Ask Qul - Islamic QA

Pearl of Wisdom

In describing the Angels, the Imam said 'They are the most knowledgeable of Your creation about You, the most fearful of You and the closest to You. They did not come from loins nor did they enter wombs; they were not created from worthless liquid; they were not dispersed by vicissitudes of time. They are on their places [distinct] from You and in their positions near You. Their desires are concentrated in You. Their worship for You is very much. Their neglect from Your command is little. If they were to witness what remains hidden about You, they would belittle their actions.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

Nahj al-Baldgha, Sermon 109
