Unseen Blessings

For some reason, last night I was curious to find out the duties and responsibilities of malaikat-malaikat. To be more precise, Malaikat Mikhail.
SubhanAllah! not only are they  (I was once told that the name is just like a group name. exact number of them, only He knows. Maybe its written in the Quran or in Hadith but I have yet to come across any..i've not done much reading i may add) in charge of distributing sustenance to mankind, animals, plants and other living things but also seek forgiveness (istighfar) to Allah S.W.T. for the dutiful ones who have sinned.

Are we not capable of realizing it when we have sinned and seek our own forgiveness?
We might not have met them (or maybe we have..we just do not know) but there they are helping us to.

I remember briefly reading an article few years back on Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. About him crying. He cried for us, his umat, who will be the first to be resurrected during Judgement Day. I don't quite recall if he cried cause many of us are the wrongdoers and bound to face Allah's punishment or was there other reasons as well?

Rights, I think my entry here is quite weak. But MasyaAllah, I am just trying to share something that smitten my heart and made me wonder what have I done to deserve such caring Prophet and Angel. Thank Him for bestowing us with such blessings. May Allah forgive us all. Amin!
