92. What kind of beings are angels?
Angels are beings who never err in their duty to Allah and
live in a different dimension from that of human beings. Unlike
people, angels are not created to be tested. Allah created them
as faultless beings. Allah has assigned each one of them differ-
ent tasks which they perform with precision. Gabriel has the
duty of communicating the revelations of Allah to His prophets.
There are writer angels on either side of every individual who
write down everything he does. There are angels appointed to
take a man’s soul at the time of death. And there are the
demons of Hell, angels who are responsible for making sure
that the inmates of Hell suffer the greatest punishment.
Allah states that angels are servants to Him:

Christ would never disdain to be a servant to Allah, nor
would the angels near to Him... (Surat an-Nisa’: 172)
Allah bears witness that there is no Deity but Him, as do
the angels and the sages. He is the Executor of justice.
There is no Deity but Him, the Almighty, the All-Wise.
(Surat Al ‘Imran: 18)

93. How can we define time?

Time can be defined as a method by which one moment
is compared to another. Let us explain this with an example.
For instance, if anyone taps an object, he hears a particular
sound. When he taps the same object five minutes later, he
hears another sound. He perceives at that point that there is
an interval between the first sound and the second and he
calls this interval time.
