25:1
Q. 11. In verse (25:1) God says: "Praise be to Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers with wings, two, three and four." The question here is: What is the form of angels? Where and in what form are their wings? Are they like those of birds?
A. Angel is, in fact, the advanced form of man, and therefore, he is an extremely handsome human being and his wings, which are the supreme Names of God, are hidden within himself. You can see this fact in the Wise Qur'an that when they came to Hazrat Ibrahim (11:69; 51:26) and Hazrat Lut (11:77-81), they were in human form and also when the Holy Spirit appeared to Hazrat Maryam, it was in the form of a Perfect Man (19:17).
