Belief in the existence of angels is one of the fundamental articles of faith in Islam. Muslims believe that angels were created by God from
light. Angels carry out God's commandments in nature and the universe. What we usually call the "forces of nature" become active because of
the presence of angels behind them, working at the command of God.
Angels belong to a level of existence beyond the perceptible world of phenomena, called `alam al-ghayb. As God's creatures living within the physical world of mundane reality, we humans cannot overstep its confines; nor can we visualize beings that exist outside of it. Muslims believe in the existe
With regard to the many statements in the Quran concerning the sea, some of these facts were not discovered until very recently, and
many of them are still unknown. For example, these facts were discovered after hundreds of marine stations had been set up, and after
images had been taken by satellites. The one who said this was Professor Schroeder, one of the greatest oceanographers in West
Germany. He used to say that if science advanced, religion would have to retreat. But when he heard the translation of the verses of the
Quran, he was stunned and said, "These could not be the words of a human being." And Professor Dorjaro, a professor

I felt that an editorial would be most suited for this topic. Let me begin by saying that the way Osama Bin Laden has stereotyped Islam is appalling. I have studied Islam for three years and I know it is a religion of peace and I am fascinated by it.
