Angels
Allah created humans from clay, jinn from smokeless fire and angels from light. Humans and jinn have the ability to choose between good and bad. Sometimes they choose good things, but sometimes they choose to disobey Allah. But angels are not like humans and jinn. Angels obey Allah in whatever He tells them. They never disobey Allah in anything. Allah created them only with the ability to obey Him.
Angels are not male or female; that means they are not men and women.
