Angels in Islam (19) the Angels’ number is countless

Do you know the Angels?

What are the Angels?

How many Angels has Allah created; what is their number?

—————————————–

Do you know the Angels?

Allah has created things of which you have no knowledge (the verse 16:8)

What are the Angels?

They are the hosts of the heavens and the servants of Allah (the verse 48:7)

Who has created the Angels?

Allah who is ever Mighty in His kingdom and Wise in His actions (the verse 48:7)

 

How many Angels has Allah created; what is their number?

He increases the creation as He wills (the verse 35:1)

 

Certainly, Muslims have no knowledge of precisely when the Angels were created, because there is no verse in the Quran to tell us this.

However, Muslims do know for sure that they were created before Mankind.

Also, Muslims know for certain that the number of Angels is much more than the number of human beings.

The Angels are many, and their number is known only to Allah who created them.

The Prophet Muhammad said, describing the Much-Frequented Visited House that is present in the heaven:

“Then I was taken up to the Much-Frequented Visited House: every day seventy thousand Angels visit it and leave, never returning to it again, another [group] coming after them.”

The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, said: ‘Hell will be brought forth that day (the Last Day) by means of seventy thousand ropes, each of which will be pulled by seventy thousand Angels.”

Angels are the most numerous kind of creation of Allah. There are more Angels than the other creations of Allah, including the humans and jinn–even the trees.

Also, the Prophet Muhammad said:

There is no space equivalent to the width of four fingers in the sky except one would find an Angel mentioning (worshipping) Allah–either standing, bowing or prostrating. They stay as such worshipping Allah until the Day of Judgment.

There are countless numbers of Angels, and only Allah knows how many there are.

Chapter 6 of the Quran (62) the Genuine Torah

Who does greater evil than he who invents falsehoods against Allah by changing his words by either deleting or adding words?  An example is the removal of the Day of Judgment, the Eternal Paradise and the Afterlife and the traits and description of the Last Prophet Muhammad from the genuine Torah.

——————————————-

It is well known that has revealed the genuine Torah revealed unto the Prophet Moses.

The True Torah was a book of guidance for the Jews to show them the straight path that they have to follow in order to succeed on the Day of Judgment and to win the Eternal Paradise in the Afterlife.

In addition, the True Torah mentioned in full details the entire traits and description of the Last Prophet Muhammad.

That is why many Jewish rabbis like Abdullah ben Salam, who was one of the top rabbis, embraced Islam.

However, the True Torah has been changed and the Day of Judgment, the Eternal Paradise and the Afterlife are deleted from it and are not found in the today Torah. Also, the entire traits and description of the Last Prophet Muhammad.are deleted too and are written in symbolic forms that are not easily understood.

 .

In Ayah 6:93, Allah is warning those who change his Word like those who changed the True Torah; it says:

 

And who does greater evil than he who invents falsehoods against Allah by changing his words by either deleting or adding words, that is by deleting Allah’s words e.g. by deleting the Day of Judgment, the Eternal Paradise and the Afterlife and the traits and description of the Last Prophet Muhammad from the genuine Torah.

The expression: who does greater evil than he who invents lies against Allah is an Arabic form of speech that means none does greater evil than he who invents lies against Allah.

 

Ayah 6:93 continues saying:

And also, none does greater evil than he who invents lies by claiming prophethood when he has not been called to it,

And too, none does greater evil than he who says, ‘It is revealed to me’, when nothing has been revealed to him; this was revealed regarding the false prophet.

The verse 6:93 in two translations

 

PICKTHAL:

Who is guilty of more wrong than he who forgeth a lie against Allah, or saith: i am inspired, when he is not inspired in aught; and who saith: i will reveal the like of that which Allah hath revealed? if thou couldst see, when the wrong-doers reach the pangs of death and the angels stretch their hands out (saying): deliver up your souls. this day ye are awarded doom of degradation for that ye spake concerning Allah other than the truth, and used to scorn his portents.

 

YUSUFALI:

Who can be more wicked than one who inventeth a lie against Allah, or saith, “i have received inspiration,” when he hath received none, or (again) who saith, “i can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed”? if thou couldst but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! – the angels stretch forth their hands, (saying),”yield up your souls: this day shall ye receive your reward,- a penalty of shame, for that ye used to tell lies against Allah, and scornfully to reject of his signs!”
