The Malaaikah (Angels) of Allah (S.W.T)

1. Angels are the creationof Allah Ta'ala, made from "Noor" (Light).
2. Angels are "Masoom" (sinless). They are purefrom all types of small
and large sins.
3. Malaa'ikah are obedient servants of Allah Ta'ala. They do what
Allah Ta'ala commands them.
4. They are countless in number. Only Allah Ta'ala knows how many
Angels there are.Allah Ta'ala has also shown their exact numbers to
his special servants like the Ambiya (Prophets) and Awliya (Saints).
5. Angels are neither male nor female.
6. They have been given the strength by Allah Ta'ala to turn into
whatever shape or form they wish, whether it be of a human or of
another creation.
7. Allah Ta'ala has given the Malaa'ikah many types of duties: some
Angels have a fixed duty of taking out the soul, some to give
rain,some have been given the task to create the face of a child in
the mother's womb, some to write the deeds of an individual, writing
our daily actions, attending Islamic functions like Zikr,
Moulood-un-Nabi (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) , Urs Shareef, sending
Durood and Salaams upon our Nabi Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi
wasallam) , and taking our Durood and Salaams tohim. Some are in the
constant position of Sajdah, Ruku, and Qiyaam and are busy remembering
AlmightyAllah Ta'ala all the time, etc.
8. There is a river in Heaven wherein whenever Jibraeel (alaihis
salaam) submerges his wings and shakes it, small droplets of water
drip from it. From each droplet, an Angel is created. Indeed, one
cannot estimate the droplets of water that drip from the wings of
Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) . Why? Simply, because Hazrat
Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) has 600 wings and each wing is so huge that
when it spreads out, it casts a shadow over the entire sky.
9. Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) is the Leader of the Angels.
10. The names of the fourfamous Angels are: Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis
salaam), Hazrat Mikaaeel (alaihis salaam), Hazrat Izraeel (alaihis
salaam), and Hazrat Israfeel (alaihis salaam).
11. The names of a few more Angels are: Kiraaman Khaatibeen,Munkar and
Nakeer, Ridwaan and Maalik.
12. To believe that the Malaa'ikah as "Kadeem" (always have been in
existence or always will be in existence) or to believe them as the
creators is Kufr.
13. The slightest form of insult for an Angel is also Kufr.
14. Some people call their enemies or oppressors as "the Angel of
death". To say such things is not allowed and close to Kufr
(infidelity).
15. To reject the existence of Angels orto say that the strength of
all good isknown as Angels and that there are no suchthings as Angels
are both acts of Kufr.
