the subject of the verse and the exception is Iblees. But Iblees is not an anglel! Hence the word "Illa" does not necessarily include the exception (Luts wife or Iblees).
Some Shi'ite scholars do consider Iblees as one of the angels. Take a look at Al-Tabrasi's Majma'a Al-Bayan fee Tafseer Al-Qur'an:
