Angel Pictures: Muslim

A number of factors conspire to make this section small. First, Islam has generally objected to the depiction of the human form; most of these images are from Persia (Iran), where this prohibition had less force. Second, there just isn't the same "market" for Islamic angel images as there are for Western—particularly tacky or unclad—ones. I have not yet come across an Muslim angel "fansite," and the Christian and New Age ones are not generally interested in Islam and its angels.
