?The second tenet of faith for Muslims
is belief in angels.
?Angels are conscious beings who are
created from noor(light), hence they
do not eat or drink as humans do.
?The Prophet Muhammad said 7KH
angels are created from light, just as
the jinn are created from smokeless
fire and mankind is created from what
you have been told about." [Muslim].
?Angels are genderless, neither male
nor female.
?Consequently, they do not reproduce.

?How does God know the future
events?
?God Almighty knows everything
past, present and future because
he is not bound by space and time.
?He was there before space and
time was created by Him.
?The freedom from space and time
gives God a unique perspective.
?For example, I may be standing on
a high rise building and hence I am
able to see greater distance than
people on the ground.

?I see a train approaching the train station 2
km away and inform the people waiting in
the station below that the train will come
exactly 15 minutes later assuming that I
am able to calculate the speed and
distance precisely.
?If the train comes at that time is it because
I said so?
?No, it was going to come anyway.
?The train in the distance was present to me
because of my higher vantage point, but it
was the future for the people on the
ground.
?In a similar way, what is future to us is like
the present to God as he is not bound by
space and time.

?In Islam, God creates both good and evil;
?However, evil is executed as a
consequence of human choice.
?Creation of evil or allowing evil to happen
is not evil, but choosing evil is evil.
?If humans have choice, they must have
the option of evil otherwise there would
not be any difference between humans
and angels.
?Our good actions are more valuable
because of the possibility of evil.
?Responsibility and accountability is
attached to the freedom of choice.
?In this way God, manifests His justice and
compassion.
