The Angels Of ALLAH

Angels are spiritual creatures of ALLAH, ever obedient to His WILL & COMMANDS. They are neither males nor females; they have neither parents, nor wives, nor husbands, nor sons, nor daughters. They have no material bodies, but can assume any form they like.
Angels do not eat & drink like human beings, nor do they enjoy sleep.
The most important Angels of ALLAH are four in number, namely;
1. JIBREEL
2. MIKA'IL
3. ISRAFEEL
4. IZRA'EEL

Angel JIBREEL was employed by ALLAH to convey His messages to His Chosen ones on the earth, the APOSTLES & the PROPHETS, who appeared in all ages & all climes. It was Angel JIBREEL who communicated the revelations of ALLAH to our PROPHET MOHAMMAD SALLALAHU ALAHAY WASALLAM ( peace of ALLAH be upon him).

There are many other Angels, some of whom mentioned in the QUR'AN are known to us, but we have no knowledge about the number, names & duties of others, which are known only to ALLAH.
The main qualities of Angels are purity, righteousness, truthfulness & obedience to the WILL & COMMANDS of ALLAH.
The Angels only act in obedience to the Commands of ALLAH; hence they cannot do anything on earth without his order.
