Characteristics of Angels

Badr: Muslims enhanced by the Angels

In Surah Al-Anfaal [Quran 8], Allah mentions that He supported the Muslims (in Badr) with 1, 000 angels. In Surah Aali Imraan [Quran 3], Allah mentions that He supported the Muslims with 3, 000 and then 5, 000 angels. An authentic narration explains this clearly, when Rabee’ ibn Anas says: “Allah aided the Muslims on the day of Badr with 1000 [angels], then He increased them in help, so they were 3000, then He increased them in help, so they were 5000. ” [as quoted in Fath al Bari, al-Asqalani]

ﺍ ﺍ ﻳ ﺍﻭﺍ ﺍ ﻭﺍ ﻳ ﺍ ﺍﻳ ﻭ ﻭ ﻳ آﻭﺍ ﺍ ﻭ ﺍﻳ ﻭ ﺍ Those who bear the Throne and those around Him celebrate the praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask protection for those who believe: Our Lord! You embrace all things in mercy and knowledge, therefore grant protection to those who turn to You and follow Your Way, and save them from the punishment of hellfire.

Angels in Islam In Islam angels are agents of God, They were created by God to serve and worship Him, and perform certain tasks that were given. The angels in Heaven are subordinates in a hierarchy headed by one of the archangels in the highest heavens.

Western Scholars n Philip Woolley, a professor and researcher from Germany, asked for a copy of Al-Saheefa al. Sajjadiya to be sent to him after his friend, a Roman Catholic Cardinal, saw the book in his library, studied part of it, and impressed with its novelty insisted on taking it away with him. n When the Vatican Library in Rome received an English version of Al-Saheefa al-Sajjadiya, it said in its letter of acknowledgment: "This book contains great mystical themes, so we place it for researchers in the best position of the library. "

Western Scholars n A leader of Germany's Social Democratic Party wrote to a friend, Professor Singler, saying: "This book had a profound impact on me and changed my view about Islam. I invite my friend to study this book", n In Poland, Christian Scientist Andre Kowski said of the book: ¨ "I am deeply impressed by the ideas of Imam Sajjad, whose noble Yourghts are manifested on the pages of the book Al-Saheefa al-Sajjadiya. It is so attractive, to the extent that I feel this book has given me a complete sense of the mystical and divine. "
