Malak, or "angel" in Arabic, refers to a spiritual being in various religious traditions, particularly in Islam. In Islamic belief, angels are created from light and serve as messengers of God. They perform various tasks, including delivering revelations, recording human deeds, and guiding souls. In addition to Islam, the concept of angels appears in other religions, such as Christianity and Judaism. While their roles may vary, angels are generally seen as benevolent beings that assist and protect humans. They symbolize divine presence and serve as intermediaries between the divine and the earthly realm.
