Believe in angels means believing that God has angels. God made them from light, was created to always obedient to Him and never rebel against what God commanded them, always do all his commandments, continuous praise to God day and night, no one knows their number except God, and God's charge to them a variety of different tasks.
Allah says:
"But the real virtue is faith in God, days later, the angels." (QS.Al-Baqarah: 177).
In another verse Allah says:
"Apostles had faith in the Qur'an that have been handed down to him from his Lord, so did the people who believe, all believe in Allah, His Angels, His books us and His apostles." (Qur'an Al-Baqarah: 285).
And in the hadith Jibreel, when he came to the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam asked about Iman, Islam and charity. Gabriel said: Tell me about faith! then the Prophet replied: "Do you believe in Allah, His angels, His scriptures, His Messengers, Day and taqdir believe in good and bad."
Position and believe in the angel of law.
Believe in angels is the second pillar of the six pillars of faith, faith unauthorized person without believing in angels.
The scholars agreed that the law is obliged to believe in angels, whoever denies the existence of them or part of them that have been mentioned (the names) by God, then he has disbelieved and opposed to the Qur'an, sunnah and consensus.
Allah says:
"Whoever disbelieved in Allah, His angels, His scriptures, His Messengers and the Last Day, surely that person has gone astray into far." (QS.An-Nisa ': 136).
2. How to believe in Angels
Believe in angels there are two ways, globally and faithful in detail, as for the believers in angels globally covers several areas, including:
First: Acknowledging the existence of angels, and that they are God's creatures. Created to worship Him, and their presence was essential. Our inability to see that does not mean they do not exist, because how many objects or small and delicate creatures in nature this Mayapada that we can not see, but it really exists. The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam never saw the angel Gabriel twice in its original form, as well as some friends had seen some angels in human form.
Imam Ahmad narrated in his book "Musnad" from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, he said: "The Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam never saw Gabriel in its original form, he has six hundred wings, each wing cover the horizon." In the hadith narrated by Gabriel Muslim imam, that Gabriel came in the form of a man who was very white clothes and very black hair, do not look at her ex-traveler, and not one of friends who knew him.
Second: Putting them in accordance with the position that God set for them, where they are as His servants who are always ready to govern, they glorify God by lifting his position and brought them unto Him, and that among them there as a messenger for bring revelation and the other in accordance with the will of Almighty GOD.
Yet they are the servants of God who can not bring both benefits and harm to himself or others and not allowed the slightest worship for them, much less think they have the properties of the deity as the Christians beliefs against Holy Spirit (the angel Gabriel alaihis salam).
Allah says:
"And they say: God, Most Gracious has taken (having) children, the Divine God, actually (the angel) was a glorified servants. They did not precede Him in speech and they do His commandments. "(QS.Al-Anbiya ':26-27).
And Allah said:
"They do not disobey Allah in what He commanded them and they always do what they're told." (QS.At-Tahrim: 6).
Believe in angels in this global obligatory upon every Muslim and Muslimah. Compulsory for them to learn and believe in it, and there is no reason not to know.
As believers in angels in detail include the following:
1. Origin of their occurrence.
God created the angels from light, the creation of the jinn from fire and children and grandchildren Adam from clay, and God has created angels before creating Adam alaihis greetings. In a hadith mentioned:
((خلقت الملائكة من نور, وخلق الجان من مارج من نار, وخلق آدم مما وصف لكم))
"Angels are created from light, and jinn were created from fire and created the children of Adam from what has been described to you (ie land)." (Narrated by Muslim).
2. The number of angels
The angel is a creature that no one is able to calculate their number except God, because so much, there is no single place with a distance of four fingers in the sky unless there are angels who constantly kneel or stand, as Baitul prosperous in seventh heaven every day to enter seventy thousand angels, then they would not (be) re-entered again, because so much. On the Day of Resurrection will be sent to hell, for him seventy thousand reins, all the reins pulled by seventy thousand angels. Allah says:
"And nobody knows it but He Lord your soldiers." (QS.Al-Muddatsir: 31).
And in a hadith the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam said:
((أطت السماء وحق أن تئط, ما فيها موضع قدم إلا وفيه ملك ساجد وراكع)),
"The sky groans fatigue, and naturally she was moaning, no one place wide footprints in the sky but there is a angel who always prostration and bowing." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).
About Baitul prosperous Prophet alaihi wasallam said:
((يدخله في كل يوم سبعون ألف ملك لا يعودون إليه))
"Every day seventy thousand angels enter, they do not return (enter) again." (Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim).
In another hadith the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam said:
((يؤتى بجهنم يومئذ لها سبعون ألف زمام, مع كل زمام سبعون ألف ملك))
"Hell will be shipped on that day, told him there were seven hundred thousand reins, reins along with each of seventy thousand angels (the pull)." (Narrated by Muslim).
So many of the angels, of the two propositions on the countless approximately four thousand, nine hundred million angels, how about that are not mentioned in number, most holy God who had created and set it and he who knows how many they are.
3. The names of the angels

e. The angel is able to change shape from its original appearance. GOD Almighty has given them the ability to change the form of a human male. This is a response to the opinion of pagan groups who believe that angels are daughters of God. And we do not know how they changed in form, and we are extremely difficult to distinguish them by humans when they are changed in form as a human.
f. The angel of death. On the Day of Resurrection all the angels will die, including the angel of death, then they are revived to perform the tasks that have been charged by God to each of them.
