Angels as Helpers

Argument 7:

The verses (41:30-31) say:

“Verily the angels descend on those who say: Our Lord is God, and then remain steadfast, saying: Do not fear, nor grieve, but hear good tidings of the Paradise which you are promised. We are your helpers in the life of the world and in the Hereafter”.

These wisdom-filled verses reveal the reality that, by the command of God, the angels help and support the mu’mins. For God is the Absolute Sovereign and to accomplish the affairs of the universe, He has created means and for every matter one or more means are provided. He only commands and all physical and spiritual means work. Thus, for spiritual and physical help also, He has created means and whatever help is received from them is called God’s help. For the means of this help is indeed provided by Him.
