The World of the Noble Angels (Vol. 2)

The World of the Noble Angels by Dr. ’Umar Sulaiman al-Ashqar is Volume 2 of the Islamic Creed Series, and it gives the angels the fuller treatment a single pillar of faith rarely gets: their origin, their nature, and their place in a believer’s life from conception to the Day of Judgement.

What the Book Covers

From the moment of conception, angels record a person’s deeds; at death, an angel draws out the soul; in the grave, angels question the dead; on the Last Day, an angel sounds the Trumpet, and angels attend the Judgement itself. Al-Ashqar draws all of this together from the Qur’an and Sunnah into a single, coherent picture of who the angels are and what they do — and sets it explicitly against the myths that have attached themselves to angels across cultures, from the pre-Islamic Arabs’ belief that angels were daughters of Allah to their reinvention as a pop-culture motif today.

Who This Book Is For

Readers who want the angels explained the way revelation describes them, rather than through folklore or fiction.
