Religion. Discuss ( or should that be argue )

Can you explain to someone (me!) who has never seen (or otherwise experienced) an 'angel' what form they take or what they do ?

(just trying to get an idea of quite what you mean by the idea that there are 'angels' amongst us doing 'god's work')

Angels appear in christian and islamic beliefs, you are familiar with the Archangel Gabriel?

well he is considered to be the the most important, and the only one who gets closest to God. His appearance to the Virgin Mary (Annunication) and Prophet Mohammed (revealing the words of Allah) which in turn became the Qu'ran are just two examples. I don't confess to seeing angels, i don't need to prove their existence, but i understand their purpose.. as celestial beings here to guide us, as messengers of God.

Another example. All muslims are taught that everyone possesses two angels. one on each shoulder. throughout there lives muslims are expected to greet them, acknowledge them, respect them, these angels never judge only observe and record each deed, one book for good, one for bad. when muslims die, these books are compared, and then that muslim is judged in their life to whether they go to cycling heaven or scrapheap hell.

I never feel alone, never truly alone, even if i haven't seen anyone all day, that inner peace is what keeps me strong. every challenge i face i do without fear. Every failure and success, is a test or a lesson, and some have been monumental. in fact humility is a powerful asset.

This is why I have belief. I don't confess to being muslim but i do understand how its teachings work. There is a greater love out there, you use your heart to find it.
