MALAAK

ANGELS (MALAAK)


​​​Belief in the angels is the part of faith of Islam. The Arabic word for angel is malaak. Angels were created from light.


Sayyida Aa’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:


"The Messenger of Allah (Peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘The angels are created from light, just as the jinn are created from smokeless fire and mankind is created from what you have been told about.’" (Book: Sahih Al-Muslim)


Angels do not possess free will, and worship God in total obedience. Angels' duties include communicating revelations from Allah Almighty, glorifying Allah Almighty, recording every person's actions and taking a person's soul at the time of death. They are also thought to intercede on man's behalf.

It is a city that numerous Muslim prophets called home, from Sulayman and Dawood to Isa (Jesus), may Allah be pleased with them.
