Praise be to Allah, the Creator
How many wings do the Angels have?

Praise be to Allah, gratitude and favor belong to Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who created and honored the angels and made them (messengers) i.e. He sends them with messages to His servants; the angels have wings two, three and four with which they fly. Also, Allah multiplies in creation as He wills and He is Able to do all things of increase and decrease in the creation of angels. And it is also said: whomever He wills is in good fortune; and whomsoever He wills has a good voice. Also, it is said that that Gabriel, the great Angel has 600 wings
------------
Some memos and questions to mankind

Allah sends unto mankind of mercy e.g., of rain, provision, health, wealth, well-being etc. None can withhold or stop such a mercy; (and that which He withholds or stop none can release it after He withholds or stops it. He is the Mighty in His withholding, and the Wise in that which He sends.

The verses say: O mankind, Remember Allah's grace and mercy towards you. Is there any creator or any god other than Allah who provides for you from the sky rain and from the earth vegetation?
Indeed, there is no god save Him who provides you with countless gifts. From whence do you lie and claim that your fake deities provide for you?
And if they deny you, (O Muhammad); the messengers of Allah were denied before you, their folks denied them just as your people are denying you. Be aware the end results of all things are brought back to Allah in the Hereafter.

The verses also say: O mankind, the promise of Allah i.e. resurrection after death is true; it will surely happen. So do not let this life beguile you with regard to the obedience of Allah, and do not let the (beguiler) Satan; beguile you with regard to Allah and His religion.
Those who disbelieve in Muhammad and in the Quran, will have an awful doom and severe punishment; and those who believe) in Muhammad and in the Qur'an (and do good works) and do acts of obedience between them and their Lord, will have forgiveness of their sins and a great reward in Paradise.
------------

The essential enemy of mankind

Lo! The devil is an enemy for you as regards religion and obedience, so treat him as an enemy, fight him and do not obey him as far as religion and obedience are concerned. He only summons his faction (those who obey him) to be the owners of the eternal hell; to be gathered with the inhabitants of Hell in the Fire.
------------

Can Evil Deeds be Right!

And there is a kind of man; he makes evil deeds that are right in his eye! - Is he like those who are honored with faith and obedience?
(Allah verily knows who are keen to have faith and who like to astray.
Allah will guide the former to his religion; and will not guide the later because they do not deserve.
So do not let your soul (O Muhammad) sadly expire and do not kill yourself with grief in remorse about their fate in the afterlife, if they reject faith.
Allah is Aware of what they do in their state of disbelief and treachery in order to kill Muhammad!
------------

To whom belong power, might and invincibility?

Whoever desires to know to whom belongs power, might and invincibility, should know that all power belongs to Allah.
Unto Him the good words ascend, and He does exalt the pious. He accepts pious deeds through the line of work of "there is no deity except Allah";
but those who plot iniquities, those who associate partners with Allah; those who scheme to expel, imprison or assassinate Muhammad; they will be an awful doom as awful as can be; and the plotting of such folk will come to naught and will not succeed.

The Relation between Bacterial Spore and the Revival of the Dead

The hugs between the faith and the science

And it is Allah who sends the winds and they raise a cloud; then He lead it through rain unto a dead land (the earth after its death; after its dryness and exposure to draught) wherein there is no plants (and revive therewith) by means of the rain. Such is the Resurrection, in the same way you will be quickened and raised from the graves.
Herein, there is an amazing marriage between a recent scientific fact and an old religious fact; verse nine hugs the faith and science together.
Modern science says that if a land is exposed to dryness and draught for a long time, there will be no plants and the soil bacteria will be affected very much. It should be emphasized that water is the most important constituent of the bacteria. In severe dryness, the soil bacteria form spores. The spore is dormant non reproductive bacteria surrounded by a thick-wall that is highly resistant to dryness, heat, chemicals, etc. This wall is tough and waterproof, permitting the cell to survive unfavorable circumstances for a long time. Spore-forming bacteria are like dead body. Spore does not consume energy, it remains dead silent for many years (may be many millions). When it rains, the spore senses that there is water and it germinates rapidly and becomes alive again with full activities.
In Pennsylvania, some soil spores were discovered, their age was some 30 million years; when they were given water they revived again and germinated to full active bacteria!
Now you can very much appreciate such a Quranic link between the Resurrection and the revival of the dead land. To be sure of the revival of the dead, the Quran tells you that it is as simple as the germination of the soil bacteria and revival of the dead land. Then think about the Resurrection; it is the step that leads you to the Day of Judgment, then H or H, hell or heavens according to your Faith + Deeds.
All of these meanings are not found in the Bible!
------------

[1] Praise be to Allah, Who created (out of nothing) the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers with wings, two, or three, or four (pairs): He adds to Creation as He pleases: for Allah has power over all things.
[2] What Allah out of His Mercy doth bestow on mankind there is none can withhold: what He doth withhold, there is none can grant, apart from Him: and He is the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.
[3] O men! Call to mind the grace of Allah unto you! is there a Creator, other than Allah, to give you sustenance from heaven or earth? There is no god but He: how then are ye deluded a way from the Truth?
[4] And if they reject thee, so were Messengers rejected before thee: to Allah go back for decision all affairs.
[5] O men! Certainly the promise of Allah is true. Let not then this present life deceive you, nor let the Chief Deceiver deceive you about Allah.
[6] Verily Satan is an enemy to you: so treat him as an enemy. He only invites his adherents that they may become companions of the Blazing Fire.
[7] For those who reject Allah is a terrible Penalty: but for those who believe and work righteous deeds, is Forgiveness, and a magnificent Reward.
[8] Is he, then, to whom the evil of his conduct is made alluring, so that he looks upon it as good, (equal to one who is rightly guided)? For Allah leaves to stray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. So let not thy soul go out in (vainly) sighing after them: for Allah knows well all that they do!
[9] It is Allah Who sends forth the Winds, so that they raise up the Clouds, and We drive them to a land that is dead, and revive the earth therewith after its death: even so (will be) the Resurrection!
[10] If any do seek for glory and power, to Allah belong all glory and power. To Him mount up (all) words of Purity: it is He Who exalts each Deed of Righteousness. Those that lay Plots of Evil, for them is a Penalty terrible; and the plotting of such will be void (of result).
