Angels of Allah

These are the authentic names of Angels, all of the other names we hear of Israel and etc...

These names are either based on:

1. Israeli traditions- traditions taken out of the Bible biblical sources

2. Weak narrations-
Fabricated narrations or they have been simply common folklore names which have been chosen

Now, with regards to the abilities of the Angels

We are informed that they are able to read human intent(intention)

They are able to understand what is going on in human mind

Prophet Muhamma(PBUH) was quoted by Abu Huraira saying:

The Angels say to Allah that man intends to do evil

Although He is more vigilent than them

He replies: Watch him if he commits evil report it in kind.

But if he abandons it record for him one good deed for surely he gave it up for my sake

So they have the ability to read human mind

And virtually all of the movements and activities which take place in the world

Are under their commander, under their control or under their influence

And this is deduced from many verses in the Qur'an

And other verses where Allah's command

Throughout the creation because everything is by His command as you know

He assigned to the Angels

He also assigned to every human being

From the time that they are formed in the womb

Till the time of their birth

Prophet Muhammad (SWS) was quoted by Anas Ibn Malik saying:

Allah the Exalted and Glorious has appointed an Angel as the caretaker of the womb that says "my Lord it is like an oily drop"

"my Lord it is now like a leech"

"my Lord it has become like a clump of chewed flesh"

Then if Allah wishes to complete its' creation the Angel will ask:

"my Lord, will it be male or female?"

Furthermore

We have another narration from Abdullah Ibn Masod

That when the fetus reaches the beginning of the 5th month

The Angel breathes the soul into him

At that same time

4 things are recorded

Besides that each person has an Angel assigned to him

Who may vary, not necessarily the same Angel all the time but an Angel is with him throughout his life

Encouraging him to do good and guarding him from evil. This is part of the human conscience

Every human being has a consciousness of good and evil

And we will look at the evil side when we come to the world of the jinn

Prophet Muhammad (SWS) said everyone of you has been assigned companion from among the jinn and one from the Angels

So these Angels who are with us encourage us to do good and put good suggestions in our minds

And counteract the evil suggestions which will come from the evil source of the jinn

There are also two Angels who are assigned to recording deeds. These are the ones most people know about

We can find in Surah Infitar verses 10 & 11

That verily there is assigned to you protectors or guardians, guardians who are noble and who record, your deeds

Outside of this we have Angels throughout our life span

These Angels who are with us recording they are constantly with us

The Angels which are assigned as support to us and put good thoughts in our mind, sometimes these Angels may leave us

Prophet Muhammad (SWS) said that Angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or pictures of statues of living beings

Because the Angels that are recording will not leave you at any time

So we shouldn't think that some people migt ignorantly feel that they can avoid their record being take place you know things deeds being recorded if they keep a dog with them all the time you know

At any case

With regards to a person dying

An Angel is also assigned to take the soul at the time of death

And when the person dies that soul is passed over to the Angels in the next life

And the Angels who receive that soul take the soul on a particular journey

Allah knows best about this journey

It's enough to know that the Angel takes our soul in the next life, and takes it on a journey then two other Angels will come back to it whilst it's in the grave

In that state of the grave and question it concering it's Lord, the Prophet, who was sent to it and its' religion

And that basically summarizes the basic information that has been revealed to us concerning the Angels

And the significance of knowledge of the world of the Angels

Is basically for human beings to know that all of their deeds are being recorded
