The Two Angels of the Prophet’s (PBUH)

Michael (Mikh’al) is always to the left of Gabriel (Jibra’il), as he is always to the right.

Michael is not just a giver of blessings, but also the commander of war in Paradise against the forces of Satan; while Gabriel, sends messages from Allah and revises the Quran in Allah’s behalf.

Both are characterized usually by control, especially in not being excessively emotional or aggressive towards any earthly protests. However, they do have the abilities, to strike a person dead or in other manners if they attempt to harm a Prophet, for the Angel of Death (Malikul Mawt) is never far away from them.

They do not speak to people in the usual manner either; they speak from within the person towards the outlet of the ears, not the other way around like humans speak. When these angels speak to a person, they will have unusual feelings inside themselves, to sometimes a very warm feeling.

They are always known to not only protect a Prophet, but Gabriel is the mediator between Allah and the Prophet where the Prophet gets their knowledge and guidance. Michael on the other hand is the Prophet’s protector among other things.

It is said, that if one has a chance to see these two angels, they will get a taste of Paradise and the person that for lack of better words that they guard, is by proof of them a Prophet of Allah.

A Prophet is not just born, they are sent by Allah before their birth and all major Prophet’s their birth’s as well as their life have been foretold.

One thing about a Prophet, they have a very unusual life, why they may not know they are a Prophet, other then they seem to be able to do things different then other people, one thing most have wished for, is to be like other people; even though they know this is actually impossible.

To learn they are a Prophet is usually told to them in some manner, then they begin to understand their differences or given little hints within their life because of their unusual abilities.

Furthermore, one thing about a Prophet is they do have the abilities to ask Allah for the army in Paradise if they are needed or the angels.

You will not find any real depiction of what angels actually look like.
