Repost : Angels of Islam

Gabriel (Jibraaiyl or Jibril in Arabic). Gabriel is the archangel responsible for revealing the Qur'an to Muhammad, verse by verse. Gabriel is known as the angel who communicates with (all of) the prophets.

Michael (Mikaaiyl in Arabic). Michael is often depicted as the Archangel of mercy who is responsible of bringing rain and thunder to Earth. He is also responsible for the rewards doled out to good persons in this life.

Raphael (Israfil or Israafiyl in Arabic). According to the Hadith, Raphael is the Angel responsible for signaling the coming of Judgment Day by blowing a horn and sending out a Blast of Truth. The blowing of the trumpet is described in many places in Quran. It is said that the first blow will destroy everything [Qur'an 69:13], while the second blow will bring all human beings back to life again.

Angel of Death (transliteration "Malak al-Maut") (colloquially referred to as Azrael) who along with his helpers is responsible for parting the soul of the human from the body. The actual process of separating the soul from the body depends on the person's history or record of good or bad deeds. If the human was a bad person in life, the soul is ripped out very painfully. But if the human was a righteous person, then the soul is separated like a 'drop of water dripping from glass'. It is also noted that The Angel of Death will look like a terrifying beast or demon for the souls of bad people and will look like 'the most pleasant sight' when he comes for the souls of good people. A common mistake is to think that The Angel of Death is named Azrael. But the Quran never names The Angel of Death but refer instead to "Malak al-Maut" (translates to Angel of Death), and there is no connection in the Qur'an between the name Azrael and The Angel of Death.

Maalik is the chief of the angels who guard Hell.
