In the Quran angels are distinct among one another, created in different grades 35:1 and assigned tasks according to their ranks 2:97,81:19-21. Regardless of their ranks and tasks assigned in the heavens and the earth, angels are in complete awe and submission to their Creator
21:19-20,37:164-6"There is none of us except that he has a specific station; it is we who are filled in ranks; it is we who glorify Allah".
They only act according to Allah's commands 19:64, without exceeding or falling short of their task, never deliberatly rebelling or disobeying
16:48-50,66:6,21:27"They do not exceed Him in speech and they act only according to His command".
They thus all possess a high, unfliching, unwavering spirituality level. The Quran illustrates that reality through a linguistic subtility. It calls the angels barar 80:16 while the righteous humans are called abrar 82:13etc. Both words stem from b-r-r and implies the same thing, to be firmly grounded, ie in one's dutifulness and love for God. The subtle difference lies in that the intensive plural/jamaa kuthra is used for the angels while the lesser plural/jamaa qilla is used for the humans. This is because humans may rebel and sin, while this potentiality is completely ruled out for the angels.
Their tasks include the transmission of a message to prophets or regular people, performance of miracles, fierce guardianship of certain places such as the 19 angels above hell 40:49-50,74:30-31. One of those is named Malik, possibly the leader of those angelic wardens of Hell 43:77. In Semitic languages names have a meaning and Malik, which entails mastership, is here used as a proper name. Had the common word "master" been intended it should have been followed by a qualification as in sura Fatiha describing Allah as "malik yawm eddin". Even if one were to argue that the qualification of mastership over hell is implicitly understood from context, then it would mean that the common word "malik" is a title applicable to each of the 19 masters of Hell. Whether it is the title or the proper noun that is meant, none of those angels, including the most prominent among them, have any authority other than what Allah has granted them. Nor do they have a say as to the fate of the dwellers of hell. This is seen from their cry of help, asking Malik to seek authorization from Allah to end their suffering.
