| Angels |
Angels are beings that, according
to Muslim concept, are there to perform worship of the Almighty Allah. These
angels are very important in reference to the faith completion for a Muslim.
The Holy Quran mentions that the
angels are made up of light and that they have no cognitive ability. Their only
purpose is to do what the Almighty asks them to do. Muslims all around the
world have rigid belief in the composition and the existence of angels, so if anyone
tries to follow the pagan concept or influence that upon Muslims, that would be
a step that will be ineffective.
Allah almighty mentions Angels in
the Holy Quran As the following:
"Behold thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said "Wilt thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood? Whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not."(Surah Al-Baqarah)
This verse defines that the
angels do exists and that they can be communicated with, and that they perform
the worship of Almighty Allah.
"They followed what the evil ones gave out (falsely) against the power of Solomon; the blasphemers were not Solomon but the evil ones, teaching men magic and such things as came down at Babylon to the angels Harut, and Marut. But neither of these taught anyone (such things) without saying: "We are only for trial; so do not blaspheme." They learned from them the means to sow discord between man and wife. But they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's permission. And they learned what harmed them not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did sell their souls, if they but knew!" (Surah Al-Baqara) Quran Reading
The verse from the Holy Quran
mentioned above highlighted the fact that magic and pagan ways of intervening
supernatural areas is a reality and is completely practical, however, all of
this is not possible if Allah does not wish it so. It happens to test the faith
of the believers and that of mankind towards one true GOD, which is Allah
Almighty alone.
The link between the angels and
the magical existence almost goes synonymous. Other mythical creatures are an
unreal extension of the concept. The concept of angels remains the same, if not
tampered, in the Christian faith and the Jewish faith since these are the
religions that signify one GOD too. One more verse here will define another
misconception that pagans try to inject us with, is that angels can determine
what is wrong and what is right and might defy the Almighty Allah.
"He is the Irresistible (watching) from above over his worshippers, and He sets guardians over you. At length, when death approaches one of you, Our angels take his soul, and they never fail in their duty." (Surah Al-Anaam)
As it says, Angels never fail to
perform their duty, this is how they are and this is how they will be, no
matter how inspirational they may be, but a misconception about angels can
directly infuse a faulty conjunction in the faith of a Muslim. TheQuran Reading
