I believe the most powerful of all angels is Gabriel, or Gibreal in Arabic.
I believe Gabriel makes several really big appearances in many Christian, Jewish and Islamic stories. For example, in the Quran, he makes an appearance to Muhammad in a vision and takes him on a tour of heaven.

Well, in theology we were taught about 'heavenly beings'

cherubs - 2 wings
seraphs - 6 wings
angels - ??? maybe no wings at all...

Don't know if this is useful though ^^"

Cherubins are the naked chubby kids we see in the paintings, right?

Which angel was it that told Maria that she was going to have Jesus? was it Gabriel.

And which angel told Muhammed God's last message to the humans also known as "the Koran"?

I want to know all about angels grin

Ok, lets see what I remember from church school:

-Lucifer/satan - the fallen angel, exiled from heaven for uniting many angels in a battle against god and his faithful. His hatred for humans was what made him angry at god (who apparently loved his creations dearly). Struck down by Michael the archangel, god's mightest warrior.
-Michael -Often referred to as "the sword of God", redeemer of souls and the vanquisher of satan.
-Gabriel - Kind of like God's handiman, never liked humans much, told the virgin mary of her pregnancy. Also if I remember correctly, he took the form of the angel of death that killed the first born of everyone in Egypt who's door was not marked by the blood of a lamb.
- Humans cannot become angels, only saints.
- Angels are traditionally depicted with two wings

Hmm, I cannot remember much more about the other angels since christianity is a monotheistic religion and other angels are seldom mentioned.

I believe it's both ,god thought human as his perfect creation and that he wanted to become like god.Also,before Lucifer become a fallone angel was the -so called- prettiest,cleverest ,etc of all the other angels.
I'll check my memory for more information and i'll post. grin

I read somewhere that Azrael is the angel of death (in Islam.?)
and that he had hundreds of eyes one eye for each person that lives and when that person dies that eye close and when all eyes close something had happened
