It says...

It says: “…Who appointed the angels messengers having wings two, three, and four…” Then the verse continues saying: “…He adds to creation what He pleases; verily Allah is All-Powerful over every thing.” Allah (s.w.t.) adds to the creation whatever His Will and His Wisdom require including wings and other things. In this regard, the verse is absolute and it contains any kind of adding, irrespective of tallness of the body, moderation in face and bodily power and good intellect, and other merits.

📌Some of the commentators say that the purpose of ‘adding to creation’ is: beautiful face, nice voice, and fair hair. Note There are many verses in the Qur’an that are about the angels’ attributes, specialties, missions, and duties. Even the Qur’an has considered the faith in angels in the row of the faith in Allah, prophets, and heavenly Books, and this is evidence upon the fundamental importance of this subject.

The Holy Qur’an says: “The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. (They) all believe in Allah, His angels, His Books and His messengers…” [^1] No doubt the angels are among the Unseen things for proving which by these attributes and specialties there is no way save the traditional proofs, and because of belief in Unseen, we must accept them.

On the whole, the Qur’an explains the specialties of the angels as follows: 1- The angels are some wise and intellectual beings of the honourable servants of Allah. “…but (angels) are (His) honoured servants.” [^2] They obey Allah (s.w.t.) and never commit sin.
