Does the Hadith: "Woe to this wind! This is the wind of a man from the people of Illiyin. He will emerge and travel through his dominion, and no tent of the tents of Paradise will remain but he will enter it with the light of his face, and they will rejoice at his scent," indicate that the people of Paradise were created from light?

Allah created Adam and mankind from dust, and the angels from light. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will re-create mankind from the earth, just as He originated them from it, and the substance of creation is dust. The light that appears on the people of Paradise is not evidence that they were created from light; rather, it is light and honor bestowed upon them by Allah Almighty due to their deeds. They will enjoy an increase in strength, beauty, and handsomeness, and their life in Paradise will be different from their life in this world.
