Two Angels Harut, and Marut mentioned in Quran

Harut and Marut are two angels mentioned in the second surah of the Quran, who were sent down to test the people at Babylon by performing deeds of magic. The Qur’an indicates that although they warned the Babylonians not to imitate them or do as they were doing, some members of their audience failed to obey and became sorcerers, thus damning their own souls.
And assuredly We have sent down Unto thee evident signs,and none shall disbelieve therein save the transgressors.

Is it that whenever they enter into a covenant some party among them cast it aside? Aye! most of them even believe not.
And whenever there came unto them an apostle from Allah confessing to that which was with them, a Party among those who were vouchsafed the Book, cast Allahs Book behind their backs as though they knew not.

And they follow that which the Satans recited in the reign of Sulaiman; and Sulaiman blasphemed not, but the Satans blasphemed.; teaching people magic; and they follow that also which was sent down unto the two angels in Babil, Harut, and Marut. Unto none the twain taught it until they had said: We are but a temptation, so blaspheme not; but they learned from the twain that wherewith they might separate man from his wife; and they could harm none thereby save by Allahs will. And they have learnt that which harmeth them, and profiteth them not; and assuredly they know that whosoever purchaseth it, his is no portion in the Hereafter. And surely vile is the price for which they have bartered themselves, if they but knew!


And had they believed and feared, surely better had been the reward from before Allah, if they but knew!
