What is the difference between Satan, Iblis, and Jinn, and how do they know what we are going to do and then distract us from it, and how do they control our dreams?

Iblis is the greatest devil (Shaytan) who disobeyed Allah's command to prostrate to Adam. He has offspring and progeny. Satan does not know the unseen, but he is an enemy to man, flowing through him like blood. He places his snout on one's heart to whisper to him and distract him from worship. However, he does not control man; he weakens and withdraws at the mention of Allah and becomes active during heedlessness. Therefore, a Muslim must adhere to the remembrance of Allah for protection from his whispers.
