Angel

• “The people who walk angelically according to their free will and practice discipline in the life of the angels remove themselves completely from the desires of the flesh, beloved brothers; they die daily in the life that belongs to earth, but they live in the life of the angels, just as they share in the life of the Lord.”

• “One angel cannot perform two duties at a time, nor are two angels sent to perform one and the same duty.”

• “We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?”

• “Men would be angels, angels would be gods.”

• “And how many angels are in the heavens, whose intercession avails naught except after Allah gives permission to whom He pleases and chooses. Surely those who believe not in the Hereafter name the angels with female names. And they have no knowledge of it. They follow but conjecture, and surely conjecture avails naught against Truth.”

• “If there is any thing that keeps the mind open to angel visits, and repels the ministry of ill, it is human love.”
