God refers to His angels as "stars":

"The MYSTERY of the seven stars which thou sawest in My right hand ...The seven STARS are THE ANGELSof the seven churches..." (Rev.1:20).

He also tells us that the number of His angels CAN'T BE NUMBERED, there are so many:

"...ye are come unto Mount Sion... and to AN INNUMERABLE COMPANY OF ANGELS..." (Heb.12:22).

It would seem, then, that "the number of stars there are in the sky" are how many angels God made. Does The Bible bear this out?

Yes it does. He reveals to us that:

"Are they [the angels] not all MINISTERING SPIRITS, sent forth to minister FOR THEM WHO SHALL BE HEIRS OF SALVATION?" (Heb.1:14)

So, according to God's inspired Word, there is AN ANGEL FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING, created in God's image, WHO SHALL RECEIVE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD. [perhaps this is the passage from which people derive the idea of "guardian angels." The Bible doesn't say "guardian angel" anywhere in the Scriptures... but the principle is evident here]

The biblical clincher regarding the angels numbering as many as the stars in the sky [too many to count] is revealed in God's oath to Abraham:

"Then the LORD brought Abram outside beneath the night sky and told him, 'Look up into the heavens and COUNT THE STARS IF YOU CAN. YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE LIKE THAT - TOO MANY TO COUNT!'" (Gen.15:4 NLT New Living Translation)

Further proof is derived from the revelation that it's Abraham's children WHO SHALL RECEIVE [or "inherit"] THE SALVATION mentioned in Hebrews 1:14:

"Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH, THE SAME ARE THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM." (Gal.3:7)

"And IF YE BE CHRIST's, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED, and HEIRS [of the Salvation of Hebrews 1:14] ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE [God gave to Abram in Genesis 15:4 -- cited above].

So, don't be too concerned with how many angels there may or may not be. Pray, instead, for the blessing of the "personalministry" [help and assistance toward your personal Salvation] by the one God assigned to you.

Allah doesn't exist, so she/he/it does not have any angels. Angels don't exist either.

If you are talking about fiction, it depends on the story you are using as a source.

Wikipedia

Michael and Gabriel are recognized as archangels in Judaism, Islam, the Baha'i Faith, and by most Christians. Some Protestants consider Michael to be the only archangel. Raphael—mentioned in the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit—is also recognized as an archangel in the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael are venerated in the Roman Catholic Church with a feast on September 29 (between 1921 and 1969, March 24 for Gabriel and October 24 for Raphael), and in the Eastern Orthodox Church on November 8 (if the Julian calendar is used, this corresponds to November 21 in the Gregorian). The named archangels in Islam are Jibrael, Mikael, Israfil, and Azrael. Jewish literature, such as the Book of Enoch, also mentions Metatron as an archangel, called the "highest of the angels", though the acceptance of this angel is not canonical in all branches of the faith.

Some branches of the faiths mentioned have identified a group of seven Archangels, but the named angels vary, depending on the source. Gabriel, Michael, and Raphael are always mentioned; the other archangels vary, but most commonly include Uriel, who is mentioned in 2 Esdras.

In Zoroastrianism, sacred texts allude to the six great Amesha Spenta (literally "Bounteous/Holy Immortals")[2] of Ahura Mazda.
