Angels in Islam (34) who knows their number?

Can anyone tell how many Angels has Allah created? Only one knows the answer

———————————-

How many visitors of Kaaba?

It is said that the maximum number of visitors of Kaaba that is present in Makkah is 15 million in a year

The range is between 5-15 million/year

So, at the maximum, there are 15 million Muslims who are able to visit the Allah’s Holy Home in a year; they go there, following Abraham’s recommendation, to glorify Allah and announce his oneness.

Have a look at this videos

Well, this is for the believers among mankind

What about the Angels?

There is also Holy House in the highest Heavens that Allah only knows where it is.

This Holy House is called the “Much-Frequented House”.

It is well known that the Prophet Muhammad saw this “Much-Frequented House”.

Upon describing it, the Prophet Muhammad said:

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

It follows that the Angels are regularly and persistently visiting their Holy House in the highest Heavens every day.

But the thing is, the Angels are visiting their Holy House daily in groups, each group is composed of 70,000 Angels.

Each group of Angels is allowed to visit their Holy House only once.

This means that 25,550,000 (more than 25 million) Angels are visiting their Holy House every day and they never return to it again.

The Angels visit their Holy House to glorify Allah and announce his oneness.

The Angels do that from day one of creation of the universe.

According to research, the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old

Assuming that this value is correct,

It follows that 352,590,000000,000000 Angels have visited their Holy House up till now.

This shows that about 253 Quadrillion Angels have visited their Holy House up till now; however, there are many more waiting their turn to visit in their predetermined day.

(N.B. Quadrillion = 1000 Trillion)

Now, can anyone tell me how many Angels has Allah created?

Only one knows the answer

The answer is found in the verse 74:31 of the Noble Quran

The verse 74:31 in different translations:

QARIB: …none knows the hosts of your Lord except he (Allah)…

SHAKIR: …and none knows the hosts of your Lord but he himself (Allah)…

PICKTHAL: …none knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save him (Allah)…

YUSUFALI: …and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except he (Allah)…

Angels in Islam (33) who believed in Angels?

The faith is one package, it is ALL or NONE; if you deny anyone of it, you are UNBELIEVERS and you will dwell in the Eternal Hell in the Afterlife.

———————————-

The meanings of the verse 2:285:

The Messenger Muhammad believes in what was revealed to him from his Lord (Quran), and the believers; each one alone in totality believes in:

1)    Allah, witnessing His Oneness

2)    Allah’s Angels,

3)    Allah’s Books, all of them and each of them, and

4)    Allah’s Messengers, and they make no distinction between any of His messengers; they say: we do not disbelieve in any of his messengers. They say: we do not distinguish between any of Allah’s Messengers either by rejecting some or accepting others. Nor do we doubt that they are upon the truth and sent with the truth.

(They are not like the Jews and the Christians who are believing in some messengers and disbelieving in others)

And then the Prophet Muhammad said and so do the believers:

  • We hear, what we have been enjoined to hear and accept, and obey the command of our Lord
  • We ask you: Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord; forgive us for the discourse of our souls, our Lord
  • To you, our Lord, is the homecoming, unto you is the return after death. That is, the return at the Resurrection.

 

It follows that it essential to believe in:

1) Allah at first

2) The Angels, all of them. Do not say that one of them is an enemy (like the Jews who say that Gabriel is their enemy)

3) All the books that are revealed from Allah like the book of Abraham, the Genuine Torah revealed unto the Prophet Moses, the book revealed unto the Prophet David and the Genuine Gospel revealed unto the Prophet Jesus.

4) All the Messengers and Prophets without any distinction; it essential to believe that all the Messengers and Prophets are the best ever among human beings. They are chosen by Allah. They all have done their job conveying Allah’s message to their people, folk, tribe, and nation. The principle message of all of them was: There is No god save Allah.

The principle message was the principle teaching of Adam, Noah, Hood, Salih, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Shu’aib, Moses, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Elisha, Jonah, Zachariah, John, Jesus and Muhammad.

It should be emphasized that the above 1), 2) 3) and 4) is one package, it is ALL or NONE

According to Islamic teaching, if you reject or deny anyone of the above, then you are UNBELIEVERS and you will dwell in the Eternal Hell forever in the Afterlife.

Allah and His Angels are our witnesses that I wrote it and you read it.

———————————-

The verse 2:285 in different translations:

QARIB:

The messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his lord, and so do the believers. Each believes in Allah and his angels, his books, and his messengers, we do not differentiate between any one of his messengers. They say: ‘we hear and obey. (We ask) your forgiveness lord, and to you is the arrival.

SHAKIR:

The messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his lord, and (so do) the believers; they all believe in Allah and his angels and his books and his messengers; we make no difference between any of his messengers; and they say: we hear and obey, our lord! Thy forgiveness (do we crave), and to thee is the eventual course

PICKTHAL:

The messenger believeth in that which hath been revealed unto him from his lord and (so do) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and his angels and his scriptures and his messengers – we make no distinction between any of his messengers – and they say: we hear, and we obey. (Grant us) thy forgiveness, our lord. Unto thee is the journeying.

YUSUFALI:

The messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, his angels, his books, and his messengers. “We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of his messengers.” and they say: “we hear, and we obey: (we seek) thy forgiveness, our lord, and to thee is the end of all journeys.”

Angels in Islam (29) you might have seen them-A

You might have seen the Angels one day but you did not realize that they were Angels!

————————————-

Chronologically speaking:

1)    Allah has created the Angels from light,

2)    Allah has created the jinn from fire, and

3)    Allah has created man from dust

It is proven by the conclusive manuscripts that it is not possible for humans to see the jinn unless they appear in a different form, such as in the form of humans and animals.

It is also proven by the conclusive manuscripts that the Angels cannot be seen in their original form by most people unless they appear in human form.

On the other hand, it is impossible for man, save Allah’s Messengers, to see the Angels in their original form.

As for the Angels appearing in human form, this is proven in the Quran and Hadith (Prophet Muhammad’s teachings).

If an Angel appears in human form, it is possible for everyone to see him regardless of his age, gender, race, color etc.

But no one can be certain that a person he is seeing is an Angel, because proof that he is an Angel is dependent on revelation from Allah.

The Angels appeared in human form and came to the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), however, Abraham did not know that they were Angels until the Angels told him they were Angels and also Allah told us the story in the Quran.

The Angels appeared in human form and came to the Prophet Loot (Lot), however, Lot did not know that they were Angels until the Angels told him they were Angels and also Allah told us the story in the Quran.

The great Angel Gabriel appeared in human form and came to Saint Maryam (Mary), however, Saint Mary did not know that He was Jibreel until He told her that He is Gabriel and also Allah told us the story in the Quran.

So, it is more likely when the Angels appear in human form to other people that such other people cannot have any knowledge of that they have seen Angels.

It follows that you might have seen the Angels one day but you did not realize that they were Angels!

Coming up are the evidence that the Angels can appear in human form and that they can be seen in this form

Angels in Islam (28) is Gabriel the enemy of Jews?

The Jews claimed that Gabriel is their enemy because he did not come with good and that if it had been Michael they would have believed in Muhammad.

——————————–

Omar ibn al-Khattab was one of Muhammad best friends.

He was astonished how the Genuine Torah and the Quran confirm each other.

The conversation between Omar ibn al-Khattab and the chief rabbi?

Said ‘Omar ibn al-Khattab:

‘I used to go to the Jews upon their study of the (genuine) Torah and was amazed to see the conformity of the Quran with the Torah and of the Torah with the Quran.

On one occasion they said: ‘O ‘Omar! We do not like anyone more than we like you’.

Omar asked: ‘And why is that?’

They said: ‘Because you come to us and mix with us’.

Omar said: ‘I come to you only because of my amazement at how the different parts of the Book of Allah strengthen each other, and how the Quran is in conformity with the Torah and how the Torah is in conformity with the Quran’.

They said: who among the Angels came to your prophet?

Omar said: Gabriel

Omar continued: ‘I adjure you by Allah and by that which was revealed to you of Scripture, do you know that he is Allah’s Messenger?’

Their chief said to them: ‘He has implored you by Allah, so do tell him’.

They said: ‘You are our chief; you tell him’.

Their chief said: ‘We do know that he is Allah’s Messenger!’

Omar said: ‘You are the one who shall be subject to the worst form of destruction if you all know that he is Allah’s Messenger and then do not follow him’.

Their chief rabbi said: Let us go to him to ask him some questions at first

The Jews came to the Prophet, and said: ‘O Muhammad! We would like to ask you about a few things; we shall follow you if you answer them.

They asked him about many things like faith, deeds. Afterlife etc.

The Prophet Muhammad answered them according to what inspired to him from Allah.

The Jews looked at each other, they were confused about what to say, should they say: Now we believe in you O Muhammad as the promised last prophet found in Torah?

Their chief rabbi said: Who, among the Angels, comes to you? For there is not a single prophet except that an angel comes to him with a message and revelation from his Lord, glorified and majestic is He, so who is the angel who comes to you?’

Muhammad said: ‘it is Gabriel’.

Their chief rabbi said: ‘That is the one who comes down with war and fighting. He is our enemy. If you had said: Michael, who comes down with rain and mercy, we would have followed you’.

It follows that the Jews claimed that Gabriel did not come with good, that they did not love him, and that if it had been Michael they would have believed in Muhammad.

And so Allah revealed the verses 2:97-98 that mean:

Say O Muhammad not to Jews only but to mankind

Gabriel is the Angel who brought the Quran down upon your heart by Allah’s permission and command

The revealed Quran is confirming the scriptures before it (e.g. the Genuine Torah)

The Quran brought down upon your heart by Gabriel is a guidance from error and good tidings, of Paradise, for the believers

Who is an enemy to Gabriel is automatically an enemy to Allah and to the entire Angels.

Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel, let him die in exasperation

Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His Angels and His messengers, and Gabriel and Michael then surely Allah is an enemy to him

Anyone who is an enemy to Allah’s Angels, Gabriel, and Michael etc. is but an unbeliever and he will dwell in the Eternal Hell forever!

The Jews said Gabriel did not bring good, what good is greater than the Quran that descended through him?’ Does it not suffice them that Allah sent down the Quran upon you O Muhammad?

The thing is Gabriel came down many times to punish the Jews when they, many times, disobeyed Allah. But, did he do it by his own or by Allah’s permission and command?

The one who is perfectly doing his Job is an enemy only to those who hate the truth!

Nevertheless, does the enmity of the Jews harm Gabriel?

The Real Gabriel’s size is more than 100 times the total earth’ size!

——————————–

The verses 2:97-98 in different translations:

QARIB:

-Say: ‘whoever is an enemy of Gabriel, indeed, he has brought it down by the permission of Allah to your heart, confirming what was before it and a guidance and glad tidings to the believers.

-Whoever is an enemy of Allah, his Angels, his messengers, Gabriel, and Michael indeed Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers. ‘

SHAKIR:

-Say: whoever is the enemy of Jibreel– for surely he revealed it to your heart by Allah’s command, verifying that which is before it and guidance and good news for the believers

-Whoever is the enemy of Allah and his Angels and his messengers and Jibreel and Meekaeel, so surely Allah is the enemy of the unbelievers

PICKTHAL:

-Say (o Muhammad, to mankind): who is an enemy to Gabriel! For he it is who hath revealed (this scripture) to thy heart by Allah’s leave, confirming that which was (revealed) before it, and a guidance and glad tidings to believers;

-Who is an enemy to Allah, and his Angels and his messengers, and Gabriel and Michael! Then, lo! Allah (himself) is an enemy to the disbelievers.

YUSUFALI:

-Say: whoever is an enemy to Gabriel-for he brings down the (revelation) to thy heart by Allah’s will, a confirmation of what went before, and guidance and glad tidings for those who believe,-

-Whoever is an enemy to Allah and his Angels and messengers, to Gabriel and Michael, – lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject faith.

Angels in Islam (27) Gabriel conveyed Allah’s message

The great Angel Gabriel conveyed Allah’s message to His entire Prophets.

The event of the first revelation of the Quran is mentioned in the Bible.

——————————————-

The duties of the Angels are many.

One of their important duties is to convey the revelation from Allah to His Messengers.

The great Angel Gabriel (Jibreel) is the one responsible for handing over Allah’s message to Allah’s Messengers and Prophets.

Gabriel conveyed Allah’s message to some thousands of Prophets which Allah sent.

Although the Quran mentions 25 Prophets by names, however; Allah sent at least one messenger to every nation from Adam up to Muhammad (the last one).

Gabriel conveyed Allah’s message to the Prophets Noah, Hood, Salih, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Shu’aib, Moses, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Elisha, Jonah, Zachariah, John, Jesus etc.

Allah’s message to His entire Messengers and Prophets is the same that is there is no god but Allah and submit to Him.

Literally, submission to Allah means Islam

The story of the first revelation of the Quran

Essential background:

Muhammad was born and raised in Mecca, he was illiterate.

His family was very big power-wise and authority-wise.

However, he was concerned with the social conflict, injustice, widespread discrimination (principally against women and black people), fighting among tribes and abuse of ancestral authorities dominant in pre-Islamic Arabia. The moral deterioration of his fellow people, and the err religion of worshipping idols.

He never ever worshiped an idol

He used to spend many hours or few days in a cave sitting alone looking for his Creator and feeling sorry about his people who used to worship many different idols.

When He was 40 years and while he was in the cave, Gabriel appeared to him.

Gabriel gave him a piece of paper and commanded him to read what was written in it.

Muhammad said: I cannot read, I am not a reader

Gabriel hugged him powerfully, then left him and commanded him again to read what was written. Muhammad’s reply was the same.

The powerful Gabriel’s hug and his command repeated twice but yielding the same Muhammad’s reply.

Then Gabriel said:

Read! In the name of your Lord and Cherisher, He is the One Who created

He Created man, out of “Alaq”

Read! And your Lord is Most Bountiful,

Who taught man with the use of the pen,-

He taught man that which he knew not.

(The verses 96:1-5)

And this was the first revelation of the Quran.

To whom it may concern

The event of the first revelation of the Quran is mentioned in the Bible (Isaiah 29:12).

Attention: None of the Israelites’ prophets was illiterate!

——————————————-

Isaiah 29:12

21st Century King James Version

12- And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, “Read this, I pray thee”; and he saith, “I am not learned”.

Common English Bible:

12- And when the scroll is given to one who can’t read, saying, “Read this,” that one will say, “I can’t read.”

American Standard Version

12- And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee; and he saith, I am not learned.

Amplified Bible

12- And when the book is given to him who is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you, he says, I cannot read.

Angels in Islam (25) are they beautiful or ugly?

Depending on who is the eyewitness; the Angels could be seen either extremely beautiful or very horrifying ugly beings. And, this is one of Allah’s miracles.

——————————————

The Angels are extremely beautiful it is common to see the picture of an Angel in the western media; wherein the Angel is portrayed as a small beautiful boy with two little wings.

It is also a common knowledge throughout man’s history that the Angels are strikingly nice-looking.

The idea that Angels are beautiful is firmly established in all people’s minds, so much so that they liken a beautiful human to an Angel, as the women said about the Prophet Yusuf (Joseph), the son of Jacob: “. . . When they [the women] saw him, they did extol him and (in their amazement) cut their hands: they said: ‘Allah preserve us! No mortal is this! This is none other than a noble Angel!’” (The verse 12:31)

Upon describing the great Angel Gabriel (Jibreel), the Quran says that he is “Dhoo Mirrah”. It is an Arabic word that means free from any defect and he has a very beautiful appearance (the verse 53:5-6)

The Angels also came to the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and the Prophet Lut (Lot) in the form of young men with beautiful faces. (The verses 51:24-28 and the verses 11:77-81 respectively)

Also, Allah sent the Angel Gabriel (Jibreel) to Saint Mary (Maryam) in the form of a good looking man (the verse 19:17)

In addition, The Angel Gabriel (Jibreel) used to come to the Prophet Muhammad in the form of a good looking man

In short, the Angels are generally extremely beautiful beings with wings as described in the Quran (The verse 35:1).

It is said that looking at the beautiful Angels is a great Bliss.

We knew that the Spectator of the beautiful Angels were:

  • The Prophet Abraham
  • The Prophet Lot
  • The Prophet Muhammad
  • Saint Mary

All of them were strictly submissive to Allah

All of them deserve the great Bliss of watching the beautiful Angels.

Now, the question is: do the unbelievers deserve the great bliss of seeing the beautiful Angels?

The verse 68:35 answers this question, it says:

  • Shall your Lord (O Muhammad) make the reward of those who submit to Allah as the reward of the unbelievers?
  • Are your Lord then to treat those who submit as the sinners?

It follows that the unbelievers, unlike the believers, will not be able to see the beautiful Angels.

But, they will see them for sure face to face at the moment of their death (Read the Articles 22-24)

The thing is that the Angels are able to change their form, shape, color, voice etc. to whatever they want.

Allah gave them this unique ability to change their form, shape, color, voice etc.

It is forbidden for the unbelievers to see them as beautiful beings.

For this reason, the Angels will appear to the unbelievers as Very horrifying ugly beings with very terrifying loud voices.

And this is one of the many Allah’s miracles

——————————————

The verse 68:35 in different translations:

QARIB:

What, shall we make those who are submissive like the wrongdoers?

SHAKIR:

What! Shall we then make (that is, treat) those who submit as the guilty?

PICKTHAL:

Shall we then treat those who have surrendered as we treat the guilty?

YUSUFALI:

Shall we then treat the people of faith like the people of sin?

Angels in Islam (17) their speed is 98 billion times faster than the Speed of Light

The Angels speed is 97,766,160,000 Times faster than the Speed of Light and 977,616 Times faster than the Spooky Quantum Action.

————————————–

The speed of light is about 300,000 kilometers/second (it is exactly 299,792 kilometers/second)

So, if you travel with the speed of light, you can go from the Earth to the Moon in one second and from the Earth to the Sun in eight minutes.

However, the successful researches of NASA proved that the photons travel faster than the speed of light

A team of international scientists demonstrate Three-Way Quantum Communication that is faster than the Speed of Light.

Spooky (Ghostly) Quantum Action Is 10,000 Times Faster than Light

And this is –so far- the fastest speed ever known.

 

On the other hand, the most distant star that can be seen by man is the star Deneb

This star is located about 1550 light years away from Earth.

This distance = 1550 X 365 X 24 X 60 X 60 X 300,000 = 611,010,000,000,000 kilometers = 611 trillion kilometers

It is the most distant star man can ever see.

 

According to the Islamic teaching, Allah is far above all of His creatures and far above our our imagination, our mind, and our thoughts.

The star Deneb is one of Allah’s creatures.

It is well known that the Great Honored Angel, Gabriel (Gabriel (Jibreel)) is the messenger between Allah and the Prophet Muhammad; he used to convey the verses of the Quran from Allah to the Prophet Muhammad throughout a period of 23 years.

Hypothetically, if we assume that Gabriel is located nearby the star Deneb; then it was happened many times that an enquirer(s) had just completed a question to the Prophet and Gabriel would bring the answer from Allah in few seconds!

This happened may times; a man is asking the Prophet Muhammad and Gabriel brings the answer from Allah in few seconds (let us say in 5 seconds)

Then, the Hypothetical distance of 1550 light years away from Earth = 5 second by the Angels’ speed.

So, the Angels speed is far above our imagination, our mind, and our thoughts.

Accordingly, the Angels speed is 97,766,160,000 Times Faster than Light

And, the Angels speed is 977,616 Times faster than the Spooky Quantum Action

As a matter of fact, Gabriel – while he is above the Heavens nearby Allah – is more far away than the star Deneb.

 

This is one of many miraculous examples of Allah’s creation.

The verse 31:11 says according to different translations:

QARIB:

Such is the creation of Allah; now show me what, other than him, created! No, the harm doers are in clear error.

SHAKIR:

This is Allah’s creation, but show me what those besides him have created. Nay, the unjust are in manifest error

PICKTHAL:

This is the creation of Allah. Now show me that which those (ye worship) beside him have created. Nay, but the wrong-doers are in error manifest!

YUSUFALI:

Such is the creation of Allah: now show me what is there that others besides him have created: nay, but the transgressors are in manifest error.

Angels in Islam (14) the Female Angels is satanic idea

The Angels have no sex, they do not marry; they are not like us

Satan was the source of the belief that the Angels are the daughters of Allah

The angels know that the unbelievers will dwell in the Eternal hell

Read how Allah describes the Angels and what the Angels say about themselves

—————————————————

Throughout the history, man was confused about the nature of the Angels.

The scholars and the philosophers have four different belief concerning the nature of Angels and who they are:

  1. The first party believes that they are the sons of God
  2. The second party believes that they are the daughters of God
  3. The third party believes that they are God
  4. The fourth party believes that they are partners of God

The Quran denies and disproves all of the above belief.

In the article Angels in Islam (10) the Quran denies the Bible’s claim that the Angels are the sons of God who married the daughters of the People! (Genesis 6:2)

In the article Angels in Islam (11) the Quran says that neither Jesus nor the Angels who are close and favored, to Allah, would never disdain, scorn or reject haughtily, to be a slave of Allah.

In the article Angels in Islam (12) the Quran says that the Angels are neither males nor females; they are not like us.

In the article Angels in Islam (13) the Quran condemns and denies the pre-Islamic belief of the daughters are to be for Allah, while the sons are to be for Arabs?

 

We knew that Arabs before Islam believe that the Angels are female and they are the daughters of Allah and Allah’s descendants are only females!

And such daughters of Allah deserve to be worshipped.

This was the background of why the Arabs before Islam used to worship the Angels, the daughters of Allah as they assumed

However, what was the source of such belief that is the Angels are but the daughters of Allah?

 

The verses 4:116-117 say:

Instead of Allah, the idolaters worship idols with feminine names and the rebellious Satan for they are obeying him (Satan).

This indicates that Satan was the source of this evil idea, which is the Angels are the daughters of Allah.

It is important to realize that Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him;

Whoever associates anything with Allah, verily he has get lost far away, from the truth.

 

The verses 37:149-166 say:

The Arabs before Islam assert kinship between Allah and the angels.

On the other hand, the angels know that the unbelievers will be assembled together and dwell in the Eternal hell

Read how Allah describes the Angels: They are “the sincere worshipers of Allah

Now listen to what the Angels say about themselves:

Each of us has a known place.

We are surely those who are arranged in ranks. And

We are the ones who exalt Allah

—————————————————

The verses 4:116-117 (QARIB translation):

116) Allah does not forgive (the sin of inventing an) association with him, but he forgives other sins to whomsoever he will. Whosoever associates with Allah has gone astray in far error.

117) instead of him they supplicate to none but females, and indeed they supplicate to none except the rebellious Satan,

 

The verses 37:149-166 (QARIB translation)

149-154) Now، ask them (o Muhammad): has your lord daughters، and they sons? Or، did we create the angels females while they were witnessing? Then is it of their lying that they say: ‘Allah has begotten (daughters)? They are truly liars. Has he chosen daughters above sons? What is the matter with you? How do you judge?

155-158) what, will you not remember? Or, do you have a clear authority? Bring your book, if what you say is true! They assert kinship between him and the angels. But the angels know that they (the liars) will be arraigned (in hell).

159-166) Exaltations to Allah above what they describe, Except for the sincere worshipers of Allah. But as for you, and that you worship, you shall tempt none against him Except for he who shall roast in hell. (Gabriel said to the prophet Muhammad): ‘each of us has a known place. We are surely those who are arranged in ranks. And we are they who exalt (Allah). ‘

Angels in Islam (6) how many wings they have?

In the Quran, the verse 35:1 discloses that the Angels may have two, three or four wings and Allah increases in creation what He will.

The verse may be interpreted as follows:

Praise be to Allah

All gratitude and favor belong to Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, who appointed the angels.

It is Allah who created and honored the angels and made them messengers i.e. He sends them with a message to His created beings; this refers to some Angels (we will talk about them later) like:

1.    Jibreel (Gabriel),

2.    Michael, 

3.    The angel of death,

4.    Etc.

Allah has created the Angels with wings.

The angels have wings with which to fly.

How many wings they have?

An Angel may have:

§  Two wings

§  Three wings

§  Four wings

§  Up to 600 wings; it is said that Jibreel has 600 wings

Allah multiplies in creation what He will

Allah multiplies in the creation of angels what He will

It is also said that in those wings are what He wills; and it is also said: whomever He wills is in good fortune; and it is said that this means: whomsoever He wills is certainly perfect.

Allah is Able to do all things of increase and decrease. many wings they have?elsHell.re of the Eternal Hell and its dwellers

Surely, Allah has power over all things.

———————————————————

The verse 35:1 in four different translations

QARIB:

Praise belongs for Allah, the originator of the heavens and earth, who appointed the angels to be messengers, with wings, two, three, and four. He increases the creation as he wills. Allah has power over all things.

SHAKIR:

All praise is due to Allah, the originator of the heavens and the earth, the maker of the angels, messengers flying on wings, two, and three, and four; He increases in creation what he pleases; surely Allah has power over all things

PICKTHAL:

Praise be to Allah, the creator of the heavens and the earth, who appointeth the angels messengers having wings two, three and four. he multiplieth in creation what He will. lo! Allah is able to do all things.

YUSUFALI:

Praise be to Allah, who created (out of nothing) the heavens and the earth, who made the angels, messengers with wings,- two, or three, or four (pairs): He adds to creation as he pleases: for Allah has power over all things.
