2) The Belief in Angels

The Belief in Angels is the faith and the certain dogma that there exist angels whom Allah created out of light, and He assigned to them some deeds to perform. On the other hand He gifted them the tendency to obey Him completely and the enough power to do that.
Angels are members of an unseen world created to worship their Lord; however, they have no divine nature or divine property at all. In fact, Allah has created them and gifted them the complete submission to His command with the complete ability to execute, Allah I said, "TawhidTo Him belong all (creatures) in the heavens and on earth: even those who are in His (very) Presence are not too proud to serve Him, Nor are they (ever) weary (of His service): They celebrate His praises night and day, nor do they ever flag or intermit."

There are so many angels to the extent that no body can count them a full counting except Allah. It was reported in the Sahihain (Bukhari and Muslim two sound books) that Anas narrated that the Al-Bait Al-Ma'mur was raised up to the Prophet and Seventy thousand angels enter into it daily and, after they come out, they never return again.

And the belief in Angels includes four aspects:

  1. First: the belief in their existence.
  2. Second: the belief in whom we were informed of their names, like: Jibril (Gabriel), and in whom we were not informed by their names, we believe in them on the whole.
  3. Third: the belief in what we were informed about their qualifications, as those of Jibril (Gabriel), for the Prophet told us that he saw him in the shape Allah created him at, and he had six hundred wings.
  4. Fourth: the belief in what we were informed about their deeds that Allah orders them to do, such as glorifying His praises night and day, and never become bored or slacken.

Furthermore, some of them may have specific deeds such as Jibril (Gabriel) the trustworthy, whom Allah sends to Prophets and Messengers.
And such as Mickael (Michael) who is responsible for rain and plants.
And such as Israfil who is responsible for blowing in the Trumpet at the time when the Hour breaks out, and the creatures are Sent to the Doom.
And such as The Angel of Death who is responsible for take life from people at time of death.
And such as Malik who is responsible for Hell, and he is its treasurer.
And such as those who are responsible for the embryo in the uterus; when it is four months old in its mother’s womb, Allah sends an angel to write down his earnings, his moment of death, his work, and whether he would be wretched or blessed.
And such as those who are assigned to preserve people.
And such as those who are assigned to write down people’s deeds each person at his own; two of them do that, one to the right side and another one to the left side.
And such as those who are assigned to ask the dead after he is put in his grave about his Lord, his Religion, and his Prophet.

The belief in Angels brings forth to the believer so many significant benefits, like:

  1. First: to be acquainted about the Greatness of Allah and His Strength and Authority, this is because the greatness of the creature receals clearly the Greatness of the Creator.
  2. Second: performing thanks to Allah who cares for people to an extent that He assigned to all of these Angels the mission of preserving them and writing down their deeds and so many other beneficial missions.
  3. Third: loving those Angels for the worship they perform to Allah.

However, some of those deviated people have denied the fact that Angels are real bodies, but rather they claimed that they are just the unseen power of good in creatures. As a matter of fact, this is refutation for the Book of Allah (Quran) and the Prophet’s Sunnah and the consensus of Muslim Nation.

Allah I said, " TawhidAll Praise be to Allah, Who created (out of nothing) the heavens and the earth, Who made the Angels messengers with wings, two, or three, or four (pairs)."

The Jinn

The world of jinn is an unseen world; they were created from fire before man was created, for Allah I said, "TawhidWe created man from sounding clay, from mud molded into shape; And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind."

The jinn are assigned to execute the orders of Allah and resign from doing from what he prohibited. However, some of them are believers and some of them are not. Some of them are pious but others are not. Allah has said, "TawhidAmongst us are some that submit their wills (to Allah), and some that swerve from justice. Now those who submit their wills; they have sought out (the path) of right conduct. But those who swerve, they are (but) fuel for Hell-fire", and He said, "TawhidThere are among us some that are righteous, and some the contrary: we follow divergent paths." Very similar to the situation amongst mankind, the disbeliever surely enters the Hell Fire, and the believer enters Paradise as those of man do. Allah I said,"TawhidBut for such as fear the time when they will stand before (the Judgment Seat of) their Lord, there will be two Paradises, Then which of the favours of your Lord, will you (both) deny?."

Moreover, Allah prohibited injustice amongst mankind and jinn, for Allah said in the Qudsi Hadith: “O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.” However, they sometimes impinge upon humans, and humans impinge upon them as well.

An example of the assault that humans commit against jinn is wiping themselves (their anuses after answering the call of nature) with dung or with bones. Muslim reported that Ibn Mass’oud said informed about the jinn asked the Prophet for food, then he said, “Every bone on which the name of Allah is recited is your provision. The time it falls in your hand it shall be covered with flesh, and the dung of (the camels) is fodder for your animals”. And then he said [to his companions], “Don't perform Istinja’ (wiping anus after answering the call of nature) with these (things) for these are the food of your brothers (Jinn).

And some of the assault committed by jinn against humans:

  • They prevail over them by whispering into their hearts.
  • The frighten some people and try to prevail over them by fear, especially when these humans call them for help, for Allah I said, "TawhidTrue, there were persons among mankind who took shelter with persons among the Jinn, but they increased them in folly."
  • The jinn overthrow humans and knock them down.

In fact epilepsy (a disease which overthrow man unconscious) is classified into two types:

  • Epilepsy because of the jinn.
  • Epilepsy because of a physical disease.
