اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ جَاعِلِ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلاً اُو۬لِٓي اَجْنِحَةٍ

"All praise is due to Allah, Creator of the heavens and earth, who made the angels messengers with wings — two, three, or four."

— Fāṭir 35:1

The Quran does not describe the angel — it tells you what it does. Names and tasks; the rest is left to hadith.

ANGELS IN THE QURAN · UNSEEN MESSENGERS

Messengers of the Unseen

Jibril brings revelation. Mika'il distributes provision. Munkar-Nakir question the grave. Seven angel roles — seven distinct dimensions.

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.
