Who has the closer connection?

      After yesterday's discussion, I made a interesting, yet quite confusing observation regarding the relationship between the complete human and the afterlife in Islam. Due to the a human's full capability of "realization", only a human can "fully embrace all aspects of transcendence and immanence" ( Powerpoint 10/30). However, my confusion starts with the comparison between human and angel. Sells states that "an individual can realize union with divine only by realizing a state of complete, perpetual transformation, [while] angles tend to fix the deity within particular manifestation"( Sells, 79). However, I find the confusion between the concept of error of binding and life after the Day of Reckoning. Firstly, are angles described as humans after life in the physical world? If so, if an individual passes judgement day, would not he or she feel a closer connection with a higher deity? I understand the nature of the real is constantly changing, however does the nature of the divine constantly change also? I understand the angel's perspective in terms of viewing the divine in a certain way, however is this not the end goal: to escape the suffering of human life and reach the pinnacle state of a cosmic relationship with God.
