Angels — the Mala'ikah — occupy a central place in Islamic theology. They are servants of Allah created from light, incapable of disobedience, and assigned specific roles in the universe: carrying revelation, recording deeds, blowing the trumpet, and being with every believer throughout their life. The Quran names several angels and describes their majestic qualities.
