According to the majority of Islamic scholars, angels are incapable of committing
sin, and therefore cannot fall from grace, excluding the Iblis who chose to do evil
because he had free-will and is not considered as a fallen angel, but a separate
entity made of fire called jinn. Scholars cite the following Quranic verse, \"And
when We said to the Angels; \'Prostrate yourselves unto Adam.\' So they prostrated
themselves except Iblis. He was one of the jinn...\" (Surat Al-Kahf, 18:50). Angels,
unlike the fiery nature of jinn, are beings of goodness and cannot choose to disobey
God, nor do they possess the ability to do evil.

The archangel Gabriel is attributed with sending the message of God to all the
Prophets (including the Psalms, Torah, Bible and Qur\'an). Other angels include
Michael who discharges control of vegetation and rain, Israfel who will blow the
trumpet at the day of resurrection, and Azrael, the angel of death (as opposed to
the Christian view that Gabriel is the angel of good news).

The angels Nakir and Munkar are assigned to interrogate the dead before judgment
day; and there are nineteen angels over-seeing the punishments of hell unflinchingly
(Surat Al-Muddaththir, 74:30). There are eight massive angels that support the
Throne of God (Surat Al-Haaqqa, 69:17). Every human being is assigned two angels to
scribe a record of all actions done by the individual throughout their life, which
will be used in evidence for or against the person by God on the day of judgment.


\"Then He created the openings between high skies and filled them with all classes of
His angels. Some of them are in prostration and do not kneel up. Others in kneeling
position and do not stand up. Some of them are in array and do not leave their
position. Others are extolling God and do not get tired. The sleep of the eye or the
slip of wit, or languor of the body or the effect of forgetfulness does not effect
them.

Among them are those who work as trusted bearers of His message, those who serve as
speaking tongues for His prophets and those who carry to and fro His orders and
injunctions. Among them are the protectors of His creatures and guards of the doors
of the gardens of Paradise.

Among them are those also whose steps are fixed on earth but their necks are
protruding into the skies, their limbs are getting out on all sides, their
shoulders are in accord with the columns of the Divine Throne, their eyes are
downcast before it, they have spread down their wings under it and they have
rendered between themselves and all else curtains of honor and screens of power.
They do not think of their Creator through image, do not impute to Him attributes
of the created, do not confine Him within abodes and do not point at Him through
illustrations.\"
