List of angels in theologyThis is a list of angels in theology, astrology and magic, including both specific angels (e.g., Gabriel) and types of angels (e.g., seraphim).
YézidismeLe 'yézidisme, sharfadin' ou religion des sept anges, est une religion monothéiste de la communauté ethno-religieuse yézidie qui est présentée par ses pratiquants (les yézidis, yazidis ou yésides) comme plongeant ses racines dans l'Iran antique. Les yézidis forment une minorité confessionnelle. Ils sont adeptes d’un monothéisme issu d'anciennes croyances. On retrouve en effet de nombreuses similitudes entre le yézidisme actuel et les religions de l'Iran ancien.
SheitanA shaitan or shaytan ( šayṭān, שָׂטָן, "devil", "satan", or "demon", plural: šayāṭīn (شَيَاطِين)) is an evil spirit in Islam, inciting humans (and the jinn) to sin by "whispering" (وَسْوَسَة, waswasa) in their hearts (قَلْب qalb). Although invisible to humans, shayāṭīn are imagined to be ugly and grotesque creatures created from (hell-)fire. The Qur'an speaks of various ways that the shayāṭīn tempt humans into sin. They may teach sorcery, float below the heavens to steal the news of the angels, or lurk near humans without being seen.
Seven ArchangelsThe concept of Seven Archangels is found in some works of early Jewish literature and in Christianity. In those texts, they are referenced as the angels who serve God directly. The Catholic Church venerates seven archangels: in the Latin Christianity three are invoked by name (Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael) while the Eastern Catholic Churches name seven. The Lutheranism and the Anglicanism generally recognize three to five archangels: Michael and Gabriel, as well as Raphael, Uriel and Jerahmeel.
