....There
are also some angels who were appointed to aid Muslim armies who
had no aim other than to spread the word of Islam.
....The Recorders: There are
two angels who accompany us, one on the right who records good
deeds, and the one on the left who records evil deeds.
....Munkar and Nakeer are
the two angels in charge of questioning people in their graves
about their faith.
....In addition, there are some angels
who protect us from evil, inspire goodness in our hearts, and
guard the fetus in the uterus by Allah's command.
....Why cannot we see the angels,
although we are surrounded by them?
....Allah Almighty has given anatomical
capabilities (i.e hearing, smell, taste, strength, and other faculties)
to all His creatures in the necessary amounts to make sure that
they can adapt to the conditions of the environment. No creature
has limitless external senses; only Allah Almighty has such infinity
and eternity.
....Moreover, universal things are
presented in the particular. Since we are from this materialistic
world, all our external senses are subject to the rule of cause
and effect and we do not have the capability to see our souls
that constitute our essence and our real personality, and the
angels that are non-material beings.
....Let us remember a fact that is
very important. Belief in the angels is second pillar of faith
in Islam; it follows believing in Allah. This transitory world
is a realm of testing and our faith is faith in the unseen.
