How can one prove that angels exist? In short, evidence that angels exist…
Angels are metaphysical beings that are out of the field of interest of positive sciences which are based on observation and experiment. But the fact that they are beings which cannot be perceived by eyes or other sense organs does not constitute a ground to deny them. It is a fact that people believe in the existence of many beings that are out of the field of interest of positive sciences. Human mind does not deny the existence of angels, but rather sees it to be possible.
EVİDENCE THAT ANGELS EXİST
There are many verses and hadiths with clear meanings that give certain information on this subject. They eliminate the doubts of humans about the existence of angels. We can list some of the proofs on the existence of angels as follows:

- c) The Prophet Muhammad (saw), who never lied throughout his life, talked about angels, their characteristics, and that he saw them from time to time. (See Ahmad ibn Hanbal, al-Musnad, VI, 168; Muslim, Zuhd, 60)
- d) It is an acceptable fact for human mind that there are special beings that see and evaluate the unique beauty and excellence in the creatures created by the Supreme Creator in macro and micro world, and thereby glorify Allah by remembering Him.
