102 Belief in angels is a part of the Islamic
religion. Man can discover God by
observing creations, but how can he
discover angels?
he quantum theory made inferential argument as
Tvalid as direct argument. For example, subatomic
particles are not visible and can be known only through
their effects. Their effects lead scientists to conclude
that subatomic particles do exist. The same argument is
applicable to religious matters. That is, although we do
not see angels directly, we can believe in them indirectly
by their effects.
How do things around us function? How does
photosynthesis take place in the leaves? How does cow
take in grass and make milk? How does the salty water
of seas get converted into fresh water in the rain? How
is everything in nature so systematic? These effects
would lead to an inference that there is someone who
is controlling all these natural processes. God has His
angles positioned to take care of these processes. One
may say that these processes are ‘automatic processes’ or
‘self-occurring processes’, but I would say these are just
another name of ‘angelic processes’. Someone may use
the word ‘automatic’, I use the word ‘angelic’. Thus, the
concept remains the same.
