The Shaykh :"And among the fruits of faith in the angels, first: knowledge of the greatness of their Creator, Blessed and Exalted is He, and His power and authority".
Yes. Knowledge of the greatness of Allah, because the greatness of the created being indicates what? It indicates the greatness of the Creator, necessarily. The angels (peace be upon them) are strong in everything, even in the abode of punishment:[At-Tahrim 66:6] severe in nature, strong in body, powerful [At-Tahrim 66:6]. Likewise, all the other angels are strong. [Al-Anbya 21:19-20] Who among humans can do this? No one can. So, if you know their strength and greatness, you infer from this knowledge the greatness of their Creator. Jibril (may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon him) was seen by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the form in which he was created, twice: once on earth and once in the sky. How many wings did he have? Six hundred wings, filling the horizon. Six hundred wings is no small matter, yes, filling the horizon. And he is just one angel among the angels of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So what about the other angels?
So, faith in the angels necessitates faith in what? In the greatness of the Creator (Mighty and Majestic), because the strength of the created being indicates the strength of the Creator.

over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe
عليها ملائكة غلاظ شدادthey do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.
لا يعصون الله ما أمرهم ويفعلون ما يأمرونAnd those near Him are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, nor do they tire. (20) They exalt [Him] night and day [and] do not slacken.
ومن عنده لا يستكبرون عن عبادته ولا يستحسرون يسبحون الليل والنهار لا يفترونSo, faith in the angels necessitates faith in what? In the greatness of the Creator (Mighty and Majestic), because the strength of the created being indicates the strength of the Creator.
