A Summary of the Creed of the People of the Sunnah
The Effects of Belief in the Angels
Belief in the angels and their roles yields numerous positive effects.
First among these is loving them and feeling a sense of comfort with them, as they are noble servants
who love the believers and seek forgiveness for them.
Second is the fear, magnification, and veneration of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime,
considering that these angels, despite the power and grandeur of their creation,
fear their Lord and stand in awe of Him.
How much more so, then, should frail, helpless man?
Third is feeling a sense of shyness and modesty before Allah and the noble recording angels,
who never leave the servant and strictly count his deeds,
such that the servant feels ashamed that they should witness him falling into acts of disobedience against Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, which he ought not to commit.
Fourth,
attaining reassurance and steadfastness during times of trials and jihad,
knowing that Allah fortifies the believers through the angels who fight alongside them.
