Angel

Angels are luminous beings created by Allah in Islamic belief, assigned with specific duties. The Qur'an contains much information about the creation, characteristics, and duties of angels. The most well-known angels are Gabriel, Michael, Azrael, and Israfil. Gabriel is known as the angel who brings revelation, while Michael is recognized as the angel responsible for distributing blessings and sustenance. Angels, lacking the ability to think and will like humans, only obey the commands of Allah. The existence of angels is one of the fundamental beliefs in Islam, and those who do not believe in their existence are considered to have left the faith.
