17 ­ Angels and the Devil

The word “angel” associates in many people the “devil” itself. All derivatives of these two
interrelated words are used in the Quran 88 times each. It is interesting to note that the
most frequent form of these two words “es-seytan” and “el-melaike” are used, 68 times each
in the Quran. Two examples for these words:

6- Devil is certainly your enemy


35. Originator, 6

12- Thus, your Lord inspired the Angels.


8. Spoils of War, 12
