It is also an obligation on the Muslim to believe that the angels never disobey Allah, Allah ta^ala said:

﴿لاَّ يَعصُونَ اللهَ مَآ أَمَرَهُم وَيَفعَلُونَ مَا يُؤمَروُنَ

Verse 6 of Surat at-Tahrim means: “They do not disobey Allah in what He orders them (to do), and they do exactly what they were ordered.”

It means that they are engaged in obedience ever since Allah ta^ala created them.

أما من حيث الصورةِ فهم ذوي أجنحة، قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالى: ﴿الْحَمْدُ للهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلآئِكَةِ رُسُلاً أُولِي~ أَجْنِحَةٍ مَّثْنَى وَثُلاَثَ وَرُبَاعَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَآءُ إِنَّ اللهَ عَلَى كُلٍّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌفاطر / ۱.

ثم من شأن الملائكة أنهم إن تصوروا بصور بني ءادم يظهرون بصور الرجال من غير ءالة الذكورة لا يتشكلون بصور الإناث، والملائكة ليسوا إناثًا ومن قال عنهم إنهم إناث فقد كفر. العرب القدماء كانوا يقولون الملائكة إِناث، كانوا يقولونَ لنا الذَكَرُ وَلَهُ الأُنثى لا يجوزُ تصويرُ الملائِكَةُ بِشَكلِ الإِناث كما يُصَّوِرُ البَعضُ فوق صورةِ سيدنا عيسى عليهِ السلام، قال الله تعالى: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤمِنُونَ بِالأَخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ المَلآئِكَةَ تَسمِيَةَ الأُنثَى﴾ النجم / 27.

The Angels, in form, have wings. Allah said in the Qur’an:

﴿الْحَمْدُ للهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلآئِكَةِ رُسُلاً أُولِي~ أَجْنِحَةٍ مَّثْنَى وَثُلاَثَ وَرُبَاعَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَآءُ إِنَّ اللهَ عَلَى كُلٍّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌفاطر / ۱.

Verse 1 of Surat Fatir means: “Praise be to Allah, Who created the skies and the earth, Who made the angels, messengers with wings, - two, or three, or four pairs: He adds to Creation as He wills: For Allah has power over all things.”

Moreover, if the angels take the shape of a human, they would appear in the shape of men, however, without the genital organ. Angels do not take the form of females; the one who believes that the angels are females commits blasphemy. The ancient Arabs used to say: The angels are females. They used to say: We got the males and God got the females. It is not permissible to make images of females and say that they are the angels as some people do when they put such images above what they say that it is the image of our Master ^Isa (Jesus). Allah said in Surat an-Najm, Verse 27:

﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لاَ يُؤمِنُونَ بِالأَخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ المَلآئِكَةَ تَسمِيَةَ الأُنثَى﴾

It means: “Those who do not believe in the hereafter are those who name the angels with feminine names, (i.e., believe that they are female.)”

المَلَكُ قَدْ يَتَشَكَلُ بِصُورَةٍ غير صُورَتِهِ الحَقيقيَة، يَتَشَكَلُ بِصورةٍ حَسَنَةٍ كما جبريلُ كانَ يتشكلُ للنبيِّ عَليهِ الصلاةُ والسلامُ كما في الحديثِ الذي نَحنُ بِصَدَدِ شَرْحِهِ "شَدِيدُ بَياضِ الثِّيَابِ شَدِيدُ سَوادِ الشَّعَرِ" هذا يَجوزُ أن يَحصُلُ للملائِكَةِ.

وَكما جاءَ جِبريلُ عَلَيهِ السَّلاَمُ لِمَريَمَ لَمَّا جَلَبَ لها روح عيسى عليهِ السَّلاَمُ، قَالَ اللهُ تعالى: ﴿ فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا مريم / ۱٧. وَهُوَ لَيسَ بَشَرًا فقالت لَهُ مريم: ﴿قَالَتْ إِنِّي~ أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمَن مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا﴾ مريم / 18. ثُمَّ أَخبَرَهَا: ﴿إِنَّمَآ أَنَاْ رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلامًا زَكِيًّا﴾ مريم / 19.

مِنْ هُنَا قَالَ الفُقَهَاءُ أَنَّهُ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَتَشَكَلَ المَلَكُ بِصورةِ الرِجَال مِنْ دُونِ ءَالَةِ الذُكُوريَةِ.

The angel might take a form other than his original form as when Jibril used to change his form when he used to come to the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam and as in the hadith which we are explaining right now. It was mentioned in the hadith that Jibril came with an extreme white dress and extreme black hair; this is permissible to happen to the angels.

Also it was mentioned about Jibril, when he brought the soul of ^Isa to Maryam, in Allah's saying in Verse 17 of Surat Maryam:

﴿ فَتَمَثَّلَ لَهَا بَشَرًا سَوِيًّا

This means that Jibril came to Maryam in the shape of a human and he is not human. Maryam said to him what Allah mentioned in Verse 18 of Surat Maryam:

﴿قَالَتْ إِنِّي~ أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمَن مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا﴾

Which means: “I seek refuge with Allah from you, if you are a pious one, and then do not harm me.” Jibril said to her: “Allah sent me to give you the news about having a son who is pious, pure, and free of sins.”

That is why the scholars said that it is permissible that the angel would take the shape of men; however, without the genital organ.

أَمَّا هُو جِبريلُ فقد رَءاهُ النَبيُِ على هَيئَتِهِ الأصلية، مرةً كان الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم في مكة بمكان يقال له "أجياد" فقال له جبريل: أطلب من ربك أن تراني في صورتي الأصلية، فطلب فظهر له من المشرق فسدَّ ما بين المشرق والمغرب فَصُعِقَ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم (أي غُشي عليه) ثم أخذه جبريل وقد تحوَّل إلى الصورة البشرية فضمّه إليه، ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: "يا جبريل ما ظننت أن الله تعالى خلق أحدًا على مثل هذه الصورة" فقال جبريل: "إنَّ اللهَ خلقني على ستمائة جناح وما نشرتُ منها إلا جناحين وإن الله خلق إسرافيل على ستمائة جناح، الجناح الواحد منها مثل كل أجنحتي".

قالَ لَهُ جِبريلُ: ادعوا اللهَ أن تَراني مَرَةً ثَانِيَةً. وَلَمَّا عُرِّجَ بِهِ عَليهِ الصَّلاةُ والسَّلامُ رَءَاهُ مَرَةً ثَانِيَةً، قَالَ اللهُ تَعالى: ﴿وَلَقَد رَءَاهُ نَزلَةً أُخرَى عِندَ سِدرَةِ المُنتَهَى عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ المَأوَى﴾ النجم 13- 15.

وورد في الحديث الصحيح "إن جبريل عليه السلام خُلق على ستمائة جناح يتناثر منها تهاويل الدر والياقوت". التهاويل هو شئ يهول المنظر أي يبهر الأنظار كالدّر والياقوت، يسقط من أجنحته شئ يبهر الأنظار.

Once the Messenger of Allah sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam was in Makkah in an area called “Ajyad” when Jibril said to him: “Ask your Lord to enable you to see me in my original form.” He did, then Jibril appeared from the east, he blocked what is between the east and west and as a result the Messenger of Allah fainted. Jibril embraced him and his shape had changed to that of a human. The Messenger of Allah sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam said: “I did not think that Allah has created a creation in this image.” Jibril then said: “Allah has created me with 6oo wings and I spread open only two wings of them, and Allah created Israfil with 6oo wings each one of them is as big as all of my wings.”

Jibril said to the Prophet: Make a Supplication to your Lord to enable you to see me again. Allah said in Surat an-Najm, Verses 13-15:

﴿وَلَقَد رَءَاهُ نَزلَةً أُخرَى عِندَ سِدرَةِ المُنتَهَى عِندَهَا جَنَّةُ المَأوَى﴾

It means that Prophet Muhammad sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam saw Jibril another time at Sidrat al-Muntaha, where Paradise is.

It was narrated in the sahih hadith that Jibril was created with 600 wings with pearls and rubies sparkle from them that dazzle the sight.

ثُمَّ الملائِكَةُ الكِرَامُ اللهُ تعالى جَعَلَ لَهُم وَظائِفَ خَصَّصَ لَهُم وظائف هم طائِعونَ لِلهِ مِنهُم مَن في السماءِ يَتَصَرَّفُ بِمَا أَمَرَهُ اللهُ. مِنهُم في الجَنَّةِ يَقولونَ لأَهلِ الجَنَّةِ كَمَا قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالى: ﴿وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ زُمَرًا حَتَّى إِذَا جَآءُوهَا وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوهَا خَالِدِينَ﴾ الزُمَر / 73. وَمِنهُمْ في النَّارِ وعلى رأسِهِم مَلَكٌ يُسَمَى مَالَكٌ والذينَ مَعَهُ يَسَّمَونَ الزَبانية يتلذذون بِطَاعَةِ اللهِ لا يتعذبونَ هُم يُعَذِّبُونَ الكُفَارَ كَمَا أُمِرُوا.

Allah ta^ala has given the angels specific assignments and they are obedient to Allah. Some of them are in the sky carrying out what Allah has ordered them to do. Some of them are in Paradise, they would say to the people of Paradise as Allah said in Surat az-Zumar, Verse 73:

﴿وَسِيقَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ زُمَرًا حَتَّى إِذَا جَآءُوهَا وَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُهَا وَقَالَ لَهُمْ خَزَنَتُهَا سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوهَا خَالِدِينَ﴾

It means: “And those who feared their Lord will be led to Paradise in crowds behold until they arrive there; its gates will be opened; and its keepers among the Angels will say: "Peace be upon you! Well have you done and have you earned! Enter you here to Paradise, to dwell everlastingly therein.".”

Some of them are in Hellfire headed by an Angel called Malik; the angels who are with him are named the Zabaniyah; they enjoy obeying Allah; they do not get any torture; rather they torture the blasphemers as they were ordered to.

وَهُنَاكَ مَلاَئِكَةٌ وَظيفَتُهُمْ في أَشياءَ لأجلِ بَني ءِادَمَ كإنبَاتِ الزَرْعِ وإِيصَالِ الأَرواحِ إِلى الأَجِنَّةِ، اللهُ تَعَالى يُرْسِلُ مَلَكٌ في ساعَةٍ مُحَدَدَةٍ في وَقتٍ مُحَدَدٍ. مَلَكُ الرَّحِمِ في الوَقتِ الذي شَاءَ اللهُ لِلمَرأَةِ أَن تَحمِلَ يُلقي الرُّوحَ في الجنين وكذلِك هذا المَلَكُ يُصَّوِرُ الجنينَ ذَكَرًا أو أنثى والصِّفَةُ التي شَاءَهَا اللهُ، يَنْفُخُ الرُوحَ بعد مائةَ وعشرين يومًا كما وَرَدَ في الحَديثِ.هؤلاءِ الملائِكَةِ المُسَمَّوْنَ في القُرءَانِ المُدَبِرَات قال الله تعالى: ﴿فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا﴾ سورة النازعات / 5. يُدَبِرونَ أُمورَ بَني ءَادَمَ مِنْ غَيرِ أَنْ يَشْعُرَ.

There are angels who are assigned to do things for the Children of Adam (the humans) like growing the plants, and putting the soul in the fetus. Allah ta^ala sends the angel in a specified time. The angel of ar-Rahim (womb), after the time when Allah willed for the woman to get pregnant, puts the soul in the fetus. This angel will blow the soul in the fetus after one hundred twenty days. Also that angel will give the fetus the form of either a male or a female, and the characteristic in which Allah willed for it to be. Moreover, there are the angels, whom were named “al-Mudabbirat” in the Qur’an, they manage the matters of the Children of Adam without them feeling that.

ثُمَّ هُنَّاكَ الحَفَظَة، هم ملائكة وَكَلهُم َ اللهُ ليحفظوا الإنسان، لولا هؤلاء لتقاذفت الجِنُّ بني ءَادَمَ كما تَتقَاذَفُ النَّاسُ الكُرَةَ، قال اللهُ تعالى: ﴿وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ لَحَافِظِينَ، كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ﴾ الإنفطار / 10 – 11.
