Cherub
A cherub (Hebrew כרוב; plural cherubim, כרובים) is a supernatural creature mentioned several times in the Tanakh, or Old Testament, Book of Revelation and in certain media classes.
Cherubim in Islam
Muslim traditions narrated in the Hadith literature describe how Muhammad ascended to heaven on the back of Buraq, a human-headed winged horse. This sounds very like a cherub; however, the Qur'an neither mentions any such beings, nor describes angels in this way.
