The Quran is the principal source for the Islamic concept of angels. [89] Some of them, such as Gabriel and Michael, are mentioned by name in the Quran, others are only referred to by their function. In hadith literature, angels are often assigned to only one specific phenomenon. [90] Angels play a significant role in Mi'raj literature, where Muhammad encounters several angels during his journey through the heavens. [91] Further angels have often been featured in Islamic eschatology, Islamic theology and Islamic philosophy. [92] Duties assigned to angels include, for example, communicating revelations from God, glorifying God, recording every person's actions, and taking a person's soul at the time of death. According to Kabbalah, there are four worlds and our world is the last world: the world of action (Assiyah). Angels exist in the worlds above as a 'task' of God. They are an extension of God to produce effects in this world. After an angel has completed its task, it ceases to exist. The angel is in effect the task. This is derived from the book of Genesis when Abraham meets with three angels and Lot meets with two. The task of one of the angels was to inform Sara and Abraham of their coming child. The other two were to save Lot and to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. [23] According to the Kabbalah as described by the Golden Dawn there are ten archangels, each commanding one of the choirs of angels and corresponding to one of the Sephirot. It is similar to the Jewish angelic hierarchy. God's messengers, those individuals whom he sends (often from his personal presence in the eternal worlds), to deliver his messages ( Luke 1:11–38); to minister to his children ( Acts 10:1–8, Acts 10:30–32); to teach them the doctrines of salvation (Mosiah 3); to call them to repentance (Moro. 7:31); to give them priesthood and keys (D.&C. 13; 128:20–21); to save them in perilous circumstances ( Nehemiah 3:29–31; Daniel 6:22); to guide them in the performance of his work ( Genesis 24:7); to gather his elect in the last days ( Matthew 24:31); to perform all needful things relative to his work (Moro. 7:29–33)—such messengers are called angels.".Additionally, becoming increasingly aware in the moment that you notice signs of angels, often allows you to more deeply understand the significance and to also then open to the deeper messages and wisdom your guardian angels want to communicate with you.

The word angel arrives in modern English from Old English engel (with a hard g) and the Old French angele. [8] Both of these derive from Late Latin angelus, which in turn was borrowed from Late Greek ἄγγελος angelos (literally "messenger"). [9] Τhe word's earliest form is Mycenaean a-ke-ro, attested in Linear B syllabic script. [10] According to the Dutch linguist R. S. P. Beekes, ángelos itself may be "an Oriental loan, like ἄγγαρος ( ángaros, 'Persian mounted courier')." [11] Miller, Stephen. (2019), The Book of Angels: Seen and Unseen. Cambridge Scholars Pub.

[1] [2] Other roles include protectors and guides for humans, such as guardian angels, and servants of God. [3] Abrahamic religions describe angelic hierarchies, which vary by religion and sect. Some angels have specific names (such as Gabriel or Michael) or titles (such as seraph or archangel). Those expelled from Heaven are called fallen angels, distinct from the heavenly host.
