EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the origin of three important creations in Islam; Angels, Jinns and Adam. According to this hadith, angels were created from light, jinns were created from a smokeless flame of fire and Adam was created from sounding clay like the clay used for pottery. This hadith is an example of how Allah has given us knowledge about His creations which we can use to understand more about our faith. It also teaches us that all creatures are different in their creation but they are all equal in their rights as Muslims before Allah. Furthermore, it shows us that even though we may not be able to see or understand everything around us, Allah knows best what He has created for each one of us and He will always provide for our needs if we trust Him completely.
