Pop culture is filled with depictions of fallen angels, once holy beings that have succumbed to sin. But how and why did the idea of fallen angels even come about in the first place? Here's the untold truth of fallen angels.
Fallen angels are basically angels that have given up on the good and righteous path and turned to evil, right?
Well, not necessarily. It's true that Jewish and Christian traditions believe that fallen angels were originally just as holy as any of the other angels, but fell when the most beautiful of them - Lucifer - decided to rebel and enticed others to go with him.
But in Hindu traditions, it's a little different. They believe that the creator god, Brahma, actually made some angelic beings good and some evil from the very beginning. Why? Because it's meant to illustrate the natural order of things, and balance in the universe.
And fallen angels don't even exist in Islam, where traditions says that all angels are good, including the ones tasked with overseeing those whose evil souls have landed them in hell. These angels are lording over hell, yes, but they aren't fallen, as they are still doing divine work. There's another explanation for Satan there, too, and it basically says he's not an angel, he's a jinn: a creature made from fire and free will.
Put a pin in that, because there will be more about this pesky "free will" stuff later.
