Synopsis
Angels take any form they wish in the physical world. As crystal water takes the form of the cup in which it is poured, angels can take the form of any creation which they visit. They do not retain their full original form of light when they are sent to human beings: "Say: If there were in the earth angels walking secure, We had sent down for them from heaven an angel [without change] as messenger" (17:95). Angels can come as birds, as human beings, or as a form of light like a rainbow adorning the sky. They have a mind and a heart, but no will and no desire other than to serve and obey God. They are never too proud to obey Him. Angels worship day and night without fatigue. They do not need to sleep, as their eyes never tire. They know no heedlessness. Their attention never wavers. Their food is glorification of God, their drink is to sanctify and to magnify Him. Their intimacy is in calling their Lord through hymning and singing His praise. Their enjoyment is to serve Him. They are devoid of any and all physiological restraints. They suffer no mood-changes. Angels inhabit Paradise and the seven heavens. They worship more than human beings because they came before them and they have greater and more powerful faculties than they. They are more pious than human beings because they are innocent and unable to fall into mistakes or wrongdoings. They never ask forgiveness for themselves but always for human beings. This shows us how much they care for us and to what extent God created them to look after us. God made them our guardians because a guardian is more perfect than the one he guards. Angels are more knowledgeable than human beings. The teacher, again, is better than the student. Their knowledge is of two kinds: intellectual and traditional. "Intellectual" means here: "of the essence of reality" or "of the heart." "Traditional" means: "revealed and translated down from above."

As a Sufi shaykh, he has been given the authority and permission to guide his followers to the Love of God and to the stations to which they have been destined by their Creator. His arduous spiritual training of forty years at the hands of his grandshaykh, Shaykh Nazim al~Qurbusi, has endowed him with the sublime qualities of wisdom, light, intellect and compassion necessary for a true Master on the Path. He has lectured at many universities in North America, Europe and the Far East and is author of numerous works including The Naqshbandi Sufi Way: History and Guidebook of the Saints of the Golden Chain, and the Pearls and Coral Series: I Need a Guide and Other Talks and Submit to Your Heart and Other Talks. "The traditional Islamic universe is replete with angels who perform various functions in accordance with God's Command and the Noble Quran and Hadith speak often of the angels and their multifarious roles. At the time when interest in angels is being aroused in the West once again, one cannot but welcome heartedly the appearance of this book which speaks with such traditional authority and clarity about angels in the Islamic cosmos and their role and function in various aspects of the daily life of Muslims." ~Seyyed Hossein Nasr.
