Who is Satan

If Satan is made up of fire, how will he be punished in hell where there will be only fire everywhere?  It is quite interesting to note that such creatures need cold places to punished.
Satan is supposed to be made of fire
Satan is the most discussed topic of all. No one actually knows as to who Satan is or was, But it is understood that it is some being who directs or misdirects us in one way or the other. This is a simple question? It is mostly unexplained. People and especially religious people often give mostly their commentaries about Satan. Their ideas are mainly based nonfactual mythologies giving embodiment of this supernatural being.

In dictionaries you can find the meanings of Satan like this::
the chief evil spirit; the great adversary of humanity; the devil.
In Abrahamic religions, a powerful spiritual being, the tempter and persecutor of humanity, sometimes considered as an angel who rebelled against God and became the Devil. 

Satan in Islam:
The idea which we get from Islam is that the Satan was a "Jinn" which created from fire as all Jinns were created from fire.  Angels were and still are created from light. Angels are programmed for goodness and they do not commit any sin.. The name given to Satan in Holy Qur'an was Iblis:Later on, Iblis became Satan:  "Behold! We said to the Angels, 'Bow down to Adam': they bowed down except Iblis.  He was One of the Jinns, and he broke the Command of his Lord....(The Quran, 18:50)" Iblis was a Jinn who was raised and lived with the Angels.  He is a powerful Jinn, and Allah Almighty loved him so much that He treated him like an Angel, until Iblis broke Allah Almighty's Commands and turned into Satan and was expelled with disgrace from the Group of the Angels and from Paradise.
 
Actually there is no Satan and there is embodiment. According to my idea and whatever I have researched it itself is the important part of human mind. There are two forces in human mind - human emotions  One kind of emotions is positive and the other kind of emotions is negative.This negative emotion is Satan. The words Satan and Iblis are the two sides of of the same coin.. If human emotional forces are uncontrollable they tend to create chaos in the society by killing others, by robbing others, by hurting others, by pulling the legs others, by turning to hypocrisy.

It means everyone of us has Satan within him or her. If we want to a live a smooth life, we have to kill or at least subdue the Satan living within us so as to get rid of the evil desires and the evil deeds.
