What does belief in the angels mean?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Belief in angels entails four matters: Acknowledging their existence and that they are a creation of Allah, obedient to His command; believing in the names of those whose names we know (such as Jibril and Mika’il); believing in the descriptions of those whose descriptions we know (such as Jibril, who has six hundred wings); and believing in the actions of those whose actions we know (such as Jibril, entrusted with revelation, and Mika’il, entrusted with rain). This also includes our belief that every person has two angels who record their deeds.
