                       3. Angels Descend to Earth and Ascend to Allah's

                  Presence
                       Belief in angels is one of Islam's fundamental tenets of
                  faith. The Qur'an contains some information about these en-
                  tities: They constantly praise and glorify Allah, do what He
                  tells them to do perfectly and fully, have sincerely submit-
                  ted to Him, and inhabit a dimension that is not bound by
                  time and space. As regards this last point, consider the fol-
                  lowing verses:
                       [This punishment is] From Allah – the Lord of the
                       Ascending Steps. The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him
                       in a day whose length is fifty thousand years. (Surat al-
                       Ma'arij:3-4)

                       The expression "a day whose length is fifty thousand
                  years" shows that angels are not bound by the human con-
                  cept of time. Furthermore, it is a proof that there is a life be-
                  yond this concept, one that does not resemble the life in this
                  world and is not bound by the concepts of time or space. It
                  is very possible that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is living in
                  such a dimension. (Allah knows the truth.)
                       The fact that Allah sends angels to Earth to perform
                  specific tasks shows that there is a transition between the
                  human and other dimensions. Some of their tasks are to
                  transmit Allah's revelations to human beings and to help
                  and support believers:

                       And when you asked the believers: "Is it not enough for you
