Angels in Different Religions

For Millennia there have been evidence of existence of Angels in many religions and cultures. Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and Mormon are just a few belief systems that refer to Angels in some way.

In the Buddhist religion, Devas are spiritual/celestial beings by nature with bodies or emanations of light or energy. They are also known as dharmapalas or dharma protectors. These angels are usually shown in physical form and do not interfere with the human world. However, devas do rejoice and applaud for good deeds done by humans.

The first known existence of angels emerged in 1000 BC with the Persian religion Zoroastrianism. This is the sister or brother religion of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Jewish concept of Angels stem from the influence of the Persian culture. In Judaism, the concept of angels was begotten from the Dead Sea scrolls and the book of Enoch. Also, the book of Talmud and Zohar delt with the relationship of angels with God and humans.

Islam, a monotheistic religion, refers to Maliaka. The dusty of Milaika, messenger, was to carry messages to Allah in 622 AD in Arabia. This angel is a Protector, deliverer of messenges, and wages ware against evil.
