Zabaniyah

The Zabaniyah (Arabic: الزبانية, romanized: zabāniyya) is the name of angels in Islam who are tasked to torture the sinners in hell.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] Their names appeared in many places in Quran, such as Al-Alaq 96:18. "Nineteen angels of Hell" in At-Tahrim 66:6; Al-Muddaththir 74:30, where they are called "Angels of punishment"; "Guardians of Hell",^[5] "Wardens of hell" (Arabic: خَزَنَةِ جَهَنَّمَ, romanized: khazanati jahannam^[6]), "Angels of hell" or "The keepers"; according to Al-Mulk 67:8.^[7]

According to Al-Qurtubi, Zabaniyah is a plural name a group of an angel.^[8]^[9] Some^[who?] consider the Zabaniyah to be the hell's angels' subordinates.^[10] As Angels, the zabaniyyat are, despite their gruesome appearance and actions, ultimately subordinate to God,^[11]^: 82 and thus their punishments are considered in Islamic theology as just.^[12]

According to the Quran and the ahadith, the zabaniyyat are nineteen in number^[13] and Maalik is their leader.^[14]^[15]^[16]
