The Reality of the Angels and the Philosophers' Interpretations
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The visitor says: In some countries, the ruler’s imam rules in a way that contradicts [the truth].
Answer:
I fear that the questioner is not [clear] regarding the meanings, the meanings in the light, meanings in which some say that the angels are not entities but rather meanings that occur in the mind. This is the speech of the philosophers and the atheists. And as I mentioned to you, the author of *Al-Manar* mentioned this opinion about our Shaykh Muhammad 'Abd al-Haqq, and it is a false statement. The angels are entities and luminous bodies created from light, and they have wings. How can they be meanings? But these people do not believe in the Other; they interpret this in a manner, may Allah protect us from it, a false interpretation because they do not believe in the Other. Yes.
