According to Islamic teachings, angels are loyal servants of Allah who are created from light and have no physical form. They carry out the commands of Allah and serve as intermediaries between Allah and human beings. Angels are not like human beings, nor are they jinns. They are of divine nature and their existence is based on their obedience to Allah's commands. They play an important role in Islamic beliefs and are mentioned in the Quran as well as in the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad.
