35. Surat Fatir or Al-Mala'ikah (The Originator or The Angels, 45 verses) by Ahmad bin Ali Al-Ajmi

Revealed in the mid-Makkan period of Islam, this surah of 45 verses takes its name from the first verse where God Almighty is introduced as al-Fatir (the All-Originating). It is also called Surat al-Mala'ikah. The main topics dealt with in the surah are God's Oneness, the Hereafter, and the Messengership of Muhammad, upon him peace and blessings. The surah presents proofs for these three pillars of faith and draws attention to the bounties of God.

1. On the existence of the angels and their being the conveyors of God's commands and messages, see surah 2, notes 31, 36, 40; 11: 83, note 20; 15: 27, note 7.

What the verse means by the angels' wings is their speed, power, and the tasks they carry out. Their wings are not restricted to four. God's Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, says that during his Ascension, he saw the Archangel Gabriel with 600 wings, and that Gabriel told him that he had seen Israfil with 12,000 wings, a single one of which filled up the space between the heavens and the earth (al-Qurtubi).

2. This means that God's process of creation is continuous with expansion in scope, range, and variety. It also means that He not only creates to satisfy a purpose, but also for perfection. Because of this, He creates whatever He creates in the best, and the most beautiful and purposeful form and fashion.
