In Islamic theology, angels are one of the primary types of created beings that exist within the unseen realm. In Judaism and Christianity, angels can disobey God. In Islam, they cannot.

In Islamic theology, reality includes both the visible world and the unseen world. Knowledge of the unseen is believed to come through divine revelation, particularly the Qur’an and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad.

Module 11 explains that Islam teaches both a visible world and an unseen world, and that belief in the unseen is a basic part of Islamic faith. It introduces the main unseen beings in Islamic theology—angels and jinn—and explains that knowledge of this unseen realm comes through divine revelation, especially the Qur’an and Hadith. The module emphasizes that reality in Islam includes more than what human beings can directly observe.
