Angels Of Allah(SWT)

Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim

Angels ' The Mala ikah'

Angels are a special creation of Allah(SWT). They have been created from light(Nur) to perform specific duties. Angels have been given the qualities and powers necessary to carry out their duties, but they do not have free will. They always obey Allah(SWT) and can never disobey Him. Man, on the other hand, has been given free will to choose between right and wrong. This is why man will have to account for his actions on the Day of Judgement. 

Angels are the sinless servants of Allah's will. They help men in the use of free will. Man decides what to do and the Angels help him carry out the decision. The duty of Angels is to glorify and praise Allah. They are incapable of disobeying Allah's order.They never get tired. They do not need sleep and they do not require worldly things that a human being would need. 

Angels are a type of creatures who cannot be usually seen by man unless they appear in human form. Angels can take any suitable appearance to carry out their duties.

There are many Angels in the Kingdom of Allah(SWT). Prominent among them are:

Jibra'il or Jibril (Gabriel) : Conveys the message of Allah to the prophets and to certain others.

Mika'il or Mikal (Michael) : Controls the rain.

Izra'il or Malakul Mawt (Azrail) : Also called as 'Angel of Death'. Who is supposed to remove the life from the living at the time of their death.

Isra'fil : In charge of the trumpet which will be blown on the last day and at the time of the resurrection.

Some Angels are busy recording all that we do and they are:

Munkar and Nakir: Their duty is to question the man after death about their actions while they were alive.

Raqib and Atid: Raqib records the virtuous actions and Atid records the vices of men when they were alive.

Ridhwan: Looking after the paradise and taking care of the people in it.

Malik: Looks after the implementing the punishment to the wrong deeds at the hell.

The above names of the Angels and their duties should be known to every Muslim.There are a number of different types of duties carried out by the Angels according to the orders from Allah(SWT).

Bismillah Hirrahman Nirrahim  Adam Alaihissalam (Adam) Allah(SWT) created Adam from clay and gave him the best of forms. He then commanded the Angels and Jinns to prostrate before Adam. The Angels obeyed but Iblis, who was one of the Jinn Refused to do so. Allah(SWT) asked, 'What prevented you from prostrating before that I have created?'. Iblis replied, I am better than him. You have created me from fire but him from clay.  His pride led him to disobey Allah(SWT). Allah(SWT) Asked him to get out of here you are an outcast. My curse is on you till the day of judgement. Then Iblis vowed to misguide Adam and his children. Allah(SWT) then asked Adam to live in Al Jannah. He had everything to enjoy but he was alone. So Allah created Hawwa (Eve). Adam and his wife were placed in a spiritual garden of innocence and bliss. But it was God's plan to give him a limited facility of choice. Allah said to Adam, not to go near that tree. This was intend to test and teac...
