11 Muharram, 1436
Duties of Angels
Angels have various duties, with each having a well-defined role. "And
there is not any among us, except that he has a known position. And we
are indeed the ones who are arranged in ranks for prayer. And we are
indeed the ones who glorify Allah"
(Sura Al-saffat, 37:164-166)
Angels thus teach us the benefits of specialization. So, in the Islamic society, some members musts specialize in the Qu'ran and its sciences, some in Hadith sciences, others in medicine, still others in agriculture and soon and so forth, so that the Muslim community becomes efficient and well balanced. Similarly, in the home, the responsibilities are divided. While the man is responsible primarily for supporting the family financially, the woman has an important role in upbringing the children, although she is by no means confined to only this task.
Only Allah (SWT) knows all the details and roles of all the angels: "And none know the hosts of your Lord except He"
(Sura Al-Muddathir, 74:31)
Nevertheles, He has told us about some of these angels through the Qu'ran and Sunnah.
