Mārūt (English spelling)

…For example, Gabriel, also called the Holy Spirit or the Truthful Spirit, who conveyed revelations to the Prophet Muhammad and strengthened Jesus, Michael, who is in a comparable position to Gabriel, Isrāfīl, who blows the trumpet of the end times, the angel called Mālik, who guards Hell, the angels called Zabānīya, who are in charge of the torments in Hell, the angels who support God's throne and are always around it praising God, the angels on either side of each person who record his actions, and the two angels Munkar and Nakīr, who inquire into the dead and torment them in the graves. The Qur'an emphasizes the angels' absolute obedience to God, and later their infallibility, but the Qur'an also mentions two angels, Hārūt and Mārūt, who succumbed to sexual temptation and taught humans witchcraft. [Nakamura Kojiro]
[Angels appearing in Christian art]
Angels are generally depicted as human beings with a pair of wings.
