[15].Surah Al-Hjir [The Rocky Tract]: Ayat 30-32

Ayat 30. So, the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together.

Ayat 31. Except Iblis (Satan), - he refused to be among the prostrators.

Ayat 32. (Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What is your reason for not being among the prostrators?"

Ayat 33. [Iblis (Satan)] said: "I am not the one to prostrate myself to a human being, whom You created from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud." 

Hazrat Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) 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).''  [Muslim Book. 42, Chapter 12, Hadith # 7134]. 

Lesson : as mentioned above in Surah Al-Hjir Ayat 33. "whom You created from sounding clay" The angels are the creation of Allah which He created from light. Their bodies are so subtle that they can assume any form they like. The jinn are also an unperceptible creation of Allah. They have also been bestowed with such powers as are not possessed by humans. Satan also belongs to the jinn. Man has been created from sounding clay. The Hadith states the Great and the Perfect Powers of Allah that He can create whatever He likes from whatever He likes, and He can do whatever He wishes.
