Angels
By Monazza Awan
They are light. Literally. As God’s esteemed creations, they exist only and only to carry out His command. They do not have free will. They can do no wrong. This is the Islamic belief on these most impressive of God’s creations. Belief in the existence of angels is one of the six articles of faith for Muslims. In addition to having faith in God, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day and Predestination as an action of God, Muslims must also believe in Angels.
The world of angels is both fascinating and mysterious. Real and sublime. They are made of light and, consistent with mythical belief, in fact do have wings that can range into the thousands in number. Their wings are strong and can span vast horizons.

"Praise be to God, Who created (out of nothing) the heavens and the earth, who made the angel messengers with wings - two, or three, or four (pairs) and adds to Creation as He pleases: for God has power over all things." (Surah Fatir, 35-1)

Angels can take on different forms. The archangel Jibrail, also known as Gabriel, appeared to Prophet Muhammad PBUH often times in the form of a man when revealing the holy Koran. Likewise, in the form of a man, Jibrail appeared to Maryam to announce that she will have a virgin birth.

There are many angels of God. Some of the more notable ones in the Koran are Jibrail, Mikail, Azrael, Israfil, Maalik, Harut and Marut. Each is distinct. Each is assigned unique responsibility.

"Everything in the heavens and every creature on earth prostrates to Allah, as do the angels. They are not puffed up with pride. They fear their Lord above them and do everything they are ordered to do." (Surat an-Nahl, 49-50)

“The angels descend on those who say, 'Our Lord is Allah,' and then go straight. 'Do not fear and do not grieve but rejoice in the Garden you have been promised. We are your protectors in the life of this world and the hereafter. You will have there all that yourselves could wish for. You will have there everything you demand. Hospitality from the One who is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'” (Surah Fussilat, 30-32)
Angels are magnificent. Pure. Inspirational. Light.
