Angels in Islam (16) every Nation worshiped the Angels

The Angels are responsible for helping the entire activities of man from his birth to his death. Instead of believing in the Angels, man worshiped them and made them gods

—————————————————–

Study of man’s traditional, historical, mythological and cultural folklores reveals that man all over the world worshiped the superpowers surrounding him which are represented by many gods like god of power, god of fertility, god of love, god of sexuality, god of clouds, god of sea, god of wind, god of rain, god of ocean, god of war, god of thunder, god of rivers, god of sky, god of lightning, god of plants, god of planets, god of wine, god of pleasures, god of protection, god of death, god of prosperity, god of plague, god of healing, god of hunting, god of animals etc.

 

It is interesting to find that every nation throughout the history believed in one or more of the above gods; you find that upon studying the cultures of Persian, Egypt, Greece, Romano-Celtic, Native American, Africa, Rome, Chinese, Armenia, Semitic, Babylonia, Assyria, Syria, Fiji, Germanic, Japan, Hindu, Haiti, Tibet, Maya, Celtic, Kassites, Aztec, Gaul, Hispanic, Moabite, Teutonic, Sparta, Chaldean, Dahomey, Taoist, Shinto, Hungary, Sumer, Teutonic, Tamil, Slavic, Tamil, Etruscan, Polynesian/Maori, Mexico, Celtic, Sumer, Tahiti, Phoenician, Gaul, Polynesian, Finland, Hittite, Mesoamerican, Akkad, Slavonic, Ethiopian, Yemeni, Native Australia, Columbian etc.

 

Then, what was the essential background of such belief?

After creation of Adam, Allah has told him that He will send to man messengers to guide human beings and man has to follow them.

The message that Allah sent to his messengers from Noah to Muhammad was the same; it is to believe in 1) Allah, 2) the Angels, 3) the Messengers, 4) the Divinely-revealed Books and 5) the Last Day and the Afterlife.

All the messengers taught their people everything about this faith; and of course they taught them everything about the nature and the role of the Angels the same as the Prophet Muhammad has told us

In brief, the Islamic teachings concerning the job descriptions of the Angels say that the Angels are responsible for helping the entire activities of man from his birth to his death.

The Angels are responsible also for the activities and the balance of the surrounding environment surrounding us. Not only that, but the Angels are responsible for your Afterlife.

 

1)    The Angels responsible for helping the entire activities of man from his birth to his death:

There are angels in charge of the baby inside the womb of his mother

Others are responsible for protecting the man throughout his life, when he stays home and when he travels, when he is asleep and when he is awake.

Others are responsible for recording the deeds of man, good and bad

Others are responsible for taking people’s souls: these are the Angel of Death and his group

Others are responsible for testing people in the grave.

 

2)    The Angels responsible for the environment surrounding us

There are angels responsible for rain, directing it wherever Allah wishes.

There are angels direct the winds and clouds, as Allah wills.

There are angels in charge of the plants

Some of the Angels are responsible for fertility, sea, thunder, ocean, war, mountains, rivers, sky, lightning, planets, plague, healing, etc.

 

3)    The Angels responsible for your Afterlife

Some of the Angels are the keepers of Paradise.

Some of the Angels are the keepers of Hell,

 

Back to the man throughout the history, instead of believing in the Angels, he worshiped them and made them god of fertility, god of love, god of sexuality, god of clouds, god of sea, god of wind, god of rain, god of ocean, god of war, god of thunder, god of rivers, god of sky, god of lightning, god of plants, god of planets, god of wine, god of pleasures, god of protection, god of death, god of prosperity, god of plague, god of healing, god of hunting, god of animals etc.

It is possible that his belief took time to develop and for sure it is done by Satan’s inspiration

 

Man has to believe in the Angels and to love them; however he made them gods and worshiped them!

It may be a kind of fiction to imagine that there are many gods in this world as the ancient people believed.

Would those many gods argue, struggle and fight together?

Have you seen some movies about the Greek gods which fought together?

Look how the Quran simply declares how this faith is err.

 

The meanings of the verse 21:22:

Had there been in the heavens and/or the earth, gods other than Allah, the heavens and/or the earth would have surely deteriorated, they would have deviated from their observed perfect order, because counteractive forces would exist among such gods, as is usually the case, when there is more than one ruler, that there is counteraction and a lack of consensus regarding something.  So glory be to Allah, the Lord of the Throne, above what the disbelievers ascribe.

—————————————————–

The verse 21:22 in four different translations:

QARIB:

Had there been gods in heaven or earth, other than Allah, both would indeed have been ruined. Exalted be Allah, lord of the throne, above that they describe.

SHAKIR:

if there had been in them any gods except Allah, they would both have certainly been in a state of disorder; therefore glory be to Allah, the lord of the dominion, above what they attribute (to him)

PICKTHAL:

If there were therein gods beside Allah, then verily both (the heavens and the earth) had been disordered. Glorified be Allah, the lord of the throne, from all that they ascribe (unto him).

YUSUFALI:

If there were, in the heavens and the earth, other gods besides Allah, there would have been confusion in both! But glory to Allah, the lord of the throne: (high is he) above what they attribute to him!

What Professor Gerald C. Goeringer says about the Quran?

Upon reading few verses of the Quran, Professor Dr Gerald C. Goeringer speculated whether in the history of embryology was there any mention of the different stages of embryonic development, or whether there existed any embryological texts at the time of the Prophet Muhammad.

Upon reading few verses (ayah) of the Noble Quran, Professor Dr Gerald C. Goeringer speculated whether in the history of embryology was there any mention of the different stages of embryonic development, or whether there existed any embryological texts at the time of the Prophet Muhammad.

Dr Gerald C. Goeringer is a Course Director and Professor and coordinator of Medical Embryology at the Department of Cell Biology, School of Medicine, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA. 

During the Eighth Saudi Medical Conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Professor Goeringer stated the following in the presentation of his research paper:

 “In a relatively few ayah (Quranic verses) is contained a rather comprehensive description of human development from the time of commingling of the gametes through organogenesis.  No such distinct and complete record of human development, such as classification, terminology, and description, existed previously.  In most, if not all, instances, this description antedates by many centuries the recording of the various stages of human embryonic and foetal development recorded in the traditional scientific literature.”

Here you are the Quranic verses that made Professor Dr Gerald C. Goeringer astonished!

The verses 23:12-14 in the four available translations

QARIB:

We created the human from an essence of clay: then we made him, a drop, in a secure receptacle (the womb). Then we created of the drop, a clot (of congealed blood) and we created the clot into bite size tissue, then we created the bite size tissue into bones, then we clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it another creation. Blessed is Allah, the best of creators!

SHAKIR:

And certainly we created man of an extract of clay, then we made him a small seed in a firm resting-place, then we made the seed a clot, then we made the clot a lump of flesh, then we made (in) the lump of flesh bones, then we clothed the bones with flesh, then we caused it to grow into another creation, so blessed be Allah, the best of the creators.

PICKTHAL:

Verily we created man from a product of wet earth; then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging; then fashioned we the drop a clot, then fashioned we the clot a little lump, then fashioned we the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the best of creators!

YUSUFALI:

Man we did create from a quintessence (of clay); then we placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed; then we made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot we made a (fetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. so blessed be Allah, the best to create!
