"Allah sends forth the angels as his messengers,
with two, three, or four pairs of wings."

"The word Angel comes from the Greek "angelos" meaning "messenger". Angels are heaven's messengers of light and some of the greatest world legends come from accounts of angels appearing to human as divine emissaries."
"Speak ye who best can tell, ye sons of light
Angels, for ye behold him and with songs
And Choral Symphonies, day without night
Circling his throne rejoicing."
