All of the Prophets. whose numbers are recorded in reliable religious sources to be 124.000. unanimously reported the existence of angels. spirit beings. jinn and Satan. Saints and religious scholars are all agreed on the existence of this invisible realm. and it goes without saying that two specialists in a matter are preferable to thousands who are not specialists. In addition. it is an established fact that once a matter was confirmed by two persons. then its denial by thousands carries no weight. Furthermore. all the people of religion. the followers of almost all religions. have unanimously accepted the existence of these beings.

Matter serves life in the universe. not the other way round. Sciences are unable to explain life. How organic matter grows into life is a mystery for the sciences. Although matter appears to be the basis for life on the earth or serves as a receiver of life. it is evidently not its originator. So. life is sent from immaterial dimensions of existence: God infuses it into matter or inorganic substance through something immaterial and invisible. which we call spirit. It is because of the particular features of each spirit that human beings. although formed of the same physical elements. are different from each other in character. countenance. potential. desire and fate. |

The relation between the spirit and the body can be likened to the relation between electrical power and a factory operating by electricity. If there is no electricity to operate the factory. the factory will be reduced to heap of junk. Likewise. when the spirit leaves the body because of some rupture or disconnection. which we call illness or something like that. despite his matchless value when alive. man is reduced to mass of tissue and bone to decompose in earth. This means that man's real existence and his uniqueness among beings depend on his spirit.

The existence of the angels and other spirit beings can be established by proving the existence of an individual angel. because their denial amounts to the denial of the species. Thus. the acceptance of the individual requires the acceptance of the whole species. Does it not suffice to prove the existence of the angels and other spirit beings that all the people of religion from the beginning have unanimously believed in their existence. and that a consensus has been formed that some human beings have seen and conversed with them. and related from them.

When we examine the creation carefully. we discern that each living thing. whether universal or particular. has a collective identity and performs a unique. universal function. As each flower displays a superlative design and symmetry and recites. in the tongue of its being. the Names of the Creator. so the whole earth performs a universal duty of glorification as though it was a single flower.
