Concerning the fact that all bounties and merits of existence originate from His Exalted Being, the Qur’a-n says: “(All) praise belongs to Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, …” The Qur’a-nic word /fa-t?ir/ is derived from /fut?u-r/ originally means ‘to cleave’ and since the creation of creatures is like cleaving the darkness of nothingness and it is the appearance of the light of existence, this meaning has been used in relation to creation particularly in regarding to the modern science which says that at the beginning the totality of the world of existence had been a single mass which has gradually split and some parts have separated from it.

The application of the word Fa-t?ir for the Pure Essence of Allah produces a new and clearer concept. Yes, we do praise Him for His creative Power, because whatever exists is from His side and none has anything from him except Allah.

And in view of the fact that the management of this world, because of the fact that this world is the world of means, has been given to the angels, the verse immediately speaks about their creation and the considerable power that Allah, the Almighty, has bestowed on them. It says: “… Who appointed the angels messengers having wings two, three, and four.

…” Then the verse continues saying: “… He adds to creation what He pleases; verily Allah is All-Powerful over every thing.” Allah (s.w.t.) adds to the creation whatever His Will and His Wisdom require including wings and other things. In this regard, the verse is absolute and it contains any kind of adding, irrespective of tallness of the body, moderation in face and bodily power and good intellect, and other merits.

📌Some of the commentators say that the purpose of ‘adding to creation’ is: beautiful face, nice voice, and fair hair. Note: There are many verses in the Qur’a-n that are about the angels’ attributes, specialties, missions, and duties. Even the Qur’a-n has considered the faith in angels in the row of the faith in Allah, prophets, and heavenly Books, and this is an evidence upon the fundamental importance of this subject.

The Holy Qur’a-n says: “The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. (They) all believe in Allah, His angels, His Books and His messengers.
