re: Evil Vs Divine Existence? Does belief in one mean the existence of other?
I see all questioning parties are questioning along the same lines. So, answers may overlap, I will try to present my views though.
Then why god created shaitan, and if it was an angel who didn't listen to his commands why not jail him in the hell, god can do anything he wishes, his intelligence is infinite unlike us, but he still gives chances to shaitan to play with human character, most important thing that makes me thing, why god made wine and weed when he despise intoxication at the first place and made human sense so weak against such things?
Why God created Shaitan?
God did not. He created a Jinn called Azazil, who was so pious that he was included in the company of Angels. Difference between Angels and Jinns, and humans for that matter, is that angels do not follow their desire and are not given freedom to choose, whereas Jinns and Humans are. So, Azazil chose to disobey the command of God (most of which us humans do all our lives) and did not bow down in front of Adam. So Azazil created a Shaitan from his ownself. God did not. However, God did not control him and made him obey. He let Shaitan choose his own destiny because he was given freedom to choose. And he did it knowingly.
*and if it was an angel who didn't listen to his commands why not jail him in the hell, god can do anything he wishes, his intelligence is infinite unlike us, but he still gives chances to shaitan to play with human character. Why?

Because God initially said to him to get lost but then, Shaitan himself asked him about it and God granted his wish but for a purpose (references from Quran can be provided if needed where full conversation between God and Shiatan is quoted). God said that Shaitan will not have powers over humans to make them do what he wishes. The only power given to Shaitan was the power of suggestion. We were given the sense of right and wrong. Much like when we seek help in some matter, we ask for suggestions to each other but we "choose" what we find the "best" suggestion. If sense of right and wrong is given, then, a person who wants to do good will not be affected by the suggestion of Shaitan. And why did God allow it? well the answer will also cover the next question.
most important thing that makes me thing, why god made wine and weed when he despise intoxication at the first place and made human sense so weak against such things?
God did not create wine, Human Beings did from the resources God created :D
Anyway, the point is. Shaitan, wine, weed, all bad things etc. are with us for many purposes. The main purpose is of course, the test of us. If we were not to be tested, then, concept of Paradise and Hell will be pointless. Another small purpose is so that we can identify between good and bad and refrain from bad. And your argument that we are weak against wine and weed is absolutely non-sensical. We choose delibrately to indulge in using them knowing that they are harmful. But millions of people don't drink liquor and don't do drugs. Are they more strong?
lkk, so who created shaitaan? and who made his behavior bad?
God did not, in both cases. It was Shaitan's own choice to become a Shaitan and disobey but God did not make him do it.
without the will of god? how is that possible. are jinns the masters of their own destiny?
Will of God does not make one good or bad. If one want to be good, God's Will will never make him bad ever. That is the main point to understand. But if someone wants to be bad knowingly and purposefully of choice which understanding the circumstances, God may or may not allow him to be bad. In Shaitan's case he did because there was no chance of good left in him because of his own attitude.
point is, iblees etc are god's creations too.
if i write a piece of code that crashes my hard drive, am i not responsible for it?
but Shaitan is not crashing any hard drive. Wrong example pal. Shaitan is still within the grand scheme of God. He can not make anyone do bad. He only whispers. We choose the right and wrong. If anything, we are the piece of code crashing the hard drive, if in fact, hard drive is being crashes as you suggested.
if I want a user not to click a button would i rather not allow him to do so than telling him not to do and expect him to follow?
Then, why not just enter everyone in paradise & get rid of Hell?
