Magnificent Services of the Just Imam, the Promised Messiah as , to Reform the Mutual Controversies and Distorted Beliefs of the Muslims [ 16 ] Absurd Concept About Angels Their concept about the angels is so absurd that one wonders what kind of Islam they are presenting to the world! Here is an example of the belief they present about the angels: Allah the Almighty selected two very pious angels named Harut and Marut. … These were not ordinary angels; rather, Allah selected them because of their worship and piety. Allah favoured them because of their eminence compared to others. The quotation continues: …Allah inculcated all the human desires in them and sent them to Babylon, a place in the valley of Kufa. They then were entrapped in the love of a Parsi woman named Zuhrah. … Just imagine the extent to which the writer goes in giving his description about the woman, her cast and the love scandal. Their account continues: …She lured them into drinking, and while intoxicated they committed fornication, apostasy and murder …. On account of their sins, they will be inflicted with numerous types of punishment until the Day of Judgment. ( Tafs i r A h sanut-Taf a s i r , vol. 1, p. 108, written by Maul a n a Ahmad Hasan
