Has Allah retired his Angels?

[sum]

If a wife denies her husband ex she will be cursed by Angels all night. How will the wife know that she is being cursed? Will she hear or see the Angels?

Angels are claimed by the Koran to help muslims in battle - Koran 8:12.

Are Angels still performing these tasks? I ask because there is no mention of this happening.

Perhaps these Islamic Angels only appeared and existed in the times of myth, legend and superstition and as society evolved these Angels seem to have disappeared. Did any muslims actually see Angels strike necks in battle? Where did their swords come from and go to?

Have they retired?

[Gabriel]

No, speaking for myself, I have gone on strike. I got all the dud jobs, goodness sake.

First I get sent to some hill billies new the dead sea to warn them that their towns will get destroyed, and would you believe it, some of them wanted to get frisky with me... And I am not even gay.

Then I have to play matchmaker with some woman called Mary, embarrassing....

and then I get sent to some idiot in a cave to get him to read something, but he was too stupid to read. So I let him go. And you know what? I get told off for that and I have to go back to him teaching him the text. That did not work either, he got all confused, and sometimes he added bits from his own imagination. That guy really was the pits. But his followers were even worse... if someone tells you he needs to have sex with some kid because God said so, seriously, you would believe him?

I told HIM (you know, my boss) he can stick his job after that. I have mainly been relaxing in sunny places since, but every now and then some loony comes along and says I told him this that or the other.... None of that is true, but I have been "investigated" many times since, and I am on the suspect list I think....

Indeed, they seem to have retired and been replaced by the U.S. Air Force or even better, the US Navy Blue Angels!

In the O.T (Isaiah 37:36), Yahweh needed only one angel to kill 185,000 Assyrian troops, while in Islam (Quran 3: 125) Allah needed 5000 angels to help 313 Muslims fight against 1000 Quraishites but only 70 people were killed.

This means God of Israel has a stronger and powerful Angels than the Islamic Angels sent by Allah.

When Islamic soldiers attacked Jews in Khaybar, why did Yahweh not send His powerful Angels to help them?

Good one, SAM! Have a good day. It is early morning here.

Zaheer, Sam's timezone matches Perth, Australia.

Also. do you believe in angels actually fighting battles? Isaiah INTERPRETED a seemingly miraculous escape from certain defeat as divine intervention and the "angel" was the "agent". I posted a thread once on the history of "angels" and the way they changed through history, if case that interest you.

The thing about angels in Islam is, as pretty much all we know about Mohammed is not 7th century, but 9th century, and then only from oral tradition which tend to get embroidered over time it is difficult to work out fact from fiction. The various "angels" fighting with the Muslims will most likely be later elaborations of older stories.

No they have not retired - rather they are too busy with having 72 virgins & nightly orgies.

When were Angels last recorded fighting in battle to support muslims?

I think that all Angels "disappeared" after Muhammad died. I am sure that this was because of the dispute between those who supported Au Bakr and those who supported Ali. This confused the Angels and as Allah had also died(he was only Muhammad`s alt ego) there was no-one to guide the Angels. The Angels are still sitting on the side lines as the Sunnis and Shia are fighting and they do not know who to support. Perhaps the Angels support ISIS. Who knows?

I think that Muhammad`s Angels served him well in his lust for power, wealth and women but I claim that they are no more. The myth might remain but the Angels do not.

WTF. Where do you get these bizarre references. post the link to the original HB and let me see the source of your hallucination.

Maybe we need to ask - why is it Muslims have been losing ground to the west for past 150 years. hile Jews & Christians are getting stronger - Muslims are geting weaker & weaker. More Muslim die at the hand of another Muslim then any other non-Muslims.

Religion of Allah, Islam is getting stronger and stronger pervading the whole world, unlike Christianity which is slowly dying and Judaism is limited to Jews, not to Gentiles.

The part you ask about is in the text you quoted, near the bottom.

So SAM (unusually) did not make up the quote entirely, but he did his usual tiresome thing of not looking at the rest of the text. Jerusalem is being attacked bu the Assyrians, and Isaiah preaches to build morale generally, and specially to encourage hope in the king of Judah, Hezekiah and to warn Sennacherib, the king of Assyria leading the Army.

This will be the sign for you, Hezekiah:

“This year you will eat what grows by itself,
and the second year what springs from that.
But in the third year sow and reap,
plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
31
Once more a remnant of the kingdom of Judah
will take root below and bear fruit above.
32
For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant,
and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.

33 “Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:

“He will not enter this city
or shoot an arrow here.
He will not come before it with shield
or build a siege ramp against it.
34
By the way that he came he will return;
he will not enter this city,”
declares the Lord.
35
“I will defend this city and save it,
for my sake and for the sake of David my servant!”

But the odds did not look good.

But then something strange happened. No exact explanation is given, but a large number of the Assyrian soldiers died in the night. Food poisoning? Bad water? A disease? Malaria? Scorpions or snakes?

Isaiah describes this as follows:

36 Then the angel of the Lord went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp. When the people got up the next morning—there were all the dead bodies! 37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.

The 185000 is almost certainly a exaggerated. And what Isaiah is doing is simply using a to us antiquated way of describing death: The "angel of death" comes. Isaiah is not telling us how these people died. He expresses his belief that it was God's will that they should. The angel of death came for them.

He leaves us in the dark of the exact circumstances. We cannot ask him why. But he does tell us that the Assyrian broke up camp and left. So obviously quite a few were left. But what mattered to him most, was to communicate his firm belief that it was God who protected Jerusalem.

What is also worth noting is that this "angel" evolved in later traditions into better known "reaper"...again, few would argue there really is such a thing.
