Mala'ika - Angels in Islam (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781950743223)

This book analyzes the many views of the Mala'ika-or angels-in the Islamic faith, the nature and functions of angels, and how a belief in angels is among Islam's six principal Articles of Faith. The work deeply examines the most important angels, Jibril (Gabriel), who delivered the message of Al-Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad, and further examines the other archangels and their relationships to Allah. The role of angels in the earliest Islamic battles is studied, along with the central role of angels in Muslim art and the roles played by the Jinn in relation to humans.
