FAITH IN ANGELS

1. Allah has created Angels to worship Him, to carry out His commands and to be His messengers to His Prophets.

2. One of the angels is Gabriel who used to bring down Revelation to our Prophet
Muhammad 'Alayhis-Salatu was-Salamu (peace be upon him).

3. Another Angel is Michael who is in charge of rain falling.

4. A third one is the "Angel of Death" who is in charge of taking the souls of people
whose death is due.

5. Angels are but servants honored by Allah.

6. Hence we honor them and speak of them respectfully.

7. But we worship none of them, nor do we take them as Allah's sons or daughters
(as infidels claim).

8. We worship only Allah who created them in this wonderful kind of creation.
Allah (Glory be to Him) says: "And they say: The Most Gracious has begotten a
son, Glory be to Him! They are but servants raised to honor. They do not
speak before He speaks, and they act (in all things) by His command. He
knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they offer no
intercession except for those whom He accepted, and they stand in awe and
reverence of Him. If any of them should say, ‘I am a God besides Him’, such
one We should reward with Hell. Thus do We reward those who do wrong”.
[The Qur’an 21:26-29]
