From the brief explanation above, of course the name of faith in angels can make us all Muslims to be more alert and able to take care of ourselves. Besides that, we must not forget that the name of faith in angels can also make us all always appear optimistic in doing all good deeds.
Coupled with the name believe in something unseen (angels) is not something that is easy to do for everyone. For people whose eyes function normally, surely they can know which things are visible or clearly visible and which are not visible. Then what about our brothers who are blind in their eyes?
Under normal conditions they cannot see things that appear or appear. But, we know they can feel something that has a form or that has a form, even though they cannot clearly see that something.
From here, humans need to open their ‘eyes of the heart’. That is, as creatures, humans must remain convinced that there are other creatures that cannot be reached by our naked eyes. from there also we have an obligation to faith in angels, because they are one of God’s creations that exist, but can not be seen human eyes or supernatural.
