Life today is for tomorrow

Islam teaches its followers to say that "there is no god worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the angels.





God


The term Allāh is used by Muslims to refer to the one God while ʾilāh is the term used for a diety or a god in general. Other non-Arab Muslims might use different names as much as Allah, for instance "Tanrı" in Turkish or "Khodā" in Persian.
Islam's fundamental concept is a rigorous monotheism, called tawhīd. God is described in chapter 112 of the Qur'an as: "Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him." (112:1-4) Muslims repudiate the Christian doctrine of the Trinity and divinity of Jesus, comparing it to polytheism but accept Jesus as a prophet. In Islam, God is beyond all comprehension and Muslims are not expected to visualize God. God is described and referred to by certain names or attributes, the most common being al-rahman, meaning "the compassionate" and al-rahim, meaning "the merciful" (See Names of God in Islam).
Muslims believe that the purpose of existence is to worship God. He is viewed as a personal God who states “We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein” and responds whenever a person in need or distress calls Him. There are no intermediaries, such as clergy, between God and thecreation that he brought into being by the sheer command “‘Be’ and it is.”

Angels

Belief in angels is fundamental to the faith of Islam. The Arabic word for angel (malak) means "messenger", like its counterparts in Hebrew (malakh) and Greek (angelos). According to the Qur'an, angels do not possess free will, and worship God in total obedience. Angels' duties include communicating revelations from God, glorifying God, recording every person's actions, and taking a person's soul at the time of death. They are also thought to intercede on man's behalf. The Qur'an describes angels as "messengers with wings—two, or three, or four (pairs): He [God] adds to Creation as He pleases..."
Praise be to Allah, the Creator of heaven and earth, Who made the angels messengers(to manage a variety of business) which has wings, respectively (there are) two, threeand four. He adds to Creation as He wills. Allah has power over all things.
