The Angles and Books of Allah for ‘angel’ is malak. Malaa’ikah is its plural. Allah created the angels. He created them just as He created man and everything else. They are made of light. We cannot see them, but we know that they are there! This is because Allah’s Messenger () has told us so. The angels are Allah’s servants. They obey Him all the time. They carry out His commands. They have no power to disobey Allah.
The Angles and Books of Allah
Allah wanted man to obey Him. So He sent Angel Jibreel () to Prophet Muhammad (). Angel Jibreel told the Prophet () what Allah wanted man to do. Jibreel () brought the Qur’an to the Prophet () at the command of Allah. This was Jibreel’s duty. Allah sent Angel Jibreel () to many Prophets before Prophet Muhammad (). We can read about these prophets in the Qur’an. There are many angels.
Different angels do different duties. Angel Jibreel is one of them. Every one of us has two angels. They remain with us all the time. They write down everything we do or say! They write down our good actions and bad actions. Mikaa’eel, Israafeel, Maalik and Jibreel are some of the angels. A Muslim believes in all of Allah’s angels.

What are angels made of?
A Muslim believes in the angels even if he cannot see them. Allah sent Prophets and Messengers to guide man Allah sent guidance to us through His Prophets. This guidance of Allah is called wahi. The English word for wahi is revelation. Revelation means to make something known. Wahi (revelation) is the gift of Allah to man. Who brought this wahi to the Prophets? It was Angel Jibreel ( ) who brought wahi to Allah’s Prophets. These were Allah’s messages. These messages were collected in the form of books.
The Qur’an speaks of these books: The Suhuf were given to Prophet Ibraaheem (), The Zaboor was given to Prophet Dawood (), The Tawrah was given to Prophet Musa (), The Injeel was given to Prophet Isa (), and the Qur’an was given to Prophet Muhammad ()
All these books had the same message of Tawheed in them, that is (there is no god but Allah). What happened to these books? Except for the Qur’an, all the other books were lost or changed by people. Today the original words of these books do not exist, but we still believe that these Books were once sent by Allah.
We now have the Quran only. Its words are as original as when they came to our Prophet Muhammad ()• Allah has protected the Qur’an in its original form. It is a part of our faith to believe in the Qur’an.
