Islam's Jibril, for one (5)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for angel that I've seen before include "darling!" , "One backing plays" , "Spiritual being - financial backer" , "One usually obliging" , "Person of beauty, purity or kindness?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
