Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Angels are independent beings, and belief in them is one of the six pillars of faith. Allah has described them as honored servants who do not disobey Allah in what He commands them and do what they are ordered. They were created from light and have wings, and some of them are entrusted with managing certain affairs in the heavens and on earth.
