It is also an obligation on the Muslim to believe that the angels never disobey Allah, Allah ta^ala said:
﴿لا يَعصُونَ اللهَ مَا أَمَرَهُم وَيَفعَلُونَ مَا يُؤمَروُنَ﴾
Verse 6 of Surat at-Tahrim means: “They do not disobey Allah in what He orders them (to do), and they do exactly what they were ordered.”
It means that they are engaged in obedience ever since Allah ta^ala created them.
أما من حيث الصورةِ فهم ذوي أجنحة، قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالى: ﴿الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أَجْنِحَةٍ مَثْنَى وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَاءُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ﴾ فاطر / ۱.
ثم من شأن الملائكة أنهم إن تصوروا بصور بني ءادم يظهرون بصور الرجال من غير ءالة الذكورة لا يتشكلون بصور الإناث، والملائكة ليسوا إناثًا ومن قال عنهم إنهم إناث فقد كفر. العرب القدماء كانوا يقولون الملائكة إِناث، كانوا يقولونَ لنا الذَكَرُ وَلَهُ الأُنثى لا يجوزُ تصويرُ الملائِكَةُ بِشَكلِ الإِناث كما يُصَّوِرُ البَعضُ فوق صورةِ سيدنا عيسى عليهِ السلام، قال الله تعالى: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ الْأُنْثَى﴾النجم / 27.
The Angels, in form, have wings. Allah said in the Qur’an:
﴿الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أَجْنِحَةٍ مَثْنَى وَثُلَاثَ وَرُبَاعَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا يَشَاءُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ﴾ فاطر / ۱.
Verse 1 of Surat Fatir means: “Praise be to Allah, Who created the skies and the earth, Who made the angels, messengers with wings, – two, or three, or four pairs: He adds to Creation as He wills: For Allah has power over all things.”
Moreover, if the angels take the shape of a human, they would appear in the shape of men, however, without the genital organ. Angels do not take the form of females; the one who believes that the angels are females commits blasphemy. The ancient Arabs used to say: The angels are females. They used to say: We got the males and God got the females. It is not permissible to make images of females and say that they are the angels as some people do when they put such images above what they say that it is the image of our Master ^Isa (Jesus). Allah said in Surat an-Najm, Verse 27:
﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ لَيُسَمُّونَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَسْمِيَةَ الْأُنْثَى﴾
It means: “Those who do not believe in the hereafter are those who name the angels with feminine names, (i.e., believe that they are female.)”
