Abstract

The present study tackled an important doctrinal subject that talks about the angels' care of Man. Talking about such subject, as we know, must be referred to the evidences of the Holy Qura'an and the honorable Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), and there is no way to express an opinion relating to this subject because what we talk about are metaphysical things. To support this subject, we should return to the Creed books, in addition to the interpretation books that explain the verses that talk about the angels. The purpose of this study is to explain the relationship between the angels and the Man at all stages of the Man's life starting from his being a fetus in the mother's womb until his death. The research shows that there are two types of angels, the first type are the closest, whose duty is restricted to the God's worship and sanctification and not serving Man. The other type are those whose duty is to serve the Man (this concerns my research topic) such as their presence when Man was created, guard him, monitor him, preserved and written his works and his hardship and the demise of his soul when he is gone. Concerning the angels' relationship with the believing Man, they love believers and this love represents their prayer and forgiveness for Man, as well as their supporting and fighting with Man in wars and witness his funeral. As for the infidels, they curse them and curse those who transgress God and His Messenger's orders, and the punishment shall come down upon them by the command of God. Our duty includes believing in angels because it is ( one of the pillars of faith ), which means the origin of faith which has great effects and it represents how we thank God for his care of us, and according to the command of God, those angels save and protect us.
