Gabriel

Gabriel, Jibril in `Arabic, is the most famous Angel in Islam. Maybe because Gabriel is the most visible angel in the Islamic stories of the Bible and the Quran. In the Quran, Gabriel is the angel which reveals the Quran to Prophet Muhammad's heart, with God's command;

Say: "Whoever is the enemy of Gabriel," for surely he revealed it to your heart by God's command, verifying that which is before it and guidance and good news for the believers. Whoever is the enemy of God and His Angels and His Apostles and Gabriel and Michael, so surely God is the enemy of the unbelievers. Surrat ul Baqarah, 02:286-297

Therefore, obviously, Gabriel would be most famous to Muslims. Gabriel is the Angel which explained God's Signs to Mankind. Because it has a direct view-contact with the Humans, Muslims believe it is a Messenger. Gabriel is also called the Holy Spirit(16.102) and the Faithful Spirit(26.193) There are alot of mythologies about Gabriel in the Muslim world and we are just not going to mention them.

Michael

Michael, Mika'el in `Arabic, is a Guardian Angel. In the Quran, it is only mentioned once(the above verse, 2.297) with not much refference as to what it is. It is said that Michael had special charge, as the Guardian Angel, upon the Israelites.

Harot & Marot,

Harot and Marot, Harut and Marut in `Arabic, are called the Angels of Magic. They are the Angels who bring the magic powers to Earth, accessible for all, as the Quran relates:

And they followed what the Devils chanted in the Kingdom of Solomon, and Solomon was not an unbeliever, but the Devils disbelieved, they taught men magic and that was sent down to the two angels at Babel, Harot and Marot, yet these two taught no man until they had said, "Surely we are only a trial, therefore do not be a disbeliever." Even then men learned from these two, magic by which they might cause a separation between a man and his mate; and they cannot hurt with it any one except with God's permission, and they learned what harmed them and did not profit them, and certainly they know that he who bought it should have no share of good in the hereafter and evil was the price for which they sold their souls, had they but known this. Surrat ul Baqarah, 02:102

What the Quran calls "Devils" are the Witches and the Wizards of the Old. We hope people don't misunderstand us that they think we are saying Witches of today are Devils. No. Wicca, the Religion of Witches, has a basic rule of goodness; Harm none, Do what you will. With such law, you obviously wouldn't want to seperate couples. And the thing is, the Witches of Wicca always existed. They were just called Good Witches.
