Riyad as-Salihin, 1846
'Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Angels were created from light, jinns were created from a smokeless flame of fire, and 'Adam was created from that which you have been told (i.e., sounding clay like the clay of pottery)." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم :
خلقت الملائكة من نور، وخلق الجان من مارج من نار، وخلق آدم مما وصف لكم
((رواه مسلم)).

2) People have different natural dispositions, depending on the soil of the earth. Yet, the believer disciplines himself and refines his morals through faith and good deeds. To this end, he observes the religious commands and prohibitions, which in turn, purifies his soul.<br>
