What other Angels are there in Islam instead of Angel Gabriel?

I know about Angel Gabriel and his influence, but are there are any other angels that play a significant role?

1. Michael (Mikaayil), Raphael (Israfil) and the Angel of Death (Malak al-Maut, or Azrael) are the most important, but there are Malik, who rules Hell, and Ridwan, who's responsible for Paradise, Munkar and Nakir, who interrogate a person after their death about their good and bad deeds, and Harut and Marut, who were sent to challenge an Israeli tribe. EDIT: The person below me is mistaken. The "evil one" is Iblis, who is a jinn, not an angel. Lucifer isn't part of Islam.
2. they are more but their names are not known, as in the Christian doctrine 1) Jibreel (Gabriel) and (2) Mikaa’eel (Michael) (3) Israafeel (4) Malik (5) Munkar (6) Nakeer (7) Haaroot and (8) Maaroot Also Lucifer the evil one
3. Islamically, all Angels are good and none are evil. I will give you a link that contains details about certain Angels. Every angel has an assignment. Angel Jibril is the Messenger of Allah to his prophets. Angel Israfil is the angel assigned to blow the horn on the Day of Judgment. ^Asra’il is the Angel of death, whose assignment is to capture the soul of the person when it leaves his body at death. Ridwan is the angel in charge of Paradise, Malik the angel in charge of Hellfire. There are angels in charge of the clouds, the winds, and the plants. With each human there are eight (8) angels--whose assignment is to protect that person from the harm of the jinn. It was narrated that if it were not for these angels, the jinn would play with the person like the person plays with a ball. The zabaniyah are angels in charge of torturing the blasphemers in Hellfire. There are other angels who roam around, writing down the leaves that drop off the trees. Some angels are in charge of delivering the salutations to the Messenger of Allah in his grave of the one not present at the grave of the Prophet who says salams to him. There is an angel in charge of the womb of the woman. He writes matters on the forehead of the fetus when the fetus is 120 days old and his soul joins his body. There are the angels who carry the ^Arsh. Rata’il is the angel in charge of relieving the sadness of the believers; Mika’il is the angel in charge of the rain. Angel Isma^il is in charge of 12,000 angels in one sky who are his direct assistants. There are the angels who write down the deeds of the person-each one has two with him, one who writes the good deeds, and the other who writes the mubah and the bad deeds. There are the angels, Munkar and Nakir, who question the person in the grave, and many, many more.
