work of Allah
They have no free
will and they have
no physical desires

Angel Jibril

good news
Muhammad described him as
having 600 wings, and that each
wing filled the horizon
He was the first thing
that as given life by Allah
Allah sent him to look at paradise
and he claimed that no one
would ever stay away from it.
So Allah changed things around paradise
and hell and Jibril said that people would
go to hell because of temptations and
wouldn't be able to go to paradise
because it was so hard to get there
This created
