Abstract This study aims to examine the angels in the perspective of the Qur'an (Comparative Study of the interpretation of al-Ṭabarî and Quraish Shihab). This type of research is library research with a qualitative descriptive approach. The data collection method is a documentary, while the data analysis method uses inductive, deductive and comparative methods. The results show that al-Ṭabarî is one of the commentators who offers a method of interpretation of bi al-Ma'ṡȗr with the narrative approach of the Companions, and tâbi'în, interpretation of angels tends to refer to Isriliyat. This can be seen from the interpretation which says that in essence angels and demons are a group of people in heaven. Devil used to be named ‘Azâzîl. While Quraish Shihab is one of the commentators who emphasizes bi al-ra'y interpretation patterns with the language analysis approach. According to the Quraish Shihab, that istiṡnâ’ 'in the word illâ Iblîs is istiṡnâ “which is munqaṭi” so that the word "ill" means "but", so according to him, Devil is not part of the angel. Keywords: Angels; Al-Qur'an; al-Ṭabarî; Quraish Shihab
