The answer

Angels are servants of Allah, created from light. They are not described as male or female, nor do they procreate. They glorify Allah day and night without ceasing. They will die like all living beings, for Allah Almighty says: "Everyथिंग will perish except His Face." As for Jibreel (peace be upon him), he has not died, and he is among the closest angels to Allah. He is the bearer of Allah's revelation to His prophets, and he will be among the last of Allah's creation to die. He descends to earth every year on the Night of Qadr with the angels, for Allah Almighty says: "The angels and the Spirit descend therein."
