with the holy ones and favourites of God, it amounts to nothing and is as if it did not exist.

Angels can be Seen Why angels are not visible is a useless speculation. The angels, like God Almighty, are imperceptible beings. Then how can they be visible to our physical eyes? Is God Almighty, whose existence is admitted by even these philosophers, visible to physical eyes? Besides, it is not true that angels cannot be beheld in any way. Those who possess insight behold angels with their spiritual eyes in their visions which they experience very often in a state of wakefulness. They talk to the angels and learn many things from them. I call God to witness that I am telling the truth when I say that I have, on many occasions, seen angels in my visions and have learnt things from them and have been told of past or future events which turn out to be facts. Then how can I say that angels are not visible? They are doubtless visible, but with other eyes. As these people laugh at these things, those who possess insight weep at their condition. If they were to keep company with me they could be satisfied through visions, but the trouble is that they suffer from arrogance which does not permit them to come over in humility as seekers after truth.

It is a pity that Pundit Dayanand has raised an objection against the system of angels. Would that he had knowledge of God’s physical and spiritual systems so that instead of raising objections he would have been convinced of the excellencies of the teaching of the Qur’an, which presents a correct and true picture of the law of nature.
