The Nature of Prophethood * |
|
In Islam, extremism in any form is generally discouraged. This includes going to the extreme of revering prophets to the point of deification. The Qur'an refers to the Islamic view that contradicts the concept of the existence of a half-man, half-God kind of prophet.
Islam also refuses the extreme on the other end of the reverence spectrum in which prophets are accused of committing cardinal sins that affect their faith or moral character.

Angels in Islam: Creatures of Light
|
|
Belief in the existence of angels is one of the fundamental articles of faith in Islam. Muslims believe that angels were created by God from light. Angels carry out God’s commandments in nature and the universe. What we usually call the “forces of nature” become active because of the presence of angels behind them, working at the command of God. |
