Consequences of believing in God:
In the light of the four principles, the existence of God can be believed to be the root of goodness and happiness. And the matter is fulfilled by believing in the remaining pillars of faith. According to the above rules, it is obligatory to have faith in Allah. Whenever a nation or group ignores these four basic principles that are important for faith in God, their hearts are plunged into deep darkness. Second: Believing in angels. Angels are invisible, inhabitants of the world. God created them from light. He has given them the ability to obey His commands and the strength to carry out His commands. They have no qualms about being lords or deities. They are created. God created them and honored them as His honored servants. They have nothing in common with humans in terms of features. They do not eat, they do not sleep, they do not need marriage, they are free from their sexual desires, even from all kinds of wickedness. They are able to manifest themselves in various forms of human beings. Faith in angels is fulfilled through four things:
1. Believing in their existence according to the qualities that Allah has described to them.
2. To believe in all the names we know of them from the Qur'an and the pure Hadith, such as the angels Gabriel, Israfil, Mikail, Malik, Munkar, Naqeer and Malakul Maut, and those among whom we do not know their names in general.
3. Believing in those whose characteristics we have learned in the Qur'an and in the pure Hadith. For example, the characteristic of Jibraeel (peace be upon him) - the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saw him in the shape in which Allaah created him. Who covered the primordial with its six hundred wings. The characteristic of the angel carrying the throne in this way is that the distance from one ear to the other is seven hundred years. Subhanallah.
4, to believe in those among whom we have become aware of their responsibilities. For example, they are tirelessly immersed in the glorification of Allah day and night. Any kind of exhaustion touches them. Among them are the bearers of the Throne, the Guardians of Paradise and the Guardians of Hell. There is a group of traveling angels in Ara, who follow the places where Allah is worshiped.
-Special work of some angels.
Jibraeel: He is responsible for exchanging revelations, and he has been entrusted with the responsibility of sending down revelations to the Prophet.
Israfil: He has been assigned to blow the trumpet on the Day of Resurrection.
Mikael: Responsible for rain and plant production
• Owner: Responsible for Hell.
Munkar and Naqir: Both of them have been entrusted with the duty of questioning the dead person in the grave.
Malakul Maut: He is responsible for charming the soul.
• Al-Qiram al-Qatibun: The children of Adam are engaged in the daily work of writing. Besides, there are many angels in Ara, whose deeds we are not aware of. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): He alone knows the forces of your Lord. This is just advice for people. (Surat al-Muddaththir: 31) Belief in angels is one of the many benefits of Muslim personal life. Here are some of them:
1. Knowing the greatness and power of God. Because the greatness of creation bears witness to the greatness of the Creator.
2. For the sake of Allah's infinite grace, to declare that He has saved mankind from various calamities by sending angels; To record their deeds, on the throne. He has entrusted them with the responsibilities of delivering their prayers, apologizing for them, announcing the rewards, etc.
3. They are devoted to Allah and worship Him - that is why they should be loved.
4. Worship - getting closer to them through worship. Because, them. Through it, Allah has endowed His beloved servants with a strong will. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “I am with you when your Lord directs the angels. So keep the hearts of the believers calm. (Surat al-Anfal: 12)
5. To be under the watchful eye of God at all times and to be fully alert; That no sin may be revealed from man except that which is lawful and good. Because Allah has sent honorable angels to write down the deeds of human beings.
6, the angels suffer is to refrain from this kind of work. They suffer when they commit sins. That is why they do not enter houses with pictures of dogs and animals. Stinky objects provoke their suffering. For example, eating onion, garlic or going to the mosque after eating.
