This is the second book of the Islamic Creed (‘aqeedah) series by Dr ‘Umar Sulaymaan al-Ashqar. It deals with the world of the Angels, an integral part of the Islamic faith. Persons denying the existence of Angels go outside the pale of Islam.
As usual, Dr. Al-Ashqar has discussed this issue exhaustively. His arguments are based on the texts of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. He has covered all aspects of the topic: definition, origin and characteristics, kinds and their relationship with mankind and other creation. Moreover, he draws a comparison between mankind and the angels in their respective roles as determined by Allah. A number of editions of the Arabic original have been sold out.
