Angel

Angels are supernatural beings found in various religions and mythologies, often acting as messengers of a divine or spiritual realm. The term "angel" derives from the Greek word angelos, meaning "messenger." In Hebrew, the word for angel is malakh (מלאך), which also means "messenger." In Arabic, the equivalent term is malak (ملاك), and in Latin, it is angelus. Angels are typically depicted as benevolent beings who serve as intermediaries between the divine and the human world, delivering messages, providing guidance, and offering protection. They appear in the religious texts of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and other faiths, often with distinct hierarchies and roles. For instance, in Christianity, angels are organized into different choirs, such as seraphim, cherubim, and archangels, each with specific functions and attributes. In Islam, angels like Jibril (Gabriel) and Mika'il (Michael) play crucial roles in delivering revelations and maintaining the cosmic order. The concept of angels varies across cultures and religions, but they generally embody purity, divine will, and spiritual guidance.
