What Are Malaika? (2)

If we take A-L-K (alif-laam-kaaf) as the root of the word Malaika, then Malaika may mean "means of communication".

[Ever wondered! what takes your text-message from your mobile phone to someone else's or email from your computer to someone else's computer? Isn't it Malaika?]

If we take M-L-K (meem-laam-kaaf) as the root of the word Malaika, then Malaika may also mean, what science calls, "forces of nature".

[Hasn't man made Malaika (i.e. means of communication and many forces of nature) subservient to him? Wasn't the prostration of Malaika before Adam symbolic of such subservience of Malaika to man? (2:34, 7:11, 17:61, 18:50, 20:116]

Important

And do not follow (blindly) any information of which you have no (direct) knowledge. (Using your faculties of perception and conception, you must verify it for yourself. (In the Court of your Lord,) you will be held accountable for your hearing, sight, and the faculty of reasoning."[17:36]
