IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE BENEFICENT, THE MERCIFUL


Ascribing as Daughters to Allah
17.40 What! Has your Rabb preferred to give you sons and adopted angels as daughters for Himself? Certainly you are uttering a monstrous statement.

Angels and the Spirit ascent to Allah
70.4 The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a Day the measure of which is fifty thousand years.

As messengers with Wings
35.1 Praise be to Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth! Who appoint the angels having two,
three and four pairs of wings as His messengers. He adds to His creation as He pleases; for Allah has power over all things.

Believing in the Angels
2.177 Righteousness is not whether you turn your face towards East or West; but the righteousness is to believe in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Books and the Prophets, and to spend wealth out of love for Him on relatives,  orphans, helpless, needy travellers, those who ask for and on the redemption of captives; and to establish Salah (prayers), to pay Zakah (alms), to fulfill promises when made, to be steadfast in distress, in adversity, and at the time of war. These people are the truthful and these are the pious.

 

2.285 The Rasool has believed in the Guidance which has been revealed to him from his Rabb and so do the Believers. They all believe in Allah, His angels, His books and His Rasools. They say we do not discriminate against anyone of His Rasools. And they say: "We hear and we obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, O Rabb; to You we shall all return."

4.136 O believers! Believe in Allah, His Rasool, the Book which He has revealed to His Rasool, and every Book which He previously revealed. He who denies Allah, His angels, His Books, His Rasools and the Last Day has gone far astray.

Descent of

19.64 The angle Gabriel who brought this revelation after a long interval said: "We do not descend from heaven except by the command of your Rabb; to Him belongs whatever is before us and whatever is behind us and all that lies in between. Your Rabb is never forgetful.

 

Giving Female names to Angels

53: 27-29 Those who do not believe in the hereafter give the angels the female names of goddesses.

28 But they have no knowledge of it. They follow mere conjecture; and surely conjecture does not avail against the truth at all. 29 Therefore, neglect those who ignore Our warnings and seek only the life of this world.

 

Considering as Female

43:19 They regard the angels, who are themselves servants of the Compassionate, as female divinities. Did they witness their creation? They should know that their testimony shall be noted down and they shall be called to account for it.

 

Jibra’il and Mika’il

2:97-98 Say O Muhammad: "Whoever is the enemy of Jibra’el (Gabriel) should know that he revealed this Qur’an to

your heart by Allah’s command, which confirms previous scriptures, and is a guidance and good news for the believers." 98 Let them know that whoever is an enemy to Allah, His angels, His Rasools, Jibra’el (Gabriel) and Mika’el

(Michael); Allah is an enemy to such unbelievers.

 

Taking as lords and patrons

3: 80 He would never ask you to take angels and prophets as your lords. Would he ask you to become kafir (unbelievers) after you have become Muslims (believers)?

 

 

Not sent, except for a just cause

15:6 They say: "O you to whom the reminder (The Qur’an) is being revealed! You are surely insane. 7 Why don’t you bring us the angels, if you are of the truthful ones?"  8 O Muhammad, tell them: "We do not send down the angels except for just cause (to execute Our scourge), and when they come, people are not given respite.

 

On errands of justice and mercy

79:1 By those angels who violently pull out the souls of the wrongdoers, 2 and those who gently draw out the souls of

the righteous, 3 and those who glide about swiftly through space,  4 then speed headlong to carry out the commands of Allah, 5and those who regulate the affairs of the world!

 

On the Day of Judgement

25:25 On that Day when the heavens shall burst asunder with clouds and the angels will be sent down ranks after ranks,  26 the real Kingdom on that Day will belong only to the Compassionate (Allah), a hard Day shall it be for the unbelievers.

 

Pray for forgiveness for all on earth

42:5 The heavens might have almost broken apart from above those who are elevating Allah’s creatures to His rank, if the angels would have not been glorifying their Rabb with His praise and begging forgiveness for those on earth. Behold! Surely it is Allah Who is the oft-Forgiving, most Merciful.

 

 

Recording Angels

50:17 Besides this direct knowledge, We have assigned to every one two scribes (guardian angels), the one seated on his right and the other on his left, 18 not a single word does he utter but there is a vigilant guardian ready to note it down.

 

Sent for warning to men

16:2 He sends down His angels with inspiration of His Command to whom He pleases of His servants, saying: "Warn the people that there is no one else worthy of worship except Me, therefore fear Me."

 

 

The impious and the angels

25:21 Those who do not expect to meet Us on the Day of Judgement say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us or why do we not see our Rabb?" Certainly they are too proud of themselves, and have revolted in a great revolt.

 

 

To protect men

82:10 You should know that guardian angels have indeed been appointed over you,  11 who are noble writers,  12 they know all that you do.

 

 

Worshiping

34:40 One Day He will gather them all together and ask the angels: "Was it you that these people used to worship?"  41 They will respond: "Glory be to You! Our tie is with You – as a protector – not with them; but they used to worship the jinns and it was them in whom most of these people believed." 42 On that Day you will be helpless to profit or harm one another. To the wrongdoers We shall say: "Taste the punishment of the fire which you persistently denied."

By the time through the ages!
Surely mankind is in loss,
Except those who believe and do good deeds;
Exhort one another to the truth
And exhort one another to patience.
Surah 103
