<b>"Praise be to Allaah.

Belief in angels is one of the six pillars of belief or faith without which there is no faith. Whoever does not believe in any of these pillars is not a believer (mu’min). These pillars are belief in: Allaah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and that predestination, both good and bad, comes from Allah.


Angels are a part of the world of the Unseen which we cannot comprehend. Allah has told us about them in many places in the Qur’aan and via His Prophet Muhammad . There follows a number of proven reports concerning the angels, which hopefully will make you realize the greatness of the Creator and the greatness of this religion which has told us so much about them:


Of what are they created?


They are created from light, as ‘Aa’ishah reported: "The Messenger of Allah said: ‘The angels are created from light, just as the jinn are created from smokeless fire and mankind is created from what you have been told about.’" (Reported by Muslim, no. 2996).


When were they created?


We have no knowledge of precisely when they were created, because there is no text to tell us this. But they were created before mankind for certain, because the Qur’aan says (interpretation of the meaning): "Behold, your Lord said to the angels: ‘I will create a vicegerent on earth.’ . . ." [al-Baqarah 2:30] The fact that Allah told them of His intention to create man indicates that they already existed."


This is a quote from an article by Sheikh Mohamad Salih El-Munajjid about the angels, the rest of the article is below:

With reservations to what is mentioned about angels Haaroot and Maaroot, our scholar told us that angels are made of light, they are not like humans, they will not sin, and that the jews mentioned that false story about the angels just like they falsified many facts, the story about the two angels mentioned in tafseer Ibn Katheer, is different and Ibn katheer mentioned that the ahadeeth about the angels sining are da'eef and ghareeb. Below the explanation of the story of Haroot and maroot According to Ibn Katheer:
