The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Do the Shayatin (devils) fight alongside the disbelievers? And do the angels descend in our present time to support the Muslims?
The Shaykh:
The Shayatin (devils) fight alongside the disbelievers? I do not know; this is not established. Rather, they incite the disbelievers and then abandon them, for they are an enemy; they are an enemy to the children of Adam. How can they support them when they are their enemy? And this is not established: that the Shayatin (devils) fight alongside the disbelievers. They are more cowardly and more base than that. They only entangle the children of Adam and then abandon them. This is his question. The second question:
The questioner:
He asks: Do the angels descend in our present time to support the believers?
The Shaykh:
We have previously stated that Allah supports the believers with angels, but not in the same way He supported the Messengers. Yes.
