Angels are very important to Islam. According to Muslims, angels are beings that Allah created from light. Angels do not sleep, eat or tire. Angels are not free to choose; they always listen to Allah. They are given various tasks and perform them without any lapses. Most Muslims discover that Muslim angels help bridge the world of man with the unseen world as they learn about religion.
What are Muslim Angels?
In Arabic, Muslim angels are called "Malaikah". Muslim angels are created by Allah before humans. They do not have desires and they obey Allah. Muslim angels have only one responsibility: to obey Allah, and to do the work He has assigned them. The angels are always in prayer to Allah, and they serve their purpose. Angels do not appear in their real form to humans, but they may take on human form when Allah permits.
The Angel Jibreel - Messenger of Revelation
Jibreel is one of the most important Angels. Allah chose Jibreel as the messenger for all prophets. Jibreel delivered the Qur'an over a period of 23 years to Prophet Muhammad (peace is upon him). He also delivered messages to other Prophets, such as Musa (Moses), and Isa Jesus (peace be upon them). Jibreel is the only person who could have brought Allah's message to the prophets. He is the reason why Muslims have today's Qur'an as a guide to their lives.
Angels who record our deeds
Two angels are always on the shoulders of every Muslim. The Kiraman Katibin are these angels. The one on the right sits and marks each good deed. The other angel sits on the right shoulder and marks all evil deeds. They never make a mistake. Not even a small action or word. On the Day of Judgment, humans will see the deeds that these angels have written. It is this that makes Muslims want to do good, not evil.
The Angel of Death (Malak al-Mawt)
The Angel of Death or Malak al Mawt removes the soul from the body when the life of a person is over. Other angels may also appear at the time of death. The angels will gently carry the soul to Heaven if the person is righteous. If the person is wicked, then the angels will be harsh and violent in taking the soul. Angels can be seen participating in death and life.
Angels Write Our Destiny
According to Muslims, four angels come and visit the baby while it's still in its mother's womb. The four things they write are: longevity, wealth, the kind of life the person will have, and whether or not they'll be good. Qadar, or destiny, is what this is. Even though the fate unfolds in a certain way, Muslims try to be good because Allah has given humans the freedom to choose good or evil.
Angels Protect and Guard
Muslim angels also protect people. On Allah's command, they protect people from danger and harm. They are invisible, but always at work. Allah is concerned about human beings, and wants to protect even those who are unaware of the situation. But Muslims must still be alert and cautious in their daily lives.
Angels Worship Allah At All Times
Angels are very obedient. They never tire and never stop worshiping Allah. Some angels prostrate and bow constantly, while others praise Allah continuously. They never stop worshipping. It shows their majesty and love for their Creator. They also inspire Muslims to worship and pray all the time.
Angels on Judgment Day
On the Day of Judgment, angels will perform several tasks. They will lift people out of graves. The angels will also be carrying the records of each person's deeds. Angels are arranged in a line to reflect the gravity of the day. Some angels will ask individuals questions about their lives. Other angels will open Heaven and Hell's doors. Angels will lead the good people to Paradise, and the bad ones to Hell. Allah wills it all.

These are some special Muslim angels, and their roles:
Jibreel: Delivers messages to the Prophets from Allah.
Mika'il: Michael controls rain, weather and sustenance.
Israfil : The trumpet will be blown to announce the beginning of the Day of Judgment.

Each angel has a specific task that they perform with accuracy. They are a reflection of the strength and power of Allah's work.
