Angels are Allah (swt) Messengers who are very obedient, pure and Holy and swift at his commands.
The Holy Qur’an states:
The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years: 70:4
Ruh: The Spirit: Men is gifted with the spirit of Allah (swt), in spiritual kingdom we (man) are all raised to the light of countenance of Allah (swt), and His Grace transform us, but such transformation is not to be attained the highest spiritual exertion, and if we measure time as we measure it on the plan of this life, it may take thousands of years, in the spiritual plan it may be just a day or a moment.
The Angels and the Spirit (as mentioned in the above verse) who ascend unto Him (Allah swt), in His infinite Grace, He gives that privilege to Angels and Spiritual beings, man being in his highest aspect. The Holy Qur’an states:
Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah’s permission, on every errand; 97:4
I guess the Spirit is the Ruh of the pious souls, such as the Prophets and Apostles also the righteous ones. As the Holy Qur’an states:
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed. 81:25
This verse is really all about the Holy Prophet (owbp), how he used to get messages from the Angel Gabriel and not from some evil spirit. So therefore it has to be man’s Ruh (soul) that are pure, as the Holy Qur’an states:
And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah. “They are dead.” Nay, they are living, though ye perceive (it) not. 2:154
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 81:22
People used to laugh and mock the Holy Prophet (owbp), but Allah (swt) is telling them that he speaks the truth of what he saw and of the teachings he usually gets from the Angel Gabriel. The Holy Qur’an states:.
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger, 81:19
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne, 81:20
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.81:21
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed; 81:22
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.81:23
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen. 81:24
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.81:25
When whither go ye? 81:26
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds: 81:27
And I do call to witness the self-reproaching spirit: (Eschew Evil).75:2
Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones. 75:3
