Q: Allah created Adam from clay, and He created the angels before him. Iblis was among the angels, and he was created from fire. Why did He create him from fire? And from what did Allah create the angels?
A: It is established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said:Sahih Muslim 2996 (meaning from clay). Muslim narrated it in his Sahih.
As for the wisdom behind that, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) knows it best. He is the Wise, the All-Knowing in everything He creates and legislates. There is no one who can turn back His decree, and no one who can repel His judgment. And He is capable of all things.
