BELIEF IN ANGELS IS ESSENTIAL وا مَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلِّ وَآمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَكتيكيه وكتبه. وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ، وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ. This Messenger of Ours believes in that which has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers: all of them believe in Allah, and in His angels, and in His. Books, and in His Messengers, saying, “We make no distinction between any of His Messengers': and they say, 'we hear, and we obey. We implore Thy forgiveness, o our Lord, and to Thee is the returning'. (2:286) 75 لَّيْسَ الْبِرَّ أَن تُوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَلَكِنَّ الْبِرَّ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَالْمَلَكَةِ وَالْكِتَبِ وَالنَّبِيِّنَ ai. It is not righteousness that you turn your faces to the East or the West, but truly righteous is he who believes in. Allah and the Last Day and the angels and the Books and the Prophets. (2:178)
