Many angels have specific roles. Can act as guardian angels

20

21
Q

Predestination

A

Allah is in control of the outcome of good and evil actions
He knows everything that will happen
At the same time though, humans have free will and can make their own choices
Sunnis believe Allah chooses what will happen to humans and human can’t change their destiny ‘never we will be struck accept by what Allah has decreed’
Shias believe humans lives are down to their own free will and god knows what will happen but can’t decide it
Predestination is important because Muslims can take comfort in the fact that Allah controls good and bad. They don’t fear death as they know it’s part of gods plan, some may loose hope when things get tough as things are pre-determined to be bad, and it could make someone too reliant on god and not taking responsibility for their actions

22
Q

Akirah

A

Life after death
Day of judgement, god is omniscient and will be just and fair, all bodies will be ressurected after waiting in barzakh( like a purgatory). 2 angels will open a book that contains the record of their life, then it will be decided where they go.

23
Q

Heaven

A

A beautiful place where rewards are enjoyed

24
Q

Hell

A

A place of pain and suffering. For people who rejected faith and prophets. Described as a place of scorching pits. Some believe this is symbolic while others literal. Some believe god will ultimately forgive all.
Akhirah is important because it influences Muslims to do good deeds, avoid sinning, and have comfort that justice will happen. Teaches Muslims they will be held accountable for their actions and reassures them death is not the end.

25
Q

Holy books

A

Qur’an: Angel jibril appeared to Muhammad and gave him gods revalations which were recorded in the Quran word for word for over 23 years. Muhammad was illiterate so it was a miracle. After 23 years, the qur’an was compiled by Abu Bakr. Has to be kept as high as possible, with a cloth over it to keep it clean.
Important because it is a direct revelation from Allah so it’s a miracle. Highest source of wisdom and authority. Proves gods existence.
Proves timeless truth, cannot be wrong
‘this is the scripture of which there can be no doubt.’
Other holy books are the sunnah and Hadith, Tarwat, gospels, psalms,scrolls of Abraham. Other holy books aren’t as important as the Qur’an as they may have been lost in translation over the years.
