An Angel from Heaven by Barbara Cartland
The sons of God became identified merely with righteous men, more precisely with descendants of Seth who had been seduced by women descended from Cain. The cause of evil was shifted from superior powers to humans themselves, and to the very beginning of history; the expulsion of Satan and his angels on the one hand and the original sin of humans on the other hand. Others denied any physical relation to material elements, depicting the fallen angels as purely spiritual entities.

Augustine, in his Civitas Dei , divided the world into two Civitates: Two societies distinct from each other and opposed to each other like light and darkness. On the other hand, the heavenly city is inhabited by righteuous men and the angels led by God. Accordingly, the inhabitants of the earthly city can only operate within their God-given framework.
The obedient angels are endowed with grace , giving them a deeper understanding of God's nature and the order of the cosmos. Illuminated by God-given grace, they became incapable to feel any desire to sin. The other angels, however, were not blessed with grace, thus they remained capable to sin. After these angels decided to sin, they fell from heaven and became demons. Like Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox Christianity shares the basic belief in fallen angels as spiritual beings who rebelled against God. Unlike Catholicism, there is no established doctrine about the exact nature of fallen angels, but Eastern Orthodox Christianity unanimously agrees that the power of fallen angels is always inferior to God.
Therefore, belief in fallen angels can always be assimilated with local lore, as long it does not break basic principles. As in Catholicism, fallen angels tempt and incite people into sin, but mental illness is also linked to fallen angels. Together with demons, they continue to cause sin and corruption on earth. Like Catholisicm, Protestantism continues the concept of fallen angels as merely spiritual entities, [77] however it rejects angelology established by Catholicism.
Martin Luther 's sermons of the angels recount the exploits of the fallen angels rather than dealing with an angelic hierarchy. According to Zanchi, the angels rebelled when the incarnation of Christ was revealed to them in incomplete form. In 19th-century Universalism , Universalists such as Thomas Allin [97] claimed that Clement of Alexandria , Origen , and Gregory of Nyssa taught that even the Devil and fallen angels will eventually be saved.
The concept of fallen angels is well known in Islam.
An Angel From Heaven
The Quran mentions the fall of Iblis in several Surahs. However, the latter angels did not accompany Iblis. Fallen angels work in entirely different ways in the Quran and Tafsir. In a Shia narrative from Ja'far al-Sadiq , Idris Enoch met an angel, which the wrath of God fell upon, and his wings and hair were cut off; after Idris prayed for him to God, his wings and hair were restored. In return they become friends and at his request the angel took Idris to the Heavens to meet the angel of death.
Thus, the Quran may refer not to the earthly Ezra, but to the heavenly Ezra, identifying him with the heavenly Enoch, who in turn became identified with the angel Metatron also called lesser YHWH in merkabah mysticism. The Quran repeatedly tells about the fall of Iblis. According to Surah 2: After the command, only Iblis refused to follow the instruction. When God asked for the reason behind Iblis' refusal he boasted himself superior to Adam, because he was made of fire , thereupon God expelled him from heaven.
In the early Meccan period , Iblis appears as a degraded angel. Therefore, they rejected the concept of fallen angels and emphasized the nobility of angels by quoting certain Quranic verses like However the denotion jinni can not clearly exclude Iblis from being an angel. Therefore, this verse could not exclude Iblis from being an angel.
Like Iblis, Mastema requests God's permission to tempt humanity, and both are limited in their power, that is, not able to deceive God's servants.
Harut and Marut are a pair of angels mentioned in 2: Although the reason behind their stay on earth is not mentioned in the Quran, [] a narration became canonizied in Islamic tradition. Consequently, God offered a test to determine whether or not the angels would do better than humans for long: The angels choose two or in some accounts three among themselves. However, on Earth, these angels entertained and acted upon sexual desires and were guilty of idol worship, whereupon they even killed an innocent witness. For their deeds, they were not allowed to ascend to Heaven again.
In accordance with 3 Enoch , al-Kalbi named three angels, who descended to earth and even gave them their Enochian names. He explained that one of them returned to heaven and the other two changed their names to Harut and Marut. Rather the stories about fallen angels are related to a rivary between humans and angels.

Grabbe calls the story of the sexual intercourse between angels and women "an old myth in Judaism".
However, their ethereal body, they share with the Christian notion of fallen angels, would allow them to climb up to heaven to steel its news, thus passing secret information to soothsayers, a concept corresponding with the Greek Daimon. The Quran also refers to the belief of jinn, trying to climb up to heaven. As Patricia Crone points out, one of the characteristic of fallen angels is, that they fell from heaven, not that they try to get back up to it.
