Faith in angels is the common pillar and basis of faith in the divine religions, namely Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The fact that the faith in angels is the subject of faith in religions based on revelation is also important in terms of showing that they stem from the same source. On the other hand, faith in angels shows that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) is the Messenger of Allah (swt) and Islam is the last divine religion. This is because in all divine religions, it is emphasized that angels have various responsibilities. Angels are also in charge of the order that Allah (swt) has created in the universe, and they fulfill the task ordered to them in the order of the universe without interruption. The Presidency of Religious Affairs published a work titled “Faith in Angels in Islam”, which explains that faith in angels is one of the fundamental principles of Islam. This work, written by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Nur Akdogan presents information about angels based on religious sources. Islam aims to ensure the happiness of people both in this world and in the Hereafter. To achieve this, it clearly lays out the necessary guidelines to help them find the right path. In this context, one of the beliefs emphasized in the Qur’an is faith in angels. Indeed, a verse clearly highlights that belief in angels is one of the fundamental principles of faith: “ The Messenger (firmly) believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. They (all) believe in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers.” (Baqarah, 2:285)

Faith in angels is also an indication of belief in the ghaib, which is one of the basic characteristics of believers who are faithfully attached to Allah (swt). In this context, the book “Faith in Angels in Islam” discusses topics such as what is an angel, the attributes of angels, certain angels and their duties, and the effects of faith in angels on our lives. Although it is a pillar of faith in itself, faith in angels has a very close connection with other pillars of faith. First of all, faith in angels brings with it faith in Allah (swt) and the order He has placed in the universe. This is because Allah the Almighty (swt) has hidden the perfect functioning of the world behind visible or invisible causes and beings. Thanks to faith in angels, people understand that they were not created to live on earth alone, and it strengthens their belief that angels appointed by Allah (swt) are present with them at all times and in all places. Therefore, we present this valuable work, which elucidates the significance of belief in angels in a clear and accessible manner, to you, our esteemed readers, with the hope that you will find it beneficial.
