No, in Islam, angels do not possess a gender, meaning there are no female or male angels.
Angels are distinct spiritual beings created by Allah, characterized by their unwavering obedience and devotion. Their nature is fundamentally different from that of humans or animals. Unlike created beings that exist on Earth, angels are not defined by biological attributes such as gender, nor do they engage in processes like marriage or procreation.
Key aspects of angels in Islam include:
- They do not have a gender (neither male nor female).
- They do not marry or procreate.
- They are honored servants of Allah, constantly fulfilling His commands.
- They intercede for humankind with Allah's explicit permission.
- They are described as having wings, with the number of wings varying according to their specific roles and ranks, as mentioned in Islamic texts.
Therefore, the concept of "female angels" or "male angels" as understood in a human context does not apply to Islamic belief. Attributing gender, particularly femininity, to angels is considered a misconception and goes against the established teachings of Islam regarding their nature.
