In the Islamic terminology Islam, Judaism and Christianity are named with
"The Celestial Religions". In these religions the belief in angeis is a comman subject
of the faith. There are many passages that build the angelic beliefs intheir sacred texts.
Exist of the Angels and their natures, types, dasses and names are discussed in oftheir
angelogies. The Major angels announced their names have been seen in every one of
them. There are same similar creeds and knowledges about these angels among these
religions. But alsa there are same different and contrary creeds among them. The
Muslirns believe in that Gabriel, Michael, Saraphiel, Azrael are four rnajor angels.
Qgbriel and Michael mentioned with these narnes in The Koran and Taralı and The
Bibles. Azrael is not mentionedin the sacred books with this name. He is mentioned as
"The Angel ofDeath" only. Alsa Seraphiel isn't mentionedin the sacred books. But he
talked about himse!f in the jew's apokrative books and Prophet Muhammed's hadiths.
The beliefs of religions about their works or duties and characteristics sametimes are
smilar and samtimes are different. When we compare Islarn's angelic creeds with the
other' s, we can say that Judaism and Christianity have got same opposite beliefs. Alsa
we can say that there are same Marks demonstrate the Judaic effects on same of
Muslim's angelic accepts. From the Kalamic perspective applying to Korarı is
necessary for distinguishing between right and \vrong beliefs about the major angels.
