Introduction to Political Science Analysis of KPK vs Polisi

KPK VS Police of the Republic of Indonesia The hottest news in these three months is all about the corruption in Indonesia. This case has become more interesting to be discussed in every form of media. This very first paragraph explains about the background of this case. The very basic matters are only three; the first is the bribery toward the department of forestry in the project of buying radio communication from Motorola, the second is the murder of Nasruddin Zulkarnain involved Antasari Azhar and the stealing of Century bank’s assets by its owner and finally the government had to bail-out Rp. 6, 7 quintillion to save that bank. Those three are the actual root of this case; then this case got more and more complicated and mentioned many names involved. There are many names involved in this so called “show” and all those names will be mentioned in this second paragraph. The first name must be mentioned is Antasari Azhar, a suspect in murdering Nasruddin Zulkarnain. The second is Yusuf Erwin Faisal who was accused at the first time to accepting money from unknown person “oknum.” The third person must be the president of P.T Masaro, Anggoro Widjojo. The next is M.S. Kaban who was predicted guilty in his involvement. Mabesreskrim polri, Susno Duaji also involved in this case. His chat with Anggoro Widjojo was caught by KPK. Two leaders of KPK, Bibit Samad Riyanto and Chanda Hamzah were also suspected guilty in bribery. The next are Anggodo Widjojo and Ary Mulyadi who admitted giving money Rp. 5,1 trillions to Bibit and Chandra. And Anto who got the money from Anggodo and Ary Mulyadi. Joko Tjandra also involved in that case. Or I will shorten the list: (Antasari Azhar, Yusuf Erwin Faisal, Anggoro Widjojo, M.S. Kaban, Susno Duaji, Anggodo Widjojo, Ary Mulyadi, Bibit Samad Riyanto and Chandra Hamzah. This case would not merely be a political or law case; but it is combination between those two. If it’s only a mere law; it would not be so complicated like what we see today. But frankly this case has confused many people and worsens by the media; this case can’t be called as “mere law case.” This status quo would not be this way if there are no people playing with this case. So must be view people who are behind this so sophisticated conspiracy. More talk about Anggoro Widjojo, the director of P.T. Masaro. He was guilty in bribing the ministry of forestry to win the tender. The tender was in buying radio communication from Motorola. He is also in the black list right now; and reported that he is gone to Singapore and being protected by the Singaporean government. Talking about goal of Anggoro’s little brother, Anggodo Widjojo would be more complicated. They basically were caught in the same case, bribery. Anggodo claimed that he gave Rp. 5,1 trillions to Chandra Hamzah and Bibit Samad Riyanto. I can see that basically Anggodo is trying to help his big brother to corner the KPK and also to take revenge to the leaders of KPK who put his big brother in guilty. Susno Duaji also should be mention in this essay; his chat and meeting with Anggoro in Singapore were clear evidence that he was also guilty by protecting Anggoro instead of protecting justice and nation’s assets. Susno Duaji’s act is also strictly forbidden; a high official of Indonesian police is not allowed to meet and make special meeting with the suspects, moreover meeting a suspect in foreign county. This action also done by Antasari Azhar, who met Anggoro Widjojo in Singapore. Considering his status as the suspect in murder of Nasruddin Zulkarnain and former high official of KPK; he must not have a meeting with Anggoro, it’s the same case with Susno Duaji’s case. Moreover Antasari made a testimony which cornered the three high officials of KPK. After Susno Duaji was reported in doing short of nepotism and corruption, the Indonesian police reported that two non-active KPK high officials were involved in the case of bribery. But it was not based on clear evidences. So the two non-active KPK officials are only suspected criminals. This case made many big impacts toward Indonesian state to be more aware that fighting corruption, collusion and nepotism. This case also shows the people that there are still many people who are against justice and national interest. People nowadays get to more aware and have more ability to tell and support the truth. The impacts are also putting Indonesian people into a better state of mind; people have more bravery to speak what they believe is true. Finally this case has become so complicated and people barely know which one is right and which one is true. This phenomenon has become a dilemma in our nations; the involvement of high class Indonesian government made this case more complicated. But no one should give up getting the justice and solving this problem. There are many ways for us to overcome this case. The first is the resoluteness of the president of Indonesian to affirm which one is true and wrong; because in the very end of this case is very clear. The police are in guilty and the non-active high officials of KPK were not wrong in anyways. The second and the last chance to overcome this case is by bringing this case into justice court although most of Indonesian people do not agree and demand the president to affirm that two non-active KPK high officials were true and the police were the wrong.

Intoduction to Political Science Assignment, November 25th, 2009

The story of enmity involving the institutions of law upholder such as the police institution and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has spread throughout our country. The case became fascinating when the office of supreme attorney also took a ‘role’ in the hostility. A small number of high officials also mentioned in a recorded talk including the misuse of president’s name. Of course, we express our deeply felt concern over the complicated problem. What is your opinion about the crucial matter above? Please give your own comments in writing essay based on these questions below. The assignment (HW) should be submitted in the first meeting after the mid-term exams;

1. What is the background of the matter?
2. Who are involved in the matter?
3. According to you, is this case merely a law case, political case, or combination of the two?
4. Who is Anggoro? What is his conspicuous role in the outset of the story?
5. Who is Anggodo? Is he in cahoots with Anggoro in gaining the goal?
6. Why does Susno Duaji accuse KPK of having tapped his telephone’s talk?
7. What is the impact of the case to Indonesian democracy and the fighting against corruption, collusion and nepotism (KKN)?
8. How do police know and investigate the involvement of non-active KPK’s high officials?
9. What is your idea to overcome the problem both in the short and the long ranges?
10. Is either Antasari Azhar or Susno Duaji found guilty since the two prominent figures met Anggoro in Singapore?

Due date: November 25th 2009

What does love mean to you?

Love or intense feeling of deep affection is something which is owned by every living soul on earth. That’s how we were created; we were created to achieve and share love to the world. Humf… People would have different definition of love. My definition might be different from yours; it’s quite a funny to listen about differences. For sure I am not going to share the differences; I am only going to talk about my love. Yeah…. Love that I know.
Affection or feeling of fondness or liking, it’s a part of love. How could you love without affection; I’ll give you the easiest example “Love needs sex, but sex doesn’t need love.” In having relationship such as marriage, people would not abandon sex. To me, sex is a form of affection that forms love. A married couple would find hard time to love the mate without getting proof of love; for married people; sex is a proven evidence of love.
Many people (mostly Muslims) do not agree or strictly forbid free sex or sex before marriage or sex with anybody other than wife or husband. But for many people who do not believe in the revelations of Abrahamic religions (Islam, Christianity and Judaism), sex with anybody he or she likes is just fine. Because, it’s how they show their love to their mates.
But what does love really mean to you?
I will answer that question. Love is the soul of human being. How could you call yourself a human and you neglect your human nature, to love and to be loved? No one will survive without love from others and gives love to others. You will never be born without the love from your mother and father. You will never get a good live without your mate. You will never feel that you are worth to live without being beneficial to others.
You need love, I do too. Many people think that love is everything; Muslim martyrdoms acquiesce in dying for God’s love. Valentino gave up his life for his love to the girl he loved. Jack (in Titanic) gave up his float for Rose because of his love to her. See, people give everything for love. So ask your beating heart, what does love mean to you?

A day with Bila, is just a bila!

Funny thing to have LDR with the girl you don't really know much. But it is challenging for me; frankly I like it this way. By having LDR you do not have to spend much money for dating and doing anything else; again and again; it's different from one to another. The Kambing Jantan spent dollars to call Kebo in Jakarta while he was in Australia. I think that short of weird; because yeah... People are different.

Having LDR (find in google) is not always fun. Here is the different between having LDR and being single. If you are in LDR you can't find a girl and you don't have a girl. And while you are being single; you can find any girl and because you do not have any. So having LDR could be very painful for many people; not for me though.

People think that Nabila is just a clone I made; but she is not just a clone. She is more than that; she is so real. Although I can't reach her forever. But I am sure that someday I will meet my Nabila; some day!

Hahaha.... ridiculous!

Here is a poem for Nabila; I wish she would read it someday:

A day without you just being like a fool
I can't feel anything because it's so painful
I can't even think of any rule
Cuz the world seems so cruel

You do NOT any other option, use UBUNTU for your PC!

Note: Using UBUNTU is the wisest way in chosing computer OS; you probably need a little adjustment from Windows or others to UBUNTU, but if you are really serious, it won't take long. I bet you will be satisfied with UBUNTU!

try this at home!

My Little Dreams

This morning after I was done with dawn prayer I red the Holy Qur'an several pages, then I switched the lamp off again. I slept again. At 07.30 a.m. I woke up again and think? I miss something.....

Yeah... it was breakfast!!! I directly went down stairs and look for lood in the restaurant. Craps! I didn't find anything except tempe (that's Indo food), sayur labu siem and rice. That's all I got; holy crap! But I must be patient and think that it's a test from the almighty God. So I was releaved.

After done with breakfast I went to the Campus library and returned a book; then I went to American Corner to use the internet access. I dont get very good internet access in my room so it's better to go for Amcor (American Corner). I opened facebook and download some cool stuff and copied several keygens hahaha.... I am anti-capitalism.

To me it's fine to break Copy Rights Laws; becaues it's one of form of Capitalism. It kills poor people and nations. If you want to use Windows Vista, XP and 7 in Indonesian; you just have to pay US$2. But if you want to get the original ones; you get to pay hundreds of dollar or little bit less. It's insane! One other option instead of using crack you should use OpenSources such as Linux Ubuntu. It can run better than Windows; I wish every man on earth would use UBUNTU. hahaha....

 It's Ubuntu 9.10, the newest one

Jump to another story; last nite I bought a pack of noodle and I am selling it again; dunno whether anybody will buy it or not. I do not care basically; what I care is that I am striving to live hahah... I am trying to be a businessman. It makes me more confident to say "I am gonna a successful Businessman, inshaAllah (if God wills)". I am also raising some eels and hopping they will grow big and born a lot of babbies, baby eel.

Baby eels

I wonder if someday I can produce tons of eels each day; wow... I will be very rich man and yeah... I inshaAllah going to give a lot of charity for the needy. Dream always makes me life more colorful or full of inspiration and I don't have to worry about a lot of things. Yeah... that's what I got this morning...

Old Memory in 4H

This morning before I went to Campus UMY (Universitas Muhammaidyah Yogyakarta), I wrote three articles and this is the last article I wrote this morning. Wonder how can get interested in writing; I used to hate it so much.

Yeah… it’s been two years I left the States; but the memory… hmm. Yeah it’s also gone most of it. Remembering when I arrived in Washington D.C. Airport; I was detained for three hours without a single question and explanation. Probably I was so weird and awful so the Airport idiot guys detained me; whatever!

Then I left for 4H Building in Maryland, the road was so weird and I met some weird Filipino girls. They were so small, even smaller than Indo girls. They really liked to talk; I do too; but I couldn’t. When I arrived I met a lot more weirdo from many Asian un-developed countries such as India, Philippines, Indonesia and I forget some others. The world seemed to be more complicated and sucked (improper word). Talking little bit about “Suck”, this word always sticks with my life in every single day in a week and every single week in a month and every single month in a year and every single year in my life. Go back>>>

In 4H building it was supposed to be the orientation for the exchange students; but it was different for me. I had been dealing with my most crucial problem; stomachache. Those cold cereals, pizza and all kinds of stupid strange foods were served. Rice, Ayam Goreng, Mie Instants, Tempe, IMPOSSIBLE. A week in 4H building was like a hell for me. There is nothing I could do except BATHROOM. This problem would continue for a month in the US.

Fortunately this pious brat from un-developed country never complained to anybody except himself. Yeah… I began to swear again, any kinds for swear words in Arabic, English, Indonesian and Javanese were out. I made sure that no one would understand my words, bad words. It seemed that I swear (misuh-misuh) more than saying Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah and Allahuakbar (words of the remembrance of God). Anyways, it was me.

Some cool things also happened; some Filipino girls were trying to get my attention by cutting their hands (no). They smiled and sometimes said “YOUR SMILE IS DEATH”, I said to myself “What? Do you think that I am angel of death who takes people’s souls with a big smile?” I never mind with those Filipino girls; indeed, I don’t care. At that time, there is only girl in my mind (read the previous note).

I also met an Indian girl, she was cute! Like actress in Bolliwood. Her smile was so sweet just like sugar cane. But she was the only cute girl from India, the rest were not that beautiful. And I was the first person she introduced herself to; so I was the CHOSEN ONE! For the rest of the year she always contacted me; she still does, but it’s not very often.

In this time I also changed my opinion about some stuff:

1. I realized that not all Arab people are pious and obedient. I met many sarap Arabs (crazy Arabs). They were crazier than Indonesians.
2. I was quite cool and yeah…! The fact; those Filipino girls liked me and that Indian girl always chatted with me for the rest of the year.
3. I was talented. I could dance, sing, do martial art and go to bathroom in every hour in day time.

Yeah… probably those were my a week experience in 4H Building, Maryland. Any Questions?

Friends and I in 4H Building

Imam Bashar Arafat and I in 4H Building

How did Afeefa Nabila come into existence?

I never tested it to any human being except myself but I believe that what I think is true; it’s not so objective but there is none asks me to be objective now. I am doing what I think what I am supposed to be doing; I don’t care how bad my English is; I don’t even care if Ms. Kingsley will ask me someday about my bad grammar like what she used to be. Now I am the boss of my own; I own my own kingdom. I name myself as Raden Mas (a title for a royal blooded man in Indonesia); I do not care whether the Royal Indonesian families will protest or send some stupid slaves to wash my feet. I just do what I think I wanna do. Hahah…. “I am the king of the world and that’s fun” that’s what Alyankovic said.

I am telling people about my love now; although in my entire life (so far) I never loved a girl with a true love. True love? What is it? I don’t really know what it is; the only think that I know is that loves are fake and ridiculous. I don’t know why I think it that way; probably I never have a single love before. I can easily like a girl; but I hardly love her. I see many nice and good looking girls; but I can hardly have a crush on them; neither the girls who are reading this note.
I don’t really understand why this happen; I seem not to care about anything in my life. Except the fact that I don’t care about anything; people say that I am so indifferent. Again, I don’t care what they say; whether it sounds good or not. I just don’t listen. In these two months there are four girls who were trying to get close to me (or probably I just feel it that way; but they don’t), it makes me kind of annoyed and bothered. So I made a clone in Facebook; and I named it Afeefa Nabila.

Afeefa Nabila is not just nonsense; Afeefa is a name of an American girl. She was pretty cute and independent, I liked her. But it stops only in “like”. Nabila belongs to Nabila Sya’kieb, a movie actress in Indonesia; she is also very cute. I liked her. So I made that clone “Afeefa Nabila” because I was so annoyed. I often try to get close to any girl, like some girls in my class. I don’t care what they feel, whether they hate, like, annoyed, or even love (impossible), the only thing that I care is the fact that I do not care about it. I never even remember their face in my mind, neither cell phone numbers.

Honestly, I tried to love a girl one day. She was very beautiful, rich, smart and yeah. I begin to love her more and more; I always sent her e-mails and SMSs. Wow… she did respond a little bit. But finally I realize that I have no moral to love her; she is so different to me. I was just I was. It never even crossed in my mind that I was worth for her. She was so different to me; so much different. I got nothing and she got everything. Then my effort to love a girl ended.

Second try.

One day I was sitting in one class in UMY; I saw a young lady; that’s what the American like to say “Young Lady”. She was pretty neat and beautiful; I guessed. But… still. I have the same problems; I saw her so many times when I walk to American Corner. It makes me so hmmm but can tell it even to myself. Again I kind of …. Yeah… dunno or do not know. But, yeah… not a butt. Hahaha… I remember her face; so cute so sweet. Although, I lately haven’t seen her pretty often but I can tell her face. That’s it! I am in love; it’s supposed to be a love. I found it; I don’t care whether she will love me or not; loving her is more than enough for me.

Most annoying brat!

Huh! One of my inspirations to write a blog is Raditia DIKa; he inspires me to write more and more. But I am different from him; I am working on getting used to English. Well I love Bahasa Indonesia and still think that English is the language of savages invaders murderers racists klu klaks klan (those are little bit off). But I think that writing in strange language would make me little bit different from Raditia DIKa; a lot different; it’s a note of a genius student; not dummy student like he was or is.
Today is new resurrection day after I died in the night; yeah it’s so called resurrection day still belongs to be. Many Adamic race (humankind) slept and never woke up again. But, after I am done with my dawn prayer, one of my friend s came to my room in the dorm and said “Hi… whatcha doin’? Why do you do with ur bags? Why don’t you do this and this and this and this?” I testify that he is the most annoying guy in the entire universe, so far. I don’t want to mention his name; every time I hear his voice; I will try to avoid the source, HIM<: he is very stressful. One another thing I hate is a man looks like a girl and a girl looks like a man. Well; this guy is a metro sexual; he still looks like a man but he is so spoiled. I believe that he is not a gay; but he is so annoying. Probably he was one of descendant of spoiled American girls. He is even worst. Darn! He actually lives next to my room. He calls my name every time he hears I open my room door. I am the president of America I will launch thousands nuclear missiles to bomb ‘em down to the ground. That would be the best day for me.


This is the dorm where I live

Millions of people trying to forget
One thing they can't forget, hatred

Killing people for the sake of dollar
They ain't hesitate for war
Yet they are ignorant
God said "PEACE BE WITH PEOPLE OF GUIDANCE"

Sun Sets in The Red Building

The sun hath gone from people's sight
Yet, the building is still red
People were going by stretching their muscle

Forgetting the time hath set
yet the obligation hath come
The promise of born creatures to their Creator

Basic of Social Science NOTE International Relation Department of UMY Odd First Semester

Science and Knowledge

The issues that are discussed in this lecture are about People think and solve problems in order to SURVIVE.

Science and Knowledge

Essence of science is how the human think and solve problems in order to survive and it is very dynamic along with human’s discovery and invention. Science and knowledge can be obtained from observation, ratio, consensus, experiment and sight.
Science and knowledge have characteristic; it can only be derived from scientific methodology and it’s very dynamic. There are two opinions on how we can achieve knowledge and science:

1. Rationalism
Plato (427-34 BC) wrote a book “Organon”, it explains how we can make/draw conclusion correctly (Syllogism) and improved by Renee Descartes (1596-1650), he says “WHEN I AM AWARE/CONCIOUS/REALIZE THEN I KNOW” or COGITO, ERGO, SUM. In this method you are doing analysis deductively or from general to specific and this method is mainly based on certain concept or theory.

2. Empiricism
John Locke (1632-1764) an Englishman spoke about his theory “The Social Contract” which is against The Devine Theory (Nation was created by God so the kings or pope have the ultimate power to rule the nation). He believed that power doesn’t come from above, but it comes from the people (people have the right to vote and make consensus.
In this method science and knowledge can be derived by experiencing the theories. In another word “Go to nature for answers and reject bad theories”

What makes science different from knowledge? The term science is more specific or mostly used for the specific things such as: Social Science, Natural Science, Political Science and Knowledge are more common than science.

Inhabitant, Society and Culture
Inhabitant (World Citizen)

Increasing number of people means increasing world problems such as; food supply, unemployment, crimes, health problems (disease and medication), education, climate, lack of natural resources, migration, decreasing number of lands, environmental migration (happens when the resources are limited) and so forth.
Demography (Quantitative) Problems:
1. Covering the total number speed to increase the number, distribution of population and composition of inhabitants.
2. The need of food supply, education level, health, security, housing, income per capita, environmental sustainability, natural resources and jobs.

Overpopulation

The increase of population is much higher than the area’s (resources) capability to support the life (Sumarwoto > Paul Nailo, 1977). Three dominant aspects in population growth:
• Natality (Birth Rate)
• Mortality
• Migration: urbanization, transmigration, emigration (go), immigration (come)

Population Mobilization

- Permanent
- Non permanent: daily (commuter), seasonal and periodically.

Theory of Migration

1. Gravitation Theory
a. The farther the distance the smaller the volume of migration
b. The difference between rural and urban area will encourage migration
c. Women tend to migrate to closer destination
d. Technological improvement encourages migration
e. The main motivation of migration is economy
2. Push-Pull Theory
a. The Condition in the original place
b. The condition in the destination place (prospect)
c. The types of obstacles
d. Personal or individual factors

Society

Society (Socius – Latin, Syaraka Arabic) as Collective Life
Society is a group of people who live together for a certain period of time, with own norms that regulate the behavior of the whole community in all aspects of life continuously.

Society- Place, people and time
- Culture and tradition
- Interaction continuously

Culture
Interaction among individual in a society needs contact and communication.
Definition of culture according to Anthropology: The whole system of ideas, action and the product (of human) in the society life which is owned through learning.
Culture (colere – Latin) means to cultivate and there are three forms of culture:
- The wholes system of ideas
- The whole system of actions
- The products of culture
Culture universal: language, system of knowledge, social organization, system of life hood, system of technology, system of religion and art.

Basic of Political Science Asg: Relationships between Political Science and World Geography, November 4th 2009

The Relationship between Political Science and World Geography

Political Science and World Geography are two things which can not be separated. Those two are most likely sustaining each other. Political Science without World Geography is blind and World Geography without Political Science is lame. Before we go any further, I would like to give information about those two:
Political Science is a branch of science which can be defined as “a social science concerned with the theory and practice of politics and the description and analysis of political systems and political behavior”. And World Geography is “a branch of science which can be defined as “the study of world geographical characteristics from many different aspects”.
These two branches of science are always coming after another. These are two of many facts why there is a strong relationship between them:
1. The major discussions of Political Science deal with geographical terms such as: The condition of Japan which has very limited resources has driven it to many major wars in East and Southeast Asia to get the resources from the defeated countries. Another example is the Singapore; this country depends on another country in the matters of water, foods and any raw materials. This condition drives Singapore to be such a nice country to another in the term of foreign policy.
2. The geographical condition of certain countries needs to be justified with its foreign or domestic policies. Brunei Darussalam is a good example for this point, this country is small with a small number of citizens and abundant resources makes this country more exclusive than any other country in Southeast Asia.

Political Science is needed to study how a country which has certain geographical condition can exploit it as well as possible. So finally, the relations between these two are real and the implementation can be seen in our daily life nowadays.

Basic of Political Science : Example of Using Force, November 4th 2009

UNITED SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLIC
The Use of Force to Rule

Force: The application of coercion or the use of physical pressure.

Soviet Union is a good example for this criterion. This country has failed to rule its states by force and communist ideology. For over forty years USSR had become a very strong and frightening federation country in the world. This country had managed to be the super power along with the USA. The USA which imposes Democracy in its constitution is very different with its very rival; the USSR used force to rule its people.
In the fact that the regions of Eastern and Central Asia were harsh and difficult to be controlled and the nature of communism as the centralized power system made authority not to have any compromise with its people. The result of this system is desperation for every element of this country, except the government workers and army. People had no right to say about anything and they can only say “YES” word for every word from the government.
There were many riots in Moscow or any other big cities in the former Soviet Union; and it was easy for the government to stop them. The government would not say anything; they sent companies of army men and finished their job. No talk no compromise is the way the USSR dealt with its citizens.
When the country was about to implement some laws; every people of USSR would accept it without saying something or they would end up dead or imprison. When Stalin imposed the Force Labor Act in Siberia, many people really disagreed to it because it’s just the same with slavery, but they had no right to deny this act.
The conclusion is that force can be used effectively to rule people; but in the consequence people will desperate and have no right to say anything. This method will not make the country exist very long time because people are going to resist to get their independent from their government.

Conficker Infected7 Millions Coputers a Year

Conficker, a computer virus has been successful in spreading its hands on seven millions computers a year. Although it's quite easy to be dealt with several anti-virus such as SMAD-AV from Indonesia, this virus is also getting stronger after several updates.

This virus will easily be detected and erased, but it also going to come back again easily. Programmers around the world gathered and made Conficker Working Group (CWG)to solve the problems of this virus.

Sinful is me

I am so sinful
It's seem so cruel
And I know that the world is so awful
I just think that I am not such a grateful


Mistaken is me

I am just a foolish full of mistake
I just do not know how long I can take
It seems like my life is just a fake
Just make an awful stomachache


Dumb is me

I feel that I am so dumb
All I can do is jump
Even people say damn
For people who loves rum

Comparisons between Common Angels in Christianity and Islam, Religion 1 HI IC UMY 09

Definition of Angel in Christianity

Mainly Christianity defines angel as the messenger of God or a manifestation of God himself (the beginning of trinity, Gabriel as the Holy Spirit). Angels are winged and looks like human being. But, bible doesn’t tell clearly about the shape of angel.
Here how The Holy Bible defines the angels. Angel means messenger. Angels are created (Psalm 148:2,5; Col. 1:16), non-human, spirit beings (Heb. 1:14). They are immortal (Luke 20:36), innumerable (Heb. 12:22), invisible (Num. 22:22-31), sexless (Matt. 22:30), and do the will of God (Psalm 103:20). These angels have a ministry to believers. They guide (Gen. 24:7, 40), protect (Psalm 34:7), and comfort (Acts 27:2, 24).

Forms of Angels throughout history of Christianity

Christianity, the existence of angels has been changed and inflected in many different tones and shapes throughout history of Christian. In the second century, Angels used to be viewed in human form. In this century, the imagination of a winged angel never existed. This is one of the forms of angels which are not so popular nowadays in Christian world. This view existed until the late third century.
In the forth century, in Constantine’s reign, the winged angels were to be boosted. It was highly influenced by Constantine’s belief in paganism. Throughout his life, Constantine was a pagan, and in his death he was baptized. The form of angels from this century is still very famous until our time being. Many people in the world would believe that angels are like human with wings. Even the non-Christian belief would agree with this form. Christians in the fifth century had added some new comers to this imagination. Angels together with Virgin Mary were in one assembly of God or we can view as attendants of God. Jesus himself, as to be believed by the Christians as “Son of God”, he was also viewed as a man with two wings in certain Christians sects. We still can see this imagination in many churches. These two views of angels in Christianity are very famous until now.

Distribution of Angels’ Jobs

The most popular and familiar in our ears is angel Gabriel. His job is to convey the revelation from God to the prophets. Although in hundreds of years Christians had been considering Gabriel as the holy spirit, a part of trinity, they often still say that Gabriel is a mere messenger of God. Gabriel delivered Torah from God to Moses, Psalm to Solomon, Bible to Jesus and a scripture for Ahmet (Book of Barnabas). (Matt 1:20 to Joseph, 4:11 to Jesus, Luke 1:26 to Mary, Acts 12:7 to Peter)
Angel of Death, this angel is the most feared angel among all angels. In Jewish tail, they called his “Izrail” and this name is well known in Islamic world. Muslims take it as qoshosh al israiliah (Tails of People of Israel). Michael or Mikaal or Mika’il is an angel who distributes blessings from God for the entire universe. This angel would set the rain in certain places according to God’s will. This angel is very much beloved by many people in the world. And there are many other names of angels with their job’s distribution.


Angel in Islam

Belief in all of angels is a fundamental part of faith in Islam, which includes belief in One God (Allah), the Angels, the Prophets, the revealed books, the Day of Judgment, and Divine decree. In Islam angels have many different job distributions as the Christians have. There are not much different between concept of Angel in Islam and bible (we cannot include the man’s opinion of angels).
