Introduction
Throughout our lives, there are moments when we feel protected, inspired, or guided in ways beyond our understanding.
As Muslims, we believe that everything is by Allahโs command, and often, these moments involve the unseen help of Angels โ the pure creations of Allah.
This article explores the Islamic understanding of Angels and how their roles reflect the beautiful signs of Allahโs mercy and care in our lives.
Angels in Islam: A Pillar of Faith
Belief in Angels (Malaโika) is a foundational part of Islam, included in the Six Pillars of Faith (Arkaan ul Imaan).
Allah mentions Angels numerous times in the Quran, describing them as:
- Created from light
- Always obedient to Allahโs commands
- Neither male nor female, without human desires
- Invisible to human eyes except by Allahโs permission
โ Key Quranic Verse:
โThey (the angels) do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.โ
(Surah At-Tahrim, 66:6)
Roles of Angels in Our Lives
Islam teaches that Angels are assigned various peaceful roles:
๐ฟ Protectors:
Every human has assigned guardian angels (Muโaqqibat) who protect them by Allahโs command.
๐ฟ Messengers:
Gabriel (Jibreel ุนููู ุงูุณูุงู
) delivered divine revelations to the Prophets.
๐ฟ Recorders:
Kiraman Katibin โ Noble scribes record every deed, good and bad, without error.
๐ฟ Bringers of Mercy:
Angels pray for the believers, especially when they seek knowledge or gather to remember Allah.
Recognizing Signs from Allah
While Angels work in the unseen, sometimes their actions lead to signs we feel in life:
- A sudden escape from danger
- A heart moved towards goodness
- Dreams of light, tranquility, or guidance
- Finding peace in times of hardship
- Unseen ease during times of difficulty
๐ Important:
These signs are from Allahโs mercy, not from the Angels themselves. Angels simply execute Allahโs commands faithfully.
โ Everything is by the Will of Allah (InshaAllah).
Misunderstandings to Avoid
Islam strictly teaches that:
- Angels are servants of Allah, not objects of worship.
- We must not seek to communicate or call upon Angels directly.
- True guidance comes only through Quran, Sunnah, and prayer to Allah alone.
โ Signs should inspire us to be grateful and increase in Tawheed (belief in Allahโs Oneness).
Final Reflection
Signs of mercy, protection, and hope often surround us โ even if we do not see the Angels themselves.
Reflect deeply whenever goodness, protection, or guidance comes into your life,
and remember:
โIndeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.โ
(Surah An-Nahl, 16:128)
๐ Angels are among Allahโs countless mercies, silently supporting us by His command.
