Imaan Or Belief In Angels In Islam Imaan (faith) is to proclaim the Kalmah (princi ple) with the tongue and confirm its truth with the heart. In the Kalmah one has to bear or witness to the truth. By proclaiming the Kalmah one completely believes in the following Articles of Faith:


Existence and Attributes of ALLAH Almighty Destiny or Measure (Taqdeer) Angels (farishtay) Prophets Revealed Books The life Hereafter Imaan is the basis of acts of worship (ibadah) and righteous deeds in Islam. In reciting and understanding the Holy Quran, a Muslim man or a woman is seeking the reality. Muslims utter Islam is the religion of Truth and reality. As defined above our Imaan (faith) is confirmation of the truths and not blind beliefs. There are many religions whose followers believe the idols to be gods or Jesus to be Son of God. There are people who worship fire or natural entities or forces. There are people who even worship Shaitan. One can have faith or belief in anything. So what is the difference between a Muslim and a nonMuslim? As pointed out before, the-Muslim's Imaan is confirmation of the truth.


Belief in the Angels (farishtay) From the Holy Quran we know that human beings are made from clay and the Jins are made of smokeless fire. All life on earth is made of water and Carbon. Living things on earth require energy for their activities. Several of these activities are chemical reactions, which require a supply of energy. This supply of energy comes from the foods that we eat, specially the sugars. Fat is also a basis of (stored) energy. Man is superior to the angels because it has a two-dimensional nature. First of all, he is endowed with an immortal strength, which is breathed into him by ALLAH Almighty. Secondly, he is endowed with the sense of reason and an independent will of his own (free will). Muslims and scientists are seekers of the fact and truth is the similar in either domain. Angels can be interpreted as Messengers of ALLAH’S Will, and may have a little or numerous errands entrusted to them. The 4 angels can be explained in terms of the 4 forces that exist in nature. These 4 obey the laws of ALLAH Almighty incessantly without any mistake, without any kind of disobedience. Angels (farishtay) were created from light before human beings were created, and therefore their graphic or symbolic representation in Islamic art is uncommon. However, they are usually beautiful and attractive beings with wings as described in Muslim scripture.


Verse 21:20 of Holy Quran; They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken. Verse 32:11 of Holy Quran; Say, "The angel of death will take you who has been entrusted with you. Then to your Lord you will be returned." Flightstoumrah.co.uk is one of the authorized Hajj and Umrah travel agent based in UK offers a range of Saudi Umrah Visa from UK.
