al-Taliqat al-Mukhtasarah ala Matn al-Aqidah al-TahawiyyahSalih Al-Fawzan

We believe in the Noble Recording Angels, for Allah has appointed them as watchers over us—
—
As for the people of innovation and misguidance, they deem it lawful to rebel against those in authority; this is the doctrine of the Khārijites, and we declare before Allah our innocence of it.

Belief in the angels is one of the pillars of faith. These fundamentals are set forth in the Quran: “But righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Book and the prophets…” (al-Baqarah 2:177); and: “The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, as do the believers. Each of them believes in Allah, His angels, His Books, and His messengers…” (al-Baqarah 2:285).

Accordingly, we affirm that the angels are a creation of Allah, that they belong to the unseen realm and are invisible to us. Allah created them from light (1) and has entrusted them with tasks which they carry out unerringly, each assigned a specific duty. Despite all this, they worship Allah without pause: “They glorify Him night and day without tiring” (al-Anbiyāʾ 21:20); “Honoured servants— they do not speak ahead of Him, and they act only on His command” (al-Anbiyāʾ 21:26–27).

The angels comprise various orders; among them are:

• The guardians: those whom Allah has charged with protecting the children of Adam and recording their deeds. Every human being is accompanied day and night by four of them—two guardians, one on his right and one on his left. The one on the right

(1) Aisha reported that the Messenger of Allah said: “The angels were created from light, the jinn from a smokeless flame of fire, and Adam from what has already been described to you.” Recorded by Muslim, no. 2996.
ونؤمن بالكرام الكاتبين، فإن الله قد جعلهم علينا حافظين: ــ أما أهل البدع والضلال فيرون الخروج على ولاة الأمور، وهذا مذهب الخوارج، ونحن نبرأ إلى الله من هذا المذهب. الإيمان بالملائكة ﵈ هو أحد أركان الإيمان. وهذه الأصول موجودة في القرآن (ولكن البر من آمن بالله واليوم الآخر والملائكة والكتاب والنبيين...) [البقرة: ١٧٧] ، (آمن الرسول بما أنزل إليه من ربه والمؤمنون كل آمن بالله وملائكته وكتبه ورسله) [البقرة: ٢٨٥] فنؤمن بالملائكة وأنهم خلق من خلق الله، وأنهم من عالم الغيب، لا نراهم، خلقهم الله من نور (١) ، ووكل إليهم أموراً، يقومون بتنفيذها والقيام بها، كل له عمل موكل به، ومع ذلك فهم يعبدون الله ﷿ لا يفترون (يسبحون الليل والنهار لا يفترون) [الأنبياء: ٢٠] ، (عباد مكرمون*لا يسبقونه بالقول وهم بأمره يعملون) [الأنبياء: ٢٦، ٢٧] وهم أقسام، ومن أقسامهم: الحفظة: وهم الذين وكل الله إليهم حفظ بني آدم، وحفظ أعمالهم، فكل عبد من بني آدم معه أربعة يحفظونه بالليل والنهار، اثنان حفظة، واحد عن اليمين وواحد عن اليسار، الذي عن اليمين
