Tawhid, Angles, and devine books

According to the Quran, "He is Allah the one and only," Allah neither has a family nor requires
assistance. Quran says:

“No son has he begotten nor has he a partner in his dominion”.

Allah's power is beyond human comprehension. Quran says:

“No vision can grasp him”.

He has control over everything. Allah is the most High, supreme and full of authority. He can see what is
hidden in minds and hearts Surah Ikhlas says:

“There is none like Him”

Shirk is to believe that someone or something is equal to Allah in person, attributes and power. Shirk is
unforgivable and the greatest of all sins. The holy Quran says:

"Whoever joins other gods with Allah-Allah will forbid him the Garden (paradise), and the fire will be his
abode. There will be no help for the wrong doers"

Belief in angels is a fundamental part of faith. Angels are innocent and created from divine light. Angels
are the obedient creation of Allah who always glorify Him. Quran says:

“He does send down His angels with the inspiration of His command”.

Angels come to earth to help people Angels are assigned various duties and responsibilities. Some
angels are: Hazrat Izrael who takes people's souls, Hazrat Israfel that blow the trumpet on the Last Day,
Rizwan who rule over Heaven and Malik over Hell. Kiramann Katibin who write our deeds as Quran says:

“Over you are appointed angels to protect you kind and honorable writing

everything down”.

Munkir and Nakir who will question the dead person in the grave. Hazrat Mikael controls the natural
world, and Hazrat Jibrael, chief of the angels, brought down divine books and revelations.

It is said that Allah Almighty's divine writings serve as human guidance. The message contained in each
of the various divine books was the same as that of the Quran, but people altered those books. The holy
Quran is the only one of the divine books that still exists in its original form. Hazrat Ibrahim got suhuf
which is not a revealed book but some scroll which had Allah's commandments. Hazrat Daud got
Zaboor, Hazrat Musa torah, Hazrat Isa got Bibal. Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It
is the last divine message for everyone. The holy Quran is the final divinely revealed message of Allah
Almighty. It says :

“This is the Book in its guidance”.

Allah says in Quran:

"No doubt, we have sent down this reminder(Quran) and indeed We are its

Guardians"
