Verses about The Angels

It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],

Blackening the skins.

Over it are nineteen [angels].

And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, ‘ What does Allah intend by this as an example?’ Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills.

And he certainly saw him in another descent

At the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary -
