Angels are the hope of humanity.
They are the source of light and the energy of creation.
They are the beacons for every seeker, the oasis in every desert,
the waves in every ocean, the spring of every river, the crystal in every
diamond.
They are the dew from heaven on every leaf.
They are the life in every drop of blood in animate beings, the motion
behind every living cell.
They are the driving force of constellations and galaxies.
They are the stars and suns and moons in every firmament.
The universes swim in their orbits. They are the superpowers known by all
traditions, beliefs, and philosophies.
It is universally known, based on these sources, that God created the angels to carry out His orders and transmit the messages that pertain to human beings. Angels are honored, subtle beings created from light who serve their Lord. They exemplify the qualities of perfection, obedience, and dedication. They can take any form they like at any time and place. They carry unlimited miraculous powers through which they can reach anyone in the blink of an eye to help and to heal, to serve and to console, to love and to be loved.
Angels take any form they wish in the physical world. As crystal water
takes the form of the cup in which it is poured, angels can take the form
of any creation which they visit. They do not retain their full original
form of light when they are sent to human beings: "Say: If there were
in the earth angels walking secure, We had sent down for them from heaven
an angel [without change] as messenger" . Angels can come as birds,
as human beings, or as a form of light like a rainbow adorning the sky.
They have a mind and a heart, but no will and no desire other than to serve
and obey God . They are never too proud to obey Him.
Angels worship day and night without fatigue. They do not need to sleep, as their eyes never tire. They know no heedlessness. Their attention never wavers. Their food is glorification of God, their drink is to sanctify and to magnify Him. Their intimacy is in calling their Lord through hymning and singing His praise. Their enjoyment is to serve Him. They are devoid of any and all physiological restraints. They suffer no mood-changes.
Angels inhabit Paradise and the seven heavens. They worship more than human
beings because they came before them and they have greater and more powerful
faculties than they. They are more pious than human beings because they
are innocent and unable to fall into mistakes or wrongdoings. They never
ask forgiveness for themselves but always for human beings. This shows
us how much they care for us and to what extent God created them to look
after us. God made them our guardians because a guardian is more perfect
than the one he guards.
Angels in the Bible
Revelation 14:6
"And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the
everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to
every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people."
Should We Worship The Angels - pray to them, talk to them as if they are
God?
God says "No!"
Colossians 2:18
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping
of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed
up by his fleshly mind, …
Revelation 19:10; 22:9
And I fell at his feet to worship him, And he said unto me, See thou
do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have testimony
of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Then he saith unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of
this book: worship God.
