Israfil

Israfil (Arabic: إِسْـرَافِـيْـل, ʾIsrāfīl) or Israfel^[1] is the angel who blows the trumpet to signal Qiyamah (the Day of Judgment) in Islam.^[2] Though unnamed in the Quran, he is one of the four archangels in Islamic tradition, along with Michael, Gabriel, and Azrael.^[1] The "Book of Dead" described Israfil as the oldest of all archangels.^[3] He is commonly thought of as the counterpart of the Judeo-Christian archangel Raphael.^[4]^[5]

For the angel by this name in the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, see List of Angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion § Israfel.

Israfil writes with the pen (qalam) the destiny of humans and all commands of God to the (other) archangels. With another wing, Israfil carries the pen, with another Israfil covers his face unable to look at God.^[6]
