The Angles in Islamic Religion

The Angles in Islamic Religion

The Angles 

                        Need  for contact between man and creator

God is invisible and beyond all physical perception, so it was necessary to have some means of contact between man and God: otherwise, it would not be possible to follow the Divine will.

As God is the creator not only of our bodies but also of all our souls. As the human spirit is capable of both good and evil inspiration is possible that good people receive sometimes_evil inspirations and bad people good inspiration.

Among the common folk, it is possible that good people receive sometimes -evil inspiration (temptations) and bad people good inspirations.inspirations may come from someone other than God, which enables our reason to distinguish between that which is celestial and worthy of following, and that is diabolic and fit to be shunned.

                           how this contact can be possible?

There are several ways of establishing contact or communication between man and God.

The best would have been incarnation: but Islam has rejected it. It would be too degrading for a transcendent God to become a man, to eat, drink, be tortured by his own creatures, and even be put to death.

So the Question arises that than what would be the way of communication and what the source must be?

                             Why Angels have been created?

To convey the necessary message of God to human beings, God created a middle creation which is neither human being, nor it has some association with God's vital powers.

And these are called angels.

God sent his revelations to human beings via his selected people called prophets through the correspondence of  a special creation calls angels

The highest degree of contact the surest and the most infallible means of communication between a man his creator is called wahy by Prophet Muhammad.

And this wahy was brought up via the correspondence of angles.

Angels are also recorder (Kiraman Katibin)
