Angels are a basic tenet of belief for all Muslims, appearing in various types and genres of text, from eschatology to law and theology to devotional material. This book examines the role of angels in Islam and includes translations of relevant hadith. By providing selected translations of the hIadAth in this collection, the majority of which have never been translated before, along with an analysis of the material it contains, the book thoroughly explores Islamic angelology within this work. From this it is possible to begin to investigate beliefs about angels in the wider hIadAth literature and in the Islamic tradition more generally, enabling the study of angels in Islam to be broadened beyond the relatively narrow scope currently seen in modern scholarship. |
