Angels in the Quran
Angels in the Quran — Jibril, Mikail, Israfil, the Angel of Death and their orders; their duties and the verses in which they appear.
ANGELS IN THE QURAN
Messengers of the Unseen
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أَجْنِحَةٍ
All praise is due to Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth, who made the angels messengers having wings, two or three or four.
The Quran defines angels by function, not description. Jibril and Mika'il are named; Harut and Marut are mentioned; the rest are known by role. Details like being created from light come from hadith. This page shows only what the Quran says; everything else is marked ℹ️.
