THE ANGELS (MALA’IKAH)


Q.   Who are angels?
*  Angels are the creation of Al-lah. They are made of light (NUR). They are invisible to us. They are neither male nor female. They do not disobey Al-lah and do not commit acts of sin. They are always busy doing the tasks that Al-lah has assigned to them.

Q.   How many angels are there?
*  No one except Al-lah knows the exact number of the angels. We however know this much that the number of the angels is very large and that four of them are very well renowned and close to Al-lah.

Q.   Who are those well renowned angels nearest to Al-lah?
*  The first one is Hadrat Jibril (Gabriel) who brought Al-lah’s messages, Scriptures and Commands to the prophets. The second is Hadrat Israfil who shall blow the trumpet on the Day of Judgement. The third is Hadrat Mika’il who is appointed to manage the rains and deliver livelihood to Al-lah’s creatures. The fourth is Hadrat Izra’il, appointed to take out the souls of Al-lah’s creatures.
