The answer

All angels are monotheists and know Allah and His attributes. Their state is more perfect than merely professing monotheism and knowing some of Allah’s attributes. They do not disdain His worship nor do they grow weary; they glorify Him night and day without ceasing. Angels are honored servants who do not precede Allah in speech and do what they are commanded, and they do not intercede except for those with whom He is pleased. All angels are infallible from disobeying the command of Allah Almighty, and this is the correct view. As for the story of Harut and Marut and the story of Iblis, the first has no authentic narration from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the majority deny that Iblis is from the angels.
