Do Angels have Free Will in Islam?
A common misconception is that angels have free will or they possess divine qualities. In Islam, angels are seen as servants of Allah, without any divine powers of their own. They did not possess the divine powers of their own nor they have free will. They act solely on Allah’s commands. In Quran it is mentioned that they follow Allah’s commands without disobedience, do exactly what they are instructed.
Physical Appearance
Contrary to some cultural depictions, angels in Islam do not possess human-like physical features. They are created from light and their appearances are beyond human comprehension.
Gender of Angels
Islamic teachings clarify that angels are genderless, created by Allah solely to fulfill their divine duties. Assigning genders to angels is considered an incorrect understanding of their nature.
