A few unusual angels. (sources: x, x, x, source for fourth is unknown.)
The first four aren’t that unusual; they line up pretty closely with the Biblical descriptions of cherubim and seraphim.
Ever wonder why most Bible stories with angels start out with the angel saying something to the effect of, “Okay, now don’t freak out…”?
IT’S BECAUSE THEY LOOK LIKE THAT.
and the fifth one is actually a Throne, which is technically an angel, but it’s the highest class of angels
Yep. Angels don’t look like humans with wings, folks.
These are so fucking cool.
Reblogging this again because I remembered something. (Can someone with more knowledge of the Qu’ran than me confirm/deny?)
Basically, what I heard is this; when the angel Jibril first appeared to Prophet Muhammed, peace be upon him, the angel’s appearance freaked Muhammed out so bad that he hid under his cloak.
In other words, the angel was so terrifying to look at that it made a fully grown married man hide under a blanket.
don’t forget that all them demons were once a third of the Host of Heaven too…
As horrifying as a burning baby at the centre of a gyroscope made of terror eyes…
