The Death of the Angels and Reconciling the Statement That They Do Not Die with the Hadith of Israfil
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a question from the women’s section. The questioner says: I heard one of the shaykhs say, in his explanation of one of the books of creed, that the angels do not die. This confused me because I heard a hadith in which Allah the Exalted says to Israfil, “Bring out your soul,” and that is after all creation has died, including the angels. How do I reconcile these two things?
Answer:
The one who says that the angels do not die, where is his evidence?[Ali 'Imran 3:185], where is his evidence that the angels do not die? It is not permissible to speak about such matters without valid evidence from Allah and His Messenger, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
