Angels in Islam

In Islam Angels are a medium between Heaven and Earth. There are four main Archangels all of whom have specific duties; Jibrail, Mikail, Izrail and Israfil. Iblis is the Satanic Angel but every person also has two angels, Munkar and Nakir, who hover around graveyards and check that spirits of the departed have remained faithful to Islam.

In the ritual prayer of Islam, called the Saalat, the person ends with a peace greeting, first over the left shoulder, then the right. Negative forces are called Shaitans or Shytans who are seen as Djinns or fire demons, in Islamic theology.

Really interesting and well worth a mention we think.
