@Hadithoftheday There are four angels mentioned by name in Surah Baqarah. They are:
1. Jibrael A.S ( Surah Baqarah : verse 97-98)
2. Mikael A.S (Surah Baqarah : verse 98)
3. Harut A.S ( Surah Baqarah: verse 102)
4. Marut A.S ( Surah Baqarah: verse 102)

@Hadithoftheday Allah Says in Qur'an:

"Say, Whoever is an enemy to "Gabriel' - it is [none but] he who has brought the Qur'an down upon your heart, [O Muhammad], by permission of Allah, confirming that which was before it & as guidance and good tidings for the believers"
(Al-Baqara 2: Verse 97)

@Hadithoftheday Allah Says in Qur'an:

"Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and His messengers and "Gabriel" and "Michael" - then indeed, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers."
(Al-Baqara 2: Verse 98)

@Hadithoftheday Regarding Harut & Marut, Allah says:
"And they followed instead what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic & that was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut & Marut (2:102)

@Hadithoftheday Angels are made from Nūr.
Nur, is the term for the light from which the angels were created. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The angels are created from light, just as the jinn are created from smokeless fire & mankind is created from what you have been told about.’" [Muslim]

@Hadithoftheday Angels were created before mankind for certain, as Allah says in the Qur'an:
"Behold, your Lord said to the angels: ‘I will create a vicegerent on earth.’" [2:30].
The fact that Allah told them of His intention to create man indicates that they already existed

@Hadithoftheday The greatest of all the angels is Jibreel A.S, who was described in the following report:
When Prophet ﷺ saw Jibreel in his true form. He had six hundred wings, each of which covered the horizon. There fell from his wings jewels, pearls and rubies, only Allah knows about them.

@Hadithoftheday The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, describing Jibreel A.S:
"I saw Jibreel descending from heaven, and his great size filled the space between heaven and earth." [Muslim].

@Hadithoftheday Among the greatest angels are those who carry the Throne of Allah.Prophet ﷺ said:I have been given permission to speak about one of the angels of Allah who carry the Throne.The distance between his ear-lobes & his shoulders is equivalent to a seven-hundred-year journey (Dawood)

@Hadithoftheday Angels contain wings
Allah says in Qur'an:
"Praise be to Allah, Who created (out of nothing) the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels messengers with wings - two, or three, or four (pairs) adds to Creation as He pleases: for Allah has power over all things." [35:1]

@Hadithoftheday The angels are not all of one size or status, there are differences between them just as there are differences in virtue. The best of them are those that were present at the battle of Badr.

@Hadithoftheday Jibreel came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked, ‘How do you rate the people among you who were present at Badr?’ He said: ‘They are the best of the Muslims,’ or something similar. Jibreel A.S said: ‘So it is with the angels who were present at Badr.’" [al-Bukhaari].

@Hadithoftheday Angels do not get bored or tired of remembering & worshipping Allah
Allah says in Qur'an:
"They celebrate His praises night and day, nor do they ever slacken."[21:20]
For in the presence of your Lord are those who celebrate His praises by night & by day, they never become tired

@Hadithoftheday The angels have names, but only the names of a few of them are known as reported in the Quran and Sunnah (prophetic teachings) texts.
Some of them are :
1.Jibrael.
2.Mikail.
3.Israfil.
4.Malik.
5.Munkar and 6.Nakeer
7.Haroot and 8.Maroot

@Hadithoftheday The Task of Jibreel A.S was to convey the revelation from Allah to His Messengers. Allah says in Qur'an:

"Say: whoever is an enemy to Jibreel - for he brings down the (revelation) to your heart by Allah’s will. . . " [2:97]

Jibreel A.S is also called as Rooh-ul-Ameen

@Hadithoftheday Mikail A.S is responsible for rain, directing it wherever Allah wishes. has Mikail A.S has helpers, who do what he tells them, by the command of his Lord; they direct the winds and clouds, as Allah wills.

@Hadithoftheday Israfil A.S is responsible for blowing the Trumpet, which will be blown by Israfil A.S at the onset of the Hour (the Day of Judgement).

@Hadithoftheday Nakeer and Munkar :
The task of munkar and nakeer is to question the deceased in the grave.
The questions which these angels put to the deceased in his grave are: Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is this man who was sent among you?
