Note: Please try to understand and distinguish it between divine domain and human domain. Here Angels belong to Divine domain and Horses belong to human. Here in this Surah Al-Adiyat Divine domain is being considered.  Reference to Surah Al-Naziyat [79:1-5]. Verses from 1 to 5. The same scenario is being discussed here and there in Surah Al-Naziyat. We are attaching of “Surah Al-Naziyat [79:1-5]” reference with little explaination at the end of this Chapter/Surah of the Quran.
