The angels
Angels are created from light, worship constantly, and execute Allah’s commands: Jibril brings revelation, Mikaeel rain and provision, Israfil the Trumpet, Malik Hell’s keeper, and Kiraman Katibin record every deed.
Belief demands loving them, affirming their duties, and living as one who is always recorded - the two scribes never miss a word.
The books
Allah revealed the Torah to Musa, the Psalms to Dawud, the Gospel to Isa, and the Quran to Muhammad (peace be upon them all). Earlier books were altered by human hands; the Quran is guarded by Allah Himself (15:9).
We affirm all revelation, follow the Quran as final law, and honour earlier prophets without following abrogated rulings.
Sources & review
