Selected Verses of the Holy Quran (Portuguese Translation)

Angels

The word has the literal meaning of a message-bearer or agent. This explains the object of the creation of angels. They bring messages of God and execute His will in the universe. Thus angels are a part of the physical and the spiritual worlds. In the spiritual worlds the influence of the angels is direct and works without any intervening agency. Disbelief in angels would therefore mean shutting off the avenue through which the light of God comes to man. 

• 2:286. This Messenger of OURS believes in that which has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers; all of them believe in ALLAH, and in HIS angels, and in HIS Books, and in HIS Messengers, saying, `We make no distinction between any of HIS Messengers;' and they say `We have heard and we are obedient. Our Lord, we implore THY forgiveness, and to Thee is the returning.'
