Israfel ("Angel of the Last Judgment")

Also called Israfil, he is one of the great angels in Islamic lore, honored as the angel of the Last Judgment or angel of the Resurrection. At the end of the world, he will descend to the earth, stand upon the holy rock in Jerusalem, and blow the awesome trumpet that will awaken the dead from their slumber and summon all who have ever lived to come forth and be judged.




A beautiful angel, and the master of music, Israfel sings the praises of God in a thousand different tongues. Israfel is believed to have given assitance and counsel to the profit Muhammad. He is credit along with Gabriel and Michael as the angels sent by God from heaven to gather dirt from across the earth with which Adam was to be made.




He thus shared in their failure, as only Azrael was later able to accomplish the task. Perhaps the most touching story is the one of Israfel’s compassion. According to it, he looks down into hell six times a day and is so stricken with horror and grief at the plight of the damned souls that he begins to weep. His tears are so numerous and his weeping so intense that God must stop the flow himself, lest the entire world be flooded.




Poe once wrote in his poem "Israfel":


In heaven a spirit doth dwell
Whose heart-strings are a lute;
None sing so wildly well
As the angel Israfel,
And the giddy stars (so legends tell)
Ceasing their hymns, attend the spell
Of his voice, all mute...






è tutto vero... io sono cosi...
