5a] Could you give us some information about the angels?

5a]
“O you who believe! Wardoff yourselves and your families against a Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and) severe”
[al-Tahreem 66:6 – interpretation of the meaning]
Among them are some who strive in jihaad with the believers:
“(Remember) when your Lord revealed to the angels, ‘Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingersand toes’”
[al-Anfaal 8:12 – interpretation of the meaning]
On Laylat al-Qadr in the month of Ramadaan, the angels come down to witness goodness with the Muslims, as Allaah says (interpretation of themeaning):
“The Night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allaah in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months).
Therein descend the angels and the Rooh [Jibreel (Gabriel)] by Allaah’s Permission with all Decrees”
[al-Qadr 97:3-4]
The angels do not enter a house in which there is a statue, picture (image) or a dog. The Prophet (peaceand blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image.” (Narrated by Muslim, 2106).
Belief in the angels is one of the pillars of faith, and whoever denies it is a kaafir:
“and whosoever disbelieves in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Last Day, then indeed he has strayed far away[al-Nisaa’4:136 – interpretation of the meaning]
