This book contains 30 chapters and is about 250 pages. It covers the topic of Angels extensively and sheds insights into their being that are rarely mentioned in other texts. It is written by a Sufi Master and Islamic scholar whose warm personal style shows a deep sincerity and love of God that those interested in Angels should cherish. After reading this book one can not look at the Universe as being the same again, God's love is reaching and his Angels are present at all times in every place. This book should be "required reading" of all those interested in the topic of Angels, I highly recommend it.

This book provides a totally untapped view on Angels which the reader of non-islamic literature ususally cannot obtain. What do they really look like, their shapes, powers, love for human beings and closeness to us. These stories and descriptive facts from the Author bring us much closer to the reality of what Angels are and their relationship with us...until the blessed day we come face to face with them. A must read.

Shaykh Kabbani beautifully combines knowledge and experience to bring to the reader the role of Angels in life according to the Islamic and Sufi Tradition. An exciting book the reader simply does not wish to put down!

There are some books, like some people, whose words are so pure and clear they seep into your hear, spreading love and happiness, the light of the spiritual world. This is one of these. Both those who follow Islam and those unfamiliar with this Path, will find sweet comfort here, and the knowledge that at the core all paths to God lead to the one same shining goal." Sophy Burnham

Angels Unveiled reveals untold secrets of angels while the illustrations of the angels remain veiled. This itself is a deep secret which ony a pure heart, like the heart of the Shaykh Hisham, can reveal." Dr. Laleh Bakhtiar

The traditional Islamic universe is replete with angels who perform various functions in accordance with God's Command and the Noble Quran and Hadith speak often of the angels and their multifarious roles. At the time when interest in the angels is being aroused in the West once again, one cannot but welcome heartedly the appearnace of this book, which speaks with such traditional authority and clarity about angels in the Islamic cosmos and their role and function in various aspects of the daily life of Muslims.

I enjoyed the depth and knowledge that goes in this book. The author goes in detail explaining each angel, his function and their interaction with humans, prophets, and GOD. Very enlightning

Mawlana Sheikh Hisham Kabanni has done miracles with this book. He is excellent in bringing things in prospective and give precise examples, and explains cause and effect which, will satisfy you heart and mind at the sometime.

This type of explanation I did not find with any other saints or scholars of spirituality.

Shaykh Kabbani writes with lucidity and sincerity, creating an enchanting work which will transport the reader into the unimagineably beautiful world of angels, granting him or her a glimpse into the sublime realities of Prophets and Saints, and the wonder of God's immense creation.

The traditional Islamic universe is replete with angels who perform various functions according to God's command, and the Qur'an and Hadith speak often of angels and their roles. At a time when interest in angels is again aroused in the West, this book - which speaks with traditional authority and clarity - is a welcome and happy addition to the discussion!
