Sura 43
Aya 19
19
وَجَعَلُوا المَلائِكَةَ الَّذينَ هُم عِبادُ الرَّحمٰنِ إِناثًا ۚ أَشَهِدوا خَلقَهُم ۚ سَتُكتَبُ شَهادَتُهُم وَيُسأَلونَ

Yusuf Ali

And they make into females angels who themselves serve1 God. Did they witness their creation? Their evidence will be recorded, and they will be called to account!
  • Angels for grace and purity may be compared to the most graceful and purest forms we know. But it is wrong to attribute sex to them. They are servants and messengers of God and so far from being rivals seeking worship, are always engaged in devotion and service. If any persons invent blasphemies about God, such blasphemies will form a big blot in their Book of Deeds, and they will be called to account for them.
