What is Angel?
Belief in the Angels is a fundamental part of Islam.
Angels are made of light and cannot be seen. They are Gods workers and do whatever they are commanded to. Angels have many different jobs.
Below are the names and functions of 10 Angels:
- GABRIEL (JIBRIL) meaning "God is my strength". To deliver the Divine Revelations from God to His chosen Messengers from among the prophets

- AZRAEL (ISRAIL) meaning "whom God helps" (the person helped by God). Angel of Death, the most fearsome of them all. The one Angel we will all meet at the point of our death; who does not delay nor expedite the hour of claiming the soul
