What is the ruling on one who says: The Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was created from light and is not human?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
This statement has no basis. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was a human being, whom Allah created from the progeny of Adam, and he was not created from light. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, informed us that angels were created from light, jinn were created from fire, and Adam was created from dust. And Allah knows best.
