In a parallel world live angels, divine in the disembodied beauty of reality. The stench is woven from the exchange of light, bringing harmony and a sense of worship to the Lord of lights. We learn through the pages of wise books, turning the corner of our hearts to the sacred revelations of the Koran, where hidden knowledge has been collected from the depths of thousands of years. Let the curtain of history open for a little while, so that the eyes of the present can reveal the enchanting light of the brilliant heavenly creatures - the angels.
An angel in Islam is seen as a messenger. The belief in angels is clearly stated in the Koran and is one of the main tenets of Islam. When angels are prohibited from speaking directly about God’s dislike, such a person becomes an atheist.
Angels in Islam
Allah has shown us the light of great and incredible forces, and the power of the heavenly beings - the angels. They represent the infusion of absolute goodness, they have a most important mission, and their main purpose is to serve the lord, offering him honors day and night. Angels are the faithful servants of Allah, His majestic heavenly army, which overcame the rebels who rebelled, and the genies. The Qur'an often provides insight into the light facts, as well as a detailed description of the nature of the settlements, and more about the activities. The stench beckons with incredible power, stateless, sinless, not to be demanded by hedgehogs, behind their backs there are wings that cover the entire sky. The stench is incredibly beautiful: with its brilliant likeness, piety and nobility.
All the names of angels in Islam cannot be over-examined, there are a lot of them, but there are a few of the most important ones. All others are guardians and bear responsibility for souls. The wondrous celestial things have been reduced to the benefit of those who wish to receive them.
An angel in Islam can be present through the eyes, but it is impossible for ordinary people to notice it. Only prophets reveal such an incredible revelation in order to convey the will of Allah to people. Angelic essences are called the word “malayaka”, although the stench among themselves is not equal to the hierarchy. The stench just disappears from the goiter, and the skin has a soreness. Behind the names you can guess the most powerful people who have earned great fame. Other nameless things signify actions in the sphere of Muslim life.
Names of angels in Islam (heads)
As you might have guessed, there are even richer angelic essences. It’s impossible to overthink all of them. The main angels in Islam are:
- Jabrail - is obliged to serve as a safe haven between Allah and the prophets.
- Michael stands on the side of the heavenly angelic army, under whom the winds and glooms are found.
- Israfil - blows at the sacred rig to announce the beginning of the end of the world;
- Malik - stand at the entrance to the inferno.
- Harut and Marut talk about chaklunnism, explaining that nothing can be stagnated. Nemov is punished for the spoiled fruit; for the spoiled fruit, retribution will come.
- Munkar ta Nakir - to come before the dead to learn about the activities.
- Azrael is the angel of death in Islam, takes away human souls.
The variety of angels by rank
Other heavenly creations will emerge, but they have no names. Protective angels rise to those who have lost their self-consciousness. The stench is responsible for every person in order to protect the important lady. Just because Allah punishes people to try, the angels unnecessarily deprive them of it. Acts receive orders from the moment they are born. The stinkers are called scribe angels.
It’s a place of relaxation - on the right and left shoulder of the people sitting on them, they write down their thoughts and thoughts. At the hour of Judgment Day, the hour has come to voice the written down and viconati of the just virok. There are angels who help people during the hour of prayer, abduct people during the hour of war, and bury unborn children. And the angels who transmit the teachings from the faithful to the Prophet Muhammad. Its own group of angels represents the song of life's situation. The actions of angels do not interfere with human activities. Some of them are located on the throne of Allah, others are protected by natural elements, and others are led by stars in the sky.
All angelic beings are endowed with wings, although they cannot guess the wings of birds - and they are also created according to the ability of angels and what they are busy doing. The stronger the messenger, the more space he occupies. The stinks do not bend their will, with their anger, body, and do not subside to the point of calm. It is much easier for angels to become righteous than for people, who are obliged to constantly stream their lives.
Angels in Islam: description
Coming from the descriptions of the Koran, the angels cannot tell fortunes with the glance of the Almighty:
- Creations were created long before the appearance of mankind.
- And the incorporeal essences that a human eye can see.
- You can’t guess the man with the wings, its essence is completely different.
- Angels are majestic, and the number of krills ranges from two to hundreds. The Prophet describes Gabriel, who overshadowed the heavens, as follows: “These six hundred wings are incredibly large, from them sparkling drops fall, which predict coral and pearls.” All angels were created beautiful by unearthly beauty.
- In such cases they accept human likeness. The angel Gabriel in Islam was before the prophet in the form of Dihya ibn Khalifa Al-Kalbi or taking the form of a Bedouin. He put on the white robe and sat opposite the prophet to teach him about the faith and the signs of the rest of the year.
- While the angels want to appear like humans, they stink without expression.
- I will attribute names to the angels, but only a few of them have been confirmed by reliable texts.
- To serve in heaven and earth, everything that exists on earth lies within the scope of their activities.
- People may need to read their thoughts. First of all people to clear up their sins, the angelic scribes inform Allah about them.
- Podolayut neimoverniy stani bliskavichno.
- Resign yourself to the will of the Almighty, the stench of His humble servants.
- Maintain regular contact with people. They accompany people from the people until death, but they don’t come to the grave.
Functions of active angels
There are several types of angelic essences, the skins of the newcomers vary their function. The regular worshiper of the Almighty has a part of the angels under the name “Mukarrabun”. They constantly praise Allah, saying that when the heavens open, they will not stop adoring the majesty of their Lord.
The angels, who received the name “Kiramen Katibin,” regularly keep records of the earthly affairs of people and write a special book of life for all human affairs. The angels of “Haphaz” stand on guard against people, if they did not exist, the believers would be under the influx of devilish forces.
Angels, possessed by Azrael, take the souls of the dead.
There are also two angels who will teach us about religion, God and the prophet. Tse Munkar ta Nakir. The stench appears before the dead at the grave in order to remove all traces. Before the unbelievers, the stench appears as dirty black creatures, inspiring a thunderous voice and eyes that glow. Before true believers, one takes on an absolutely respectful image, like the appearance of a good, sympathetic friend, in order to talk about all the diligence and kindness. There are 19 angels serving at the furnace, which gave rise to the name “Zabani”. The stench looms larger and larger, the stench is extremely cruel to all sinners.
The Almighty chose prophets not only among people, but among angels. The prophets among them are respected by the main angels: the archangels Gabriel, Israfil, Michael and Israel. They are entrusted with concluding not only the prophetic messages, but also other sayings of Allah:
- The order of the Almighty to each of the prophets was honored to be carried by the Archangel Gabriel. The greatest proximity to Allah is what the prophets tell us about the defense of the Caucasus. The gentry's rice is heavy, with overwhelming force, capable of chewing and taking on different forms. At all times, two people can appear before the Prophet Muhammad. First of all, he appeared before the prophet in heaven: there were six hundred wings that stretched from heaven to earth. Suddenly the wine is ascending.
- Angel Michael in Islam flows into everything that happens on earth. Youmu is assisted by a large number of invisible servants. It's full of clouds and winds, without which every plank and snowflake can't touch the surface of the earth.
- Archangel Israfil was entrusted with the order of the majestic trumpet, similar to the river. I am following the order of Allah to go to Suur, which will mark the End of the World. At the sound of the trumpet, everyone alive fell into a thirsty state of panic, and then died. Everything beautiful collapses under the sky. Israfil will blow again so that everyone who has ever lived on earth will come to life. And everything will be collected in a cleared court.
- The angel Azrael in Islam collects human souls after the end of the earthly journey.
Angels on shoulders
Every Muslim is endowed with guardian angels, who exchange two daughters for wealth. One of them spreads out in front of the person, the other a little behind. Vapors of stench change day and night. The constantly present human angels-scribes change in two for two shifts: one is right-handed, the other is left-handed. The one who is right-handed remembers the good things, and the one who is left-handed remembers sins and filth. A left-handed right-hander occupies a higher position than a left-handed one. Angels on the shoulders in Islam play a great role, the remains of the stench will remember everything that people ask for and work, accumulating testimonies that may be demonstrated on the Day of Judgment. It is necessary to reach a well-deserved verdict for any person, and not to lie down from his worldly position in marriage (doorkeeper or minister) and to honor the faith (Muslim or Christian). In such situations, it is better to close up immediately, or even hotter. Even angry words will fall like an important burden on the cup of sins, and some not good ones.
As a believer, having consumed the sinful works, the angel does not harm anything for three years. As soon as a person misbehaved about the scourge and repented and sought refuge from Allah, then the sins are cancelled. And if you will no longer be deafened on the day of resurrection, you will no longer be the cause of suffering and torment.
In the interval between morning and afternoon prayers there is a change of angelic prayer. Groups of angels change one another night and day in order to ascend to the mountain and confess before the Almighty, who immediately asks in what state their ward is.
Azrael: Zustrich with an angel who brings death
Azrael is the angel of death in Islam. He is the fourth of the greatest prophets. It arrives when life has come to an end. Death will come to every one of those who are alive, but understand that it has come, people can, having brought the great Israel before them. The believers have a terrible evil spirit, there are thousands of creatures, and there are incredibly large numbers of eyes. People often marvel at how they can suddenly find themselves in different places. The Angel of Death in Islam announces the command of Allah, so everything can be done. There are millions of servants in the government of Israel. This angel is committed to instilling in the victorious work and obligatory obligations, as if he had sworn to God, he does everything pedantically and diligently. The angels of mercy and punishment come from him, as they come for the soul of a sinner to the greedy, and for the soul of the righteous to the beautiful.
Help Israel
The following angels support Israel:
- Naziat - to reach the punitive angels who come to the souls of the infidels. Their guises were reliably covered with black cloth and they bore the currants from them. The stench roughly rips the souls from the body, leading straight to the inferno.
- Nashitat - up to righteous Muslims. The stinks are smoldering, so they wield sharp swords, which quickly and painlessly destroy the soul and body. Their various guises are scented with a thin white seam, and the aroma that comes out of them is enriched with the smell of paradise.
- Sabihat and sabikat help other angels of death to unbind themselves. Behind the scenes, stench interrupts the lives of weak creatures. Sometimes the stench can warn the righteous of his approaching death and prepare him for his imminent death.
- Coming out of darkness, Israel, or Israfil, is also the angel of death. In appearance, this is a greedy essence, close to Allah. An angel will announce the end of the Light, blowing into a trumpet, whose voice will spread throughout the Universe.
Concept "scorched angel"
There is no such concept as “scorched angel” in Islam. They are all created sinless by their nature. It’s true that people will guess the names of Harut, Iblis, Marut, and the stench will be set until they burn. Although such a thought is not correct. In the order of the Almighty, all angelic essences are unknown. Iblis is a genie, like a fiery subspecialty. Vіn vіdpovidі for seeing Adam and Eve from heaven. Allah sent Marut and Harut to earth to test the human faith. At that hour, the Babylonians burst into spells, for which they sought all help. Angels in the guise of extraordinary people tried to explain to people the evilness of their addiction, but no one cared. Marut and Harut did not transform into scorched angels, the stench was smeared with the Vikonati most entrusted.
Guardian Angels of the Believers
The guardian angel in Islam helps people in this eternal light. It is good to show the believer his fears in order to guard him in time, as well as those that inspire love, in order to increase the value of his heart. They are patrons and healers, offering prayers to Allah for people and asking for the forgiveness of sinners. Angels encourage people in moments of fear and sorrow, give fortune telling about things, encourage them when they don’t want to do anything. As people managed to overcome sadness and difficulties, having accustomed themselves to piety and truthfulness, the Almighty went to the next angel with a message about Shana, who checks in heaven. The angel embellishes his self-ness, transforms himself into a kind spivozmovnik at Svidomosti and a friend on his self-importance. If a believer is on the verge of death, he encourages and asks not to be afraid of the unknown.
The angelic light is bright and enchanting. In Islam, ideas are especially complex. An angel in Islam is not brought up to deities, people do not offer prayers to him and do not worship him. There are no good, evil or scorched angels. After the end of life, a person will never be transformed into a heavenly reality. The guardian angel guides his beloved through the thorns of life in order to invisibly protect him. During an important time, misfortune is covered with a gentle wing, the rustle of leaves in the wind whispers the correct answer, does not let you fall at a sharp turn, guides you forward, without asking for anything. An angel in Islam expresses his significance in this way.
In Judaism
Josef Nesvadba, the story of “Angel of Death” - “After a few years, the mirror that rises in the sky, sleeps and merges with its planet into a single gigantic brilliant mass. Burn everything down too much. It’s not the truth, as far as people know. I don't understand. And having lost myself. There is only one person who can die on Earth.”
Angel of Death in Islam. “Proverbs” - “In the time appointed by the Lord, people suffer from illness or their body assumes its functions, which means a request to the Angel of Death to Israel.”
In mass culture
- The Angel of Death appears in the series “Enchanted” (16x03 – Death Takes A Halliwell, and also in 7x05 – Styx Feet Under). Same with the series “American History of the Terribles” (07x02 – Dark Cousin).
- The film “Dogma,” directed by Kevin Smith, features the angels of death of Loki and Bartleby, which is how the plot of the film is related. There, that’s how Azrael appears, but in the film he is a demon, a great angel-muse, who was sent to Hell for the sake of fighting in the hour of war between Heaven and Hell.
- Angel of Death is a song by the American thrash metal band Slayer from the album Reign in Blood (1986)

Angel of Death
yangoli death(Hebrew: מלאך המות, Hebrew: מַלְאַךְ הַמָּוֶת, malach ha-mavet- “messenger of death”) – angels who take the soul (life).

In religion
In Biblical Judaism
In Judaism, the angel of death is the representative of God, whom God sends to take life and soul. The angel of death passed through the everyday life, on which lay the blood of the lamb, and spared the firstborn. To others, death was “brought”, as a result of which their life was added. In Egypt, in one night, death reduced all the leaders from thinness to humanity (Exodus 12:29-32).
By analyzing the text of the book Exodus 12:23,29, you can learn how to prevent the Lord from destroying the leaders, or punishing the destroyer of Hebrews. שָׁחַת, Shahat take a hit. Shakhat is the name of one of the angels of death, as stated first in the Bible.
The book Exodus 12:12-13 has another name for the angel of death - Hebrew. מַשְׁחִית, Mashekhit.
The third name of the angel of death appears in another part of Shmuel 24:15-17:
Daver Hebrew דָּ֫בֶר Virazka, pestilence, plague or else sting. At the first part of the Chronicle 21:15 there is a record, what to say, what is the angel of guilt, Hebrew. שָׁחַת, tobto Shahat:
In Talmudic Judaism
- Archangel Michael transfers Adam to his grave in active texts
- Archangel Gavrilo, angel of death over kings
- Samael, a significant archangel in the Talmudic and post-Talmudic literature
- Abaddon, the destroying angel
- Azrael, the angel transfers it to another world with God’s help
It is said about the messenger of death that all its essence is hidden by unhealed eyes. “The Talmud introduces a metaphor: “Don’t be surprised, tell me that you are victorious in your eyes, like the Angel of Death,” about whom it is said that you are in your eyes” (Avoda Zara 20). And when the hour of death comes, the sick will come and there will be a white coal with a bare blade, on which a drop of blood hangs. Having treated him, the sick man opens his mouth in fear, at which point the angel of death bows down and throws a deadly drop that dies in his mouth. People are dying in front of her, exposing her to death, and everything is falling apart. Another version of this story seems to say that at the end of the tree there are three drops of extract. The man, having treated the terrible black angel, opens his mouth in horror, the droplets go there and the man dies. The first drop marks life, the next drop marks the end of death, the third drop seals the letter. Tsimi three drops are peeled off on the knife of the Angel of Death keruet Niatsrinel - a demon who lingers in the inferno called Beer Shahat (Grave Pit). Most often, the angel of death is in the form of a bird, a wolf or a foal. In folklore, vin is often depicted as a man with blind eyes, an old reaper, or an old man with a sword from which the peel drips.
On another thought, malach ha-mavet directly cuts the throat, which dies, except that it is invisible to others from the respect of the creation of God (ib.). The angel of death presides over natural death, and does not take part in unnatural death (div. Arach., 7a).
At the same hour, the angel of death associates with Satan. Thus, the Talmud has the following meaning: “Satan is also the Angel of Death, and he is also the filth of spontaneity.”
Samael in the form of “malach ha-mavet”, the angel of death, is a greedy black figure with a jagged knife, like to come only for sinners. The angel Gabriel comes for the righteous with a perfectly straight knife in his hands and taking away the souls of the righteous with him is equal to “kosher shechita,” just as those who rob Samael from sinners are “not kosher shechita.”
In Christianity
In Christianity, the angel of death is sometimes called the Archangel Gabriel, according to legends, conveying the news to the Virgin Mary about her death a few days before.
Similarly, with the book Apocalypse, Abaddon is associated with the angel of death:
In Islam
Angel of Death in Islam. “Proverbs” - “In the time appointed by the Lord, people suffer from illness or their body assumes its functions, which means a request to the Angel of Death to Israel.”
The Koran describes the Angels of Death alegorically:
“Say: The Angel of Death, to whom you have been entrusted, will kill you, and then you will be turned to your Lord.” (Sura Earth Uklin, verse 11)
“To those whom the angels (desired) to kill (unjustly) to themselves, say: “Which (position) have you been in?” You can’t say: “We were weak on earth.” It’s impossible to say: “The land of God was not open enough for you to move to it.” In its corner (camp) is Gehenna. What a bad place this place will come! (Surah Zhinki, verse 97)

Notes
The soul after death: Section 1. Actual aspects of daily investigations
We know from the words of Christ Himself that at the moment of death the angels are close to the soul: The foal died and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom (Luke 16:22).
Also from the Gospel we know what the Angels look like: The Angel of the Lord... his appearance is like a sparkle, and his robe is white like snow (Mt. 28: 2-3); yunak, chills in white clothes (Mark 16:5); two men in glittering tents (Luke 24:4); two angels in a white robe (IV. 20, 12). Throughout Christian history, the appearances of Angels have always been less like bright youths, more oppressed. The iconographic tradition of the appearance of Angels has been favored for centuries: only such brilliant young men were depicted (often with two wings, which, of course, are symbolic and are not visible during the appearance of Angels). The Seventh Ecumenical Council of 787 praised that the guilty angels will henceforth be depicted as men. The late cupids of the Renaissance and the new periods of advanced paganism do not suggest anything in common with the angels.
And indeed, the current Roman Catholic (and Protestant) has gone far beyond the celebration of the Holy Letter and the early Christian translation, not only in the artistic depiction of Angels, but also in the most sacred about spiritual truths. The reasonable price of this pardon is necessary for us because we want to truly understand the true Christian belief about the posthumous share of the soul.
One of the great Fathers of the recent past, Bishop Ignatius (Brianchaninov, † 1867), extended this mercy and dedicated an entire volume of collected works to the contribution of the true Orthodox faith from this diet (i.e. 3. View of Tuzov, St. Petersburg, 188). Criticizing the views of the ancient Roman Catholic theological work of the 19th century (Abbot Bergier’s “Theological Dictionary”), Bishop Ignatius introduces a significant part of the volume (pages 185-302) to combat the current thought based on philosophy of Descartes (XVII century), that the whole Kingdom matter simply belongs to the kingdom of pure spirit. This idea essentially places the infinite God on the ranks of various final spirits (angels, demons, dead souls). This idea has expanded especially widely in our time (I want to keep it up and not waste everything), and it explains a lot about the mercy of the everyday world of “spiritual” speeches: great interest is manifested in everything that is in the mother’s position in the real world, and at the same time often more no distinction should be made between the Divine, the angelic, the demonic and simply the results of extraordinary human abilities and manifestations.
Abbot Bergier understood that Angels, demons and dead souls are spiritual realities; Well, the stench does not obey the laws of time and space. We can talk about its form either rather metaphorically, and “the stinks will demand to be clothed in the thin body, if God allows them to act on the body” (ep. Ignatius, vol. 3, pp. 193-195). However, one thing is well known in all other times, the Roman Catholic robot of the 20th century repeats this from modern spiritualism, declaring, for example, that Angels and demons “can deposit the necessary (in order to become visible to people) material from the lower nature, whether it is spiritual or inanimate. "(Blackmore, Spiritism: Facts and Frauds, page 522). Spirituality and occultism themselves were inspired by the ideas of modern philosophy. One such apologist for supernatural Christianity, C. S. Lewis (English), duly criticizes modernity the phenomenon about heaven is like nothing else about the body of the mind"; but still, perhaps, often clever to the point of thinking, that "the body, its origin and ruin, and also the times for the higher spheres of spiritual life seem to be unfounded" (C.S. Lewis. Miracles. The Macmillan Company, New York, 1967, pages 164-165) Such views are the result of a supermundane simplification of spiritual reality under the influx of everyday materialism; there was a loss of contact with modern Christian beliefs and spiritual knowledge.
In order to understand the Orthodox belief about angels and other spirits, it is necessary to forget for the first time the supernaturally simple dichotomy of “matter-spirit”; The truth is complex and at the same time so simple that those who still believe in it will probably be seen everywhere as pure literalists. Bishop Ignatius writes (emphasis added): “If God opens the (spiritual) eyes of people, then there will be a great increase in spirits in His powerful appearance” (page 216); “The angels, being human, were always in the sight of people” (page 227). Similarly, from “... The writing makes it abundantly clear that the soul of a person has the appearance of a person in its body and is similar to other creatures of spirits” (p. 233). He quotes numerous patristic sayings to convey the point. Now let’s take a look at the Holy Fathers’ ceremony.
St. Basil the Great, in his book about the Holy Spirit, affirms that “the heavenly Powers have the essence of their smells, as one might say, spirit and non-speech fire... why the smells are surrounded by the place and are invisible, being the holy image of their powerful bodies.” He further writes: “Apparently, the skin (from the heavenly Forces) is in the singing place. For the Angel who presented Cornelia, without being at the altar of incense (Luke 1, 11), did not take an hour from the same one. the powerful one has a place in heaven” (“The Work of St. Basil the Great”, view by Soykin, St. Petersburg, 1911, ch. 16, 23: vol. 1, page 608, 622).
In a similar manner to St. Gregory the Theologian read: “The Second Light after the Triple Light, which shines the royal glory, is the light of the invisible Angels. The stench easily wraps itself around the Throne, because the stench is a quick-rotten mind, fire and divine spirits that quickly move in the air” (Discourse 6 “About reasonable essences” in: “The Work of St. Gregory the Theologian”, view. Jays on, S.-Pb ., T. 2, page 29.).
In this way, being spirits and half-flaming fire (Ps. 103:4; Hebrews 1:7), Angels are present in this world, where the earthly laws of time and space do not operate in such material (as it can be said) ways. That’s why the people from the Fathers needlessly talk about the “disturbed bodies” of the Angels. Vikl. John of Damascus, who commemorated the 8th century’s predecessors with the Fathers, also said:
“An angel is an essence, endowed with reason, which collapses in the future, which is driven by free will, incorporeal, which serves God, which by grace has taken away for its nature immortality, of which essence the form and meaning is known only to the Creator. It is called incorporeal, and also intangible, it is agreed with us, because everything that can be equated with God, Who alone is immaterial, appears both rude and verbal, because only the Divine is truly immaterial alne and bodiless.” And they said: “The stench is peeing; because if there is a stink in the sky, there is no one on earth; And those who are sent by God to earth will not lose their stench in heaven; But the stinks are not separated by walls and doors, and door bolts, and seals, because the stinks are not separated. I call it indispensable to those who stink for the people whom God desires, so that the stink is not the same as the stink is, but in a changed appearance, marveling at how those who are marveling can see” (“Accurate Report of the Orthodox Faith, ”book 2, chapter 3, page 45-47).
They say that Angels are “not the same as they stink,” Rev. John of Damascus, of course, did not super-preach to St. Vasilevo, who believes that Angels appear “in the image of their bodies.” The offense is clear, as can be gleaned from the numerous descriptions of the appearances of Angels in the Old Testament. Thus, Archangel Raphael was Tovia’s companion for many years and never suspected that he was not human. However, if the Archangel finally opened up and said: “All my days I will be with you; But I didn’t eat or drink - only your eyes showed this (Tob. 12, 19). The three Angels who appeared to Abraham also appeared to be people, and people thought about them (But. 18 and 19). In a similar manner to St. Kirilo Irusalimsky, in his “Catechetical Words,” tells us about the Angel who appeared to Danilov, and that “Danilo, having convinced Gabriel, shuddered and fell into his own accusations, even though he would become a prophet, but not in the hope of becoming a prophet.” Wow, until the Angel transforms into the likeness of a human son . ” (“Catechetical words”, XI, 1). However, in the book of Daniel (10, 6) we read that at his first blind appearance the Angel is in human likeness, and only so bright (exposing him - as a kind of flash; his eyes - like lamps that burn , arms and legs it looks like bright copper), which is unbearable for human eyes. Well, the externality of the Angel is the same as in humans, except that the fragments of the angelic body are intangible and the very pot of this fiery, smoldering manifestation can be crushed by any human who is still in the body, the manifestation of the Angels for the needs of duties. not be attached to people who to marvel at them, seeming less intense and inspiring fear, is not true.”
As for the human soul, then Blessed Augustine understands that, if the soul is strengthened by the body, the human being itself, with which everything appears, wants only in the spirit, and not in the body, to make itself so similar to the body that it burst into flames i “We can’t increase the amount of religious goods” (“About the City of God”, book XXI, 10). This truth has now been overwhelmingly confirmed by the special testimony of thousands of people who have turned to life in our hour.
Although we are talking about the bodies of Angels and other spirits, we must be careful not to attribute to them any gross material characteristics. Zrestoyu, as the Rev. read. John of Damascus, whose “essential form and meaning is known only to the Creator” (Accurate Report of the Orthodox Faith, book 2, chapter 3, page 45). At the Sunset, St. Augustine wrote that there is no difference if we respectfully speak more briefly “about the infusion of the body” of demons and other spirits or call them “incorporeal” (“About the City of God,” XXI, 10).
Bishop Ignatius himself may have made a lot of comments about the explanation of angelic bodies in the scientific knowledge of the 19th century about gases. For these reasons, a song was written between him and Bishop Theophan the Recluse, who emphasized the need to emphasize the simple nature of spirits (which, of course, are not composed of elementary molecules, like all gases). Apart from the main nutrition - about the “fine shell” that all perfumes carry, wine is made with Bishop Ignatius (div.: Archpriest Georgy Florovsky. Paths of the Russian theologian. Paris, 1937, page 394-395). It seems that this kind of absurdity from unimportant nutrition and through terminology led in the 5th century at the beginning of the controversy over the veneration of the Latin Father, St. Favst Lyrinsky about the eternal materiality of the soul, based on the centuries-old Fathers.
Just as the exact nature of the angelic nature is known to God alone, the intelligence of the activity of Angels (accepted in this world) is accessible to everyone, because it is as clear as in the Scriptures and patristic literature. , so it is in the lives of the saints. In order to understand the phenomena that happen to the dying, we, in hiding, must know how the angels (bess) have sunk. The True Angels will always have a powerful appearance (less blind, less true) and act only in order to defeat the will and punishment of God. The angels have sunk, wanting some of them with their powerful appearance (including Seraphim of Sarovsky, with his powerful knowledge, describes him as “vile”), or else take on a different image and perform many “miracles” with their power, which will remove the stench from subordinated to the prince, who panics in the world (Eph. 2:2). Their constant place of perseverance is the wind, and the worst thing is to eat and slander people and thus bury them in their place until death. Against them is the struggle of the Christian: our struggle is not against blood and flesh, but against principalities, against powers, against the world rulers of this dark age, against the spirits of wickedness in high places (Eph. 6:12).
St. Augustine, in his little-known treatise “The Significance of Demons,” written in order to explain the actions of numerous manifestations of demons in the ancient pagan world, gives a garne secret statement about the control of demons:
“The nature of the demons is such that, through the powerful smell of the body, the smell of the stench greatly reverses the effects that the bodies of the earth suffer, as well as for the fluidity, which is due to the short fragility of the dried body, without the stench It is necessary to reverse not only the flight of people and creatures, but also the flight and flight of birds . . These two are endowed with greatness in this world, such a stench is from the authorities of the windy body, and the stench itself, with the severity and fluidity of the hand, prophesies and tells about a lot of speeches, which they learned about a lot earlier. she. And people marvel at this through the abundance of earthly splendor. Demons, over the course of their long lives, have accumulated much more evidence in various ways, which is what people get in a short period of their lives. For the help of these authorities, like the inherent nature of the infused body, you can not only prophesy a lot of hope, but also create a lot of wonderful actions” (chapter 3).
There are a lot of “miracles” and types of magical descriptions in the vast conversation of St. Anthony the Great, included before St. The fear of this life is also similar to that of “lights of the body of the demons” (chapter 11). Life of St. Cyprian, a great chaklun, also contains numerical descriptions of magical transformations and miracles, reported by their active participant.
A classic description of biological activity can be found in the seventh and eighth “Special Conversations” of St. John Cassian, the great Gallic father of the 5th century, who was the first to convey to the Sunset the celebration of the descendant monks. St. Cassian writes: “And evil spirits are so silent throughout the wind, as they flow between heaven and earth and in such a stench they fly around the dead and not empty; so that God Providence came to the mercy and removed them from the sight of people; Otherwise, out of fear of their attack, and fear of their faces, in which the stench of their own will, if they want, is recreated or recreated, people would fight with an unbearable fear until they fell ill...
And that unclean spirits are possessed by evil power and are ordered by it, which, besides these meetings, the Holy Letters, which are read in the Gospel, in the description of the Lord’s testimony to the Pharisees, who slandered Him: O I Beelzebub, Prince of Besiv, I destroy Besiv... (Matt. 12, 27) ), – we begin with the same clear vision and rich testimony of the saints. “If one of our brothers was manipulating at this deserted place, after the end of the evening, he knew the oven, stood there and wanted to say evening prayer in it. While we are singing psalms, an hour has passed already for the evening. After completing the prayer rule, in a few minutes the weary body could be calmed down, the unhealed floods of demons that everyone was gathering, as the unbroken low and had already passed nearby, began to lie down and rapt. Some told their boss, others followed him. The prince will come, who will be greater in size than everyone else and more terrible in appearance; And after accession to the throne, if you sat at the submitted tribunal (the Judiciary court), then with greater investigations they began to examine the actions of the skin, and those, as they said, had not yet been able to get rid of their rivals, punishing to deceive oneself from respect and likes as ineffective and the slow-hearted ones, with a fierce retort, who swear that they have wasted so much time and money in vain. And those who voiced that they called their names, releasing with great praise when buried and praised all, like the best warriors, as a symbol for everyone who became famous. Behind them, one fierce spirit came, and angrily reported about the famous victory, that the well-known Chen, whom he named, after thirteen fates, with drawls of which he ceaselessly calmed down, decided, hemmed - the same night he received roses let me go. With this information, there was an immediate joy between us and the prince of greatness with high praises and crowning with great glory, pishov. When the dawn came... all the facelessness of the demons disappeared from their eyes.” A later brother, a great witness of this kind, learned that the information about the lost young man is true” (“Spivbesidi”, VIII, 12, 16, Russian, Prov. Bishop Peter. Moscow, 1892, page 313, 31 5).
It was the same with many Orthodox Christians until the end of the century. This, obviously, is not something you can see, but the moths in the camp cannot sleep with the demons, as there is a stench, - but only, it is clear, after the spiritual eyes of a person are opened in order to recognize the essences that people call who cares invisible. Until recently, perhaps, few “old-fashioned” or “simple-minded” Orthodox Christians could still believe the literal truth of such accounts; Nowadays, it is important for active Orthodox Christians to believe them, such a pervasive was the current belief in those that angels and bes are “pure spirits” and do not act in such “material” ways. Only through the great growth of biological activity in the rest of the world, the evidence begins to appear again and is considered plausible. Widespread knowledge about “posthumous” traces has also opened up the area of immaterial reality with richness for ordinary people, as there is no connection with the occult. A clearer and more truthful explanation of this kingdom and its essence has become one of the needs of our hour. Such an explanation can only be given by Orthodoxy, as it preserved the integrity of our Christian faith.
Now we marvel at the report, how Angels and souls appear at the moment of death.
Vocabulary “Pravmiru” – Angeli
The Angel of Death in Islam, Christianity, Judaism is a controversial figure. However, in various religions, this supernatural essence is portrayed in different ways, especially when we respect the Abrahamic faith, and the religions and cultures of other peoples of the world.
Angel of Death in Islam - Azrael
In Islam, the angel of death is given special respect - Muslims give his figure great significance. There is a marked importance in the Christian and Jewish traditions, where such a messenger from heaven is considered to be another important character. The angel of death Azrael is one of the four angels who have the status of muqarrabun - the closest living beings to Allah. They do not care about those who, in the Koran, Azrael is not named after the name of whose founding angel all current followers of Islam speak. For everything, his name was deposited from the Israeli jereli. The Koran does not give a specific name to this essence and calls it nothing other than Malyak-al-Maut. You can read about how to call the angel of death, as well as about the protection of the new one, in another article on our website.
The fragments of Azrael are included in the four angels closest to Allah - the muqarrabun, the warrior and the prophet among other angels, including the angels of death, along with Jabrail, Israfael and Mikael. He is subordinated to a majestic host of faithful servants. These are angels from the Nashet family, the recognition of which lies in the passage of righteous Muslims into the other world. He also punishes the angels of the Naziat family, who take the souls of sinners and infidels from the Earth. Azrael himself, before us, is the master of his servants, and not to come for people who are dying especially.
The most important fact is that Azrael is often thought to have a look similar to cherubic angels - one also has wings. Zgіtnoye the tribute to the trial, in front of him to wipe off the rib іsrafaall, the vd him to die the Mayzha creative Allah, and the other with the sound of the horns is to perceive il vani, azrail Stana Naiocanish Another important fact is the similarity between the spring of the apocalypse - Israfael, the angel of death Samael and the Jewish tradition. Muslims also believe that this angel has faceless eyes, and to this image also comes the number of mouths and wool.
An additional significant factor that points to Azrael as the angel of death or at least one of them is the fact that among the ancient Chuvian peoples the deity associated with death is called Esrel. At this point, the Chuvash religion can be called a faceless story about those, how this angel was fooled, which does not at all agree with the faith in the inevitability of the arrival of the harbingers of death in other cultures. Also in the holy book of the Sikhs - Guru Granth Sahib, the name of Azraa-Iil is known as the angel of death.
Angels of Death in Judaism
In Judaism, the angels of death occupy a special place, in which the dimness of their role is often seriously undermined. So, for the first time, stench acts as messengers of God and destroyers, who are guilty of instilling his plan for the punishment of peoples who threatened cruelty and sin. The dark names of these angels are mala ha-mavet, they also had powerful names. At the hour of the end of the Egyptian strata, the angel of death, who took all the firsts, was Shakhat. Moreover, one can guess from the Old Testament retellings that other names are Ddaver and Mashekhit. There is a similarity between these names and the profession of shokheta, which also may be a singing sensation.
Moreover, in the Talmud it is immediately clear that the angels of death were also without other well-known Old Testament articles. Zokrema, at every moment this role was played by the archangel Michael, who carried Adam, who was dying, to his grave. Archangel Gabriel is the angel of death for the righteous and kings, and Samael is for sinners. One can guess here the name of the demon Abaddon, as well as Azrael - it is important that in Islam this angel of death comes directly from the Jewish tradition.
Shakhat angel of death
The appearance of angels in the image of mala ha-mavet is described as follows: the reality behind the blindness of their eyes. In other variations and shadows, the messengers of heaven are depicted as an old man with a sword, a tramp, or a reaper. In Judaism itself, the traditional image of death from the Lord's scythe was first introduced. One belief is that an angel cuts the throat of a skinned person with a knife as she dies. At the same time, Gavril’s lower for the righteous is ideally sharp, while Samael’s lower for sinners is a perfect sermon. In this manner, a parallel is drawn with kosher and non-kosher shechita - the process of slaughtering animals in order for them to be added to the hedgehog.
However, simultaneously with the divine essence, the Talmud often distinguishes the angels of death with evil and Satan. It’s not surprising, the fragments of Samael, do not care for those who have been God’s servant for a very long time, having later become God’s antagonist.
Angels of Death in Christianity
In Christianity, the angels of death, in contrast to Judaism and Islam, figure little. However, the Christian accepted version of the Old Testament has no idea about the special meaning of such essences. It is important that after living, a person’s soul itself will become more valuable. This means that there is no need for any kind of guide or the essence that specially cuts off life.
Prote Christian dogmas recognize the importance of angels being taken into human life for necessities. Zokrem, which argues for the massive destruction of all the first prizes during the hours of the Egyptian strata, and the depletion of Sodom and Gomorrah. All these forces, now with the Christian faith, may be some of the angels, as if they were working for the commandments of the Lord - and all the angelic ranks are worthless.
In this case, figuratively, the burning angels are called destroying angels, for example, the demon Abaddon. Also in the Christian faith, Archangel Gabriel is called the messenger of death, who delivered the news about the death of the Virgin Mary.
Angel of Death and similar facts in other religions
Long ago, people gave death some image that was reflected in their beliefs. Or, by the way, the visibility of the singing essences, which would ensure the exit of people to another world, led to the formation of such an image among various peoples. So it’s different, but practically all religions have messengers from death to the world, starting to be practical in recent times.
Nergal and Ereshkigal
One of the first similar origins is Nergal and Ereshkigal in ancient Vylonian myths, which clearly have little to do with the older Sumerian root. Among the ancient Egyptians, the afterlife was controlled by the gods - Osiris and Anubis. Osiris became the absolute bearer of the light of the dead, and Anubis assumed most of the functions of the angel of death. In ancient Greece, the analogue of the angel of death was Thanatos, as well as the old Charon, who ferries souls across the river of the dead. The Aztecs worshiped Miktlantecuhtli - the god of Death, who had a whole host of servants - demons of tsitsimima, who came for people who were dying. In the Scandinavian religions, the souls of warriors who died on the battlefield were taken by angelic girls - Valkyries. At the same time, Slovenian legends did not preserve the usual “service” spirits. Buddhism and Hinduism are respected because the deity and spirit Yama represent death.
And in Mexico there is now a special religion - Santa Muerte, which is completely dedicated to the essence of Death. Her Aztec and Mayan traditions were intertwined with Christianity, after which Death in the person of the skeleton began to be worshiped and associated with the Virgin Mary.
In general, the great spread of the various angels of death in many light religions allows one to contact the high level of reality of the reality of such entities, especially the health of many similar entities. characteristics. The names of the angels of death are known, and it is possible to reach them. Most often it is to protect from evil and ensure justice. And even the view of that world is often respectful of these isolations - not dividing people rich and poor.
Names of the angels of death in Islam, Christianity, Judaism and other religions
We have all heard the word angel more than once. And not less than a bit, but they lived it out at their promo. What do we know about angels? Who is it and why is the first association that arises from the knowledge of this word - divine power and what is spiritual? What do the stinks look like and what is their mission? Everything is explained in this article.
Who is Yangol?
An angel is God’s messenger, His servant. The Holy Letter itself describes the concept this way. This is actually a literal translation, which in Greek (“angelos”) is translated as “messenger, messenger.”
The whole world, every religion knows about those who are such angels. According to the Scriptures, angels were created long before the creation of the whole world, and their purpose was the servant of God. What type of servant? They glorify God, convey the sight of Him to people, kidnap people and bury their hands in death. Who among them will carry the song of the mission?
There are also those angels who decided to listen to the will of God for unknown reasons. The stinks of punishment are thrown into the inferno and are called ignited. The burning angel reaches out to the people-hating and evil world entities that rebelled against God and people.
What does an angel look like?
The faceless clergy base their thoughts on the essence of an angel. The greatest stench is that the angel is light, semi-mystic, penetrating and sublime. It is also attributed to the practice of goodness and service to God, which is entirely complete, discipline and infallibility, gentleness and humility. Such angelic bones come from the purposes for which they serve.
There is no physical body in an angel, and there is no endowment of immortality. Essence is rational, which includes intellect and meaningful freedom. Angels, no wonder, do not change forever and forever. Whatever wines are created from the beginning, such a look will lose their wine.
This angel doesn’t care about freedom, but he doesn’t care about the boundaries of space. So in many places it’s impossible to live at the same time, but you can’t change your shoes with great speed.
Who this angel is can only be determined from the words of clergymen and eyewitnesses who managed to witness his attack. It is impossible to confirm or state facts.
It is clear that all these rices can be attributed to angels only mentally, since no one knows exactly what the stinks look like. There is a completely different level of understanding and awareness that people are not given.
We see angels as beings who look like people with white wings behind their backs. The krill in this form is a symbol of the spirituality of the will of God.
Often angels are depicted in armor and cassocks, with staffs, lists and haberdashers in their hands as part of the Heavenly Host.
Angelic rites
There is a singing system of angelic ranks, a special hierarchy, universally accepted by everyone. Thus, the entire angelic army is divided into three great groups, or triads.
The first triad includes the Cherubim (the name means “great knowledge and wisdom”), the Seraphim (“the half-witted ones”) and the Thrones (“those who have learned from the earthly and how to overthrow God”). These are the greatest acts, which are the purest and most inviolable in their allegiance to God.
Another triad includes Panuvanna, the Powers and Vlada. These angels are gradually enlightened by God's wisdom, and they do not listen to it, but simply watch. The priests are engaged in the task of instructing earthly kings and Volodars to become wise rulers. Angels of the Order of Powers send grace to God’s saints and work miracles on earth. And the axis of Vlad’s forces is a collection of devilish plans, Vlad’s angels lead us into desperation; Likewise, church angels are guided by natural elements.
Well, the third triad consists of Pochatkov, Archangels and Angels. This group is closest to people. It is God's will to communicate to us, helping us to fully understand ourselves. The cobs are protected by the laws of nature, the All-World, and protected by nations and peoples. Archangels are the guides of God's revelations, and they bring good news about the hidden places of God. Angels are for skinny people. They are assigned to protect and instruct us in spiritual life.
Who are the angels who have fallen asleep?
In truth, this reality was also bright and pure, created by God. Once having seen God, this angel was expelled from the Heavenly Kingdom for his crimes, through which he became dark and vengeful, and was now called the “fallen angel”.
In Orthodoxy, the burning angels are also called singing angels. The most prominent representatives are respected by demons who serve Satan and the devil.
First, Satan appears in the hours of Adam and Eve in the guise of a wicked serpent, who begs Eve to hide the fruits of the Tree of Knowledge and not obey the will of God, for which they were then punished and expelled from Paradise .
The sun-burnt angel is a cunning asshole, whose mission is to deplete a person’s inner peace, to believe in God and to be honest, and to indulge in sinful acts that drive a person away from God.
The Devil (Lucifer) was the supreme angel, among those closest to God. But it became so that he became self-regarding and equated himself with the Father, for whom he was cast off at the Inferno. Vіn i became the first of the ignited.
Guardian angels: who stinks?
Literature, cinematography, music and everything that is dear to people often evokes the idea that each of us has a special patron. What kind of patron is there to help so many people get insurance? This is an angel.
According to the Holy Letter, such an angel is given by God to every person upon birth and baptism. The power and ability of this angel lies in the spirituality of people, the positivity of their thoughts and the good things that will work.
Christian traditions talk about those that human skin has two sides - good and evil. Behind his right shoulder stands a good guardian angel who guides him on the right path, and behind his left shoulder is an evil evil spirit who wants to turn a person into evil. These two angels accompany the people with a long life. After the stench, it leads to the death of Paradise (heavenly angel) or Hell (sunburnt angel), wondering what kind of way life has turned people into - good or more evil.
We ourselves cross right-handed to the left, hand-shaking, timid with the right hand, and the right hand is applied to the heart. It is possible to make many more such examples, but the essence is lost: the right side is even symbolic in Christianity.
What are the true guardian angels?
When it becomes clear who the patron angel is, food is written about those whose truth is truer than their dreams. How effectively can our spiritual guardian entrust us with the continuation of this life? Can anyone confirm the fact of the birth of such an entity as a guardian angel?
Obviously, there is no scientific confirmation of the origin of angels, as well as the cold. Too many people turn to angels and God at the most important moments in life, regardless of the strength of evidence.
There are many different situations in which people experience wonder. You can chalk it up to a lucky break and say that the people were born in a shirt. So let the skeptics die. And you can earn a reward that people have seen for their superior minds, which means that she is good, and before her there is a strong guardian angel who protects her.
Angel of Death
First of all, we don’t talk about this angel, but it is important to note that the Bible does not say anything about the birth of a hidden angel, who testifies for the presence of a person who is dying.
Regardless of this, in other religions there are mysteries about this truth. For example, in Judaism the angel of death is known as Sariel, Azrael or Samael, in Islam as Malak Al-Mawt, in Hinduism as Yamaraja or Yama.
In different religions and mythologies this angel is represented in different ways - a skeleton with a scythe in a black robe, a young woman or an old woman, or a child. Unimportant to the outside eye, his mission is one: presence at the moment of a person’s death and observation of this process, or directly to his fate.
In Christianity, such duties could be placed on any angel, including by God’s will, except that the angel of death does not arise. Often these angels are called smoldering angels, but that’s not true.
What do my angels say?
Today it is customary to remember that Enochian is the mother of angels. The reliability of this fact is also impossible to confirm. This was created by occultists J. Di and E. Kelly, it was classified. As the authors of this theory themselves affirmed, Kelly rejected the knowledge of angels during the hour of meditation.
How about the Enochian language does not sleep. The alphabet, as well as the keys to the new one, are encrypted.
How to pray to angels correctly?
You can reach an angel for additional help. There are special prayers, sent to a special protective angel and called upon him until his intercession and salvation.
It is important to be clean and have a pure soul. In fact, it’s not so important what you say and how you pray to the angel. He knows about your messages, and if you ask for help from good authorities, he will definitely help.
The Angel of Death in Islam, Christianity, Judaism is a controversial figure. However, in various religions, this supernatural essence is portrayed in different ways, especially when we respect the Abrahamic faith, and the religions and cultures of other peoples of the world.

Osiris became the absolute bearer of the light of the dead, and Anubis assumed most of the functions of the angel of death. In ancient Greece, the analogue of the angel of death was Thanatos, as well as the old Charon, who ferries souls across the river of the dead. The Aztecs worshiped Miktlantecuhtli - the god of Death, who had a whole host of servants - demons of tsitsimima, who came for people who were dying. In the Scandinavian religions, the souls of warriors who died on the battlefield were taken by angelic girls - Valkyries. At the same time, Slovenian legends did not preserve the usual “service” spirits. Buddhism and Hinduism are respected because the deity and spirit Yama represent death.

In religion
In Biblical Judaism
In Judaism, the angel of death is the representative of God, whom God sends to take life and soul. The angel of death passed through the everyday life, on which lay the blood of the lamb, and spared the firstborn. To others, death was “brought”, as a result of which their life was added. In Egypt, in one night, death reduced all the leaders from thinness to humanity (Exodus 12:29-32).
By analyzing the text of the book Exodus 12:23,29, you can learn how to prevent the Lord from destroying the leaders, or punishing the destroyer of Hebrews. שָׁחַת, Shahat take a hit. Shakhat is the name of one of the angels of death, as stated first in the Bible.
The book Exodus 12:12-13 has another name for the angel of death - Hebrew. מַשְׁחִית, Mashekhit.
The third name of the angel of death appears in another part of Shmuel 24:15-17:
Daver Hebrew דָּ֫בֶר Virazka, pestilence, plague or else sting. At the first part of the Chronicle 21:15 there is a record, what to say, what is the angel of guilt, Hebrew. שָׁחַת, tobto Shahat:
In Talmudic Judaism
- Archangel Michael transfers Adam to his grave in active texts
- Archangel Gavrilo, angel of death over kings
- Samael, a significant archangel in the Talmudic and post-Talmudic literature
- Abaddon, the destroying angel
- Azrael, the angel transfers it to another world with God’s help
It is said about the messenger of death that all its essence is hidden by unhealed eyes. “The Talmud introduces a metaphor: “Don’t be surprised, tell me that you are victorious in your eyes, like the Angel of Death,” about whom it is said that you are in your eyes” (Avoda Zara 20). And when the hour of death comes, the sick will come and there will be a white coal with a bare blade, on which a drop of blood hangs. Having treated him, the sick man opens his mouth in fear, at which point the angel of death bows down and throws a deadly drop that dies in his mouth. People are dying in front of her, exposing her to death, and everything is falling apart. Another version of this story seems to say that at the end of the tree there are three drops of extract. The man, having treated the terrible black angel, opens his mouth in horror, the droplets go there and the man dies. The first drop marks life, the next drop marks the end of death, the third drop seals the letter. Tsimi three drops are peeled off on the knife of the Angel of Death keruet Niatsrinel - a demon who lingers in the inferno called Beer Shahat (Grave Pit). Most often, the angel of death is in the form of a bird, a wolf or a foal. In folklore, vin is often depicted as a man with blind eyes, an old reaper, or an old man with a sword from which the peel drips.
On another thought, malach ha-mavet directly cuts the throat, which dies, except that it is invisible to others from the respect of the creation of God (ib.). The angel of death presides over natural death, and does not take part in unnatural death (div. Arach., 7a).
At the same hour, the angel of death associates with Satan. Thus, the Talmud has the following meaning: “Satan is also the Angel of Death, and he is also the filth of spontaneity.”
Samael in the form of “malach ha-mavet”, the angel of death, is a greedy black figure with a jagged knife, like to come only for sinners. The angel Gabriel comes for the righteous with a perfectly straight knife in his hands and taking away the souls of the righteous with him is equal to “kosher shechita,” just as those who rob Samael from sinners are “not kosher shechita.”
In Christianity
In Christianity, the angel of death is sometimes called the Archangel Gabriel, according to legends, conveying the news to the Virgin Mary about her death a few days before.
Similarly, with the book Apocalypse, Abaddon is associated with the angel of death:
In Islam
Angel of Death in Islam. “Proverbs” - “In the time appointed by the Lord, people suffer from illness or their body assumes its functions, which means a request to the Angel of Death to Israel.”
The Koran describes the Angels of Death alegorically:
“Say: The Angel of Death, to whom you have been entrusted, will kill you, and then you will be turned to your Lord.” (Sura Earth Uklin, verse 11)
“To those whom the angels (desired) to kill (unjustly) to themselves, say: “Which (position) have you been in?” You can’t say: “We were weak on earth.” It’s impossible to say: “The land of God was not open enough for you to move to it.” In its corner (camp) is Gehenna. What a bad place this place will come! (Surah Zhinki, verse 97)

In Judaism, God Wills
death is behind the soul of a person, what is the hour of death. At the same time, the angel of death may associate with Satan. There is an ominous legend in which the angel of death Samael (aka Satan) comes to take away human life, holding a knife in his hands, from which flows 3 drops of anointing. The first drop interrupts life, the other interrupts bitter death, and the third completes the terrible rose from the right. As Satan follows, Samael is also responsible for the souls of sinners. Vine is an ominous black figure that trims the jagged bottom. The angel Gabriel comes for righteous souls. You can also bring it with you, but it’s perfectly smooth.
In the Christian tradition, the angel of death is sometimes considered to be the Archangel Gabriel, who informed the Virgin Mary about the imminent arrival of death. Also, the angels of death are often called the Burnt Angels, who, having fallen into the Inferno and transformed into demons, try to kill more people. U
And the role of the angel of death is played by Azrael, who guides souls on their way to the next world.
The image of the angel of death often appears in Kazakh tales and legends of various peoples. In this case, he is not a merciless caretaker of people’s lives, but rather impartially pays his dues. There are a lot of stories about how people try to fool the angel of death, but practically no one knows. You can ask him about the line. If you don’t respect your witch’s position, the angel of death will come to the people with doubts and may not let her in to complete unfinished matters, otherwise he will try to help her.
Often the angel of death can be seen in the works of mysticism, and first of all - in literature and cinema. The absolutely unique image of the angel of death, which is worn by Ertebez, was created by his dog, and then in the film “Orpheus” by the brilliant French singer, playwright and director Jean Cocteau. Yogo Ertebiz is a handsome young man, a great student, who got his hands on himself through an unlucky job and turned into a driver and assistant to a beautiful and mysterious lady named Death.
At the same time, Ertebis does not in any way relieve people’s feelings: he will broadly and selflessly delve into Eurides and try to save his life and family happiness with Orpheus. It is not for nothing that the descendants respect that Ertebiz is a kind of double of Orpheus and, perhaps, a part of Cocteau’s soul. Such is the evolution of the image of the mighty and mysterious angel of death.
Who is the angel of death
The Angel of Death in Islam, Christianity, Judaism is a controversial figure. However, in various religions, this supernatural essence is portrayed in different ways, especially when we respect the Abrahamic faith, and the religions and cultures of other peoples of the world.
Angel of Death in Islam - Azrael
In Islam, the angel of death is given special respect - Muslims give his figure great significance. There is a marked importance in the Christian and Jewish traditions, where such a messenger from heaven is considered to be another important character. The angel of death Azrael is one of the four angels who have the status of muqarrabun - the closest living beings to Allah. They do not care about those who, in the Koran, Azrael is not named after the name of whose founding angel all current followers of Islam speak. For everything, his name was deposited from the Israeli jereli. The Koran does not give a specific name to this essence and calls it nothing other than Malyak-al-Maut. You can read about how to call the angel of death, as well as about the protection of the new one, in another article on our website.
The fragments of Azrael are included in the four angels closest to Allah - the muqarrabun, the warrior and the prophet among other angels, including the angels of death, along with Jabrail, Israfael and Mikael. He is subordinated to a majestic host of faithful servants. These are angels from the Nashet family, the recognition of which lies in the passage of righteous Muslims into the other world. He also punishes the angels of the Naziat family, who take the souls of sinners and infidels from the Earth. Azrael himself, before us, is the master of his servants, and not to come for people who are dying especially.
The most important fact is that Azrael is often thought to have a look similar to cherubic angels - one also has wings. Zgіtnoye the tribute to the trial, in front of him to wipe off the rib іsrafaall, the vd him to die the Mayzha creative Allah, and the other with the sound of the horns is to perceive il vani, azrail Stana Naiocanish Another important fact is the similarity between the spring of the apocalypse - Israfael, the angel of death Samael and the Jewish tradition. Muslims also believe that this angel has faceless eyes, and to this image also comes the number of mouths and wool.
An additional significant factor that points to Azrael as the angel of death or at least one of them is the fact that among the ancient Chuvian peoples the deity associated with death is called Esrel. At this point, the Chuvash religion can be called a faceless story about those, how this angel was fooled, which does not at all agree with the faith in the inevitability of the arrival of the harbingers of death in other cultures. Also in the holy book of the Sikhs - Guru Granth Sahib, the name of Azraa-Iil is known as the angel of death.
Angels of Death in Judaism
In Judaism, the angels of death occupy a special place, in which the dimness of their role is often seriously undermined. So, for the first time, stench acts as messengers of God and destroyers, who are guilty of instilling his plan for the punishment of peoples who threatened cruelty and sin. The dark names of these angels are mala ha-mavet, they also had powerful names. At the hour of the end of the Egyptian strata, the angel of death, who took all the firsts, was Shakhat. Moreover, one can guess from the Old Testament retellings that other names are Ddaver and Mashekhit. There is a similarity between these names and the profession of shokheta, which also may be a singing sensation.
Moreover, in the Talmud it is immediately clear that the angels of death were also without other well-known Old Testament articles. Zokrema, at every moment this role was played by the archangel Michael, who carried Adam, who was dying, to his grave. Archangel Gabriel is the angel of death for the righteous and kings, and Samael is for sinners. One can guess here the name of the demon Abaddon, as well as Azrael - it is important that in Islam this angel of death comes directly from the Jewish tradition.
Shakhat angel of death
The appearance of angels in the image of mala ha-mavet is described as follows: the reality behind the blindness of their eyes. In other variations and shadows, the messengers of heaven are depicted as an old man with a sword, a tramp, or a reaper. In Judaism itself, the traditional image of death from the Lord's scythe was first introduced. One belief is that an angel cuts the throat of a skinned person with a knife as she dies. At the same time, Gavril’s lower for the righteous is ideally sharp, while Samael’s lower for sinners is a perfect sermon. In this manner, a parallel is drawn with kosher and non-kosher shechita - the process of slaughtering animals in order for them to be added to the hedgehog.
However, simultaneously with the divine essence, the Talmud often distinguishes the angels of death with evil and Satan. It’s not surprising, the fragments of Samael, do not care for those who have been God’s servant for a very long time, having later become God’s antagonist.
Angels of Death in Christianity
In Christianity, the angels of death, in contrast to Judaism and Islam, figure little. However, the Christian accepted version of the Old Testament has no idea about the special meaning of such essences. It is important that after living, a person’s soul itself will become more valuable. This means that there is no need for any kind of guide or the essence that specially cuts off life.
Prote Christian dogmas recognize the importance of angels being taken into human life for necessities. Zokrem, which argues for the massive destruction of all the first prizes during the hours of the Egyptian strata, and the depletion of Sodom and Gomorrah. All these forces, now with the Christian faith, may be some of the angels, as if they were working for the commandments of the Lord - and all the angelic ranks are worthless.
In this case, figuratively, the burning angels are called destroying angels, for example, the demon Abaddon. Also in the Christian faith, Archangel Gabriel is called the messenger of death, who delivered the news about the death of the Virgin Mary.
Angel of Death and similar facts in other religions
Long ago, people gave death some image that was reflected in their beliefs. Or, by the way, the visibility of the singing essences, which would ensure the exit of people to another world, led to the formation of such an image among various peoples. So it’s different, but practically all religions have messengers from death to the world, starting to be practical in recent times.
Nergal and Ereshkigal
One of the first similar origins is Nergal and Ereshkigal in ancient Vylonian myths, which clearly have little to do with the older Sumerian root. Among the ancient Egyptians, the afterlife was controlled by the gods - Osiris and Anubis. Osiris became the absolute bearer of the light of the dead, and Anubis assumed most of the functions of the angel of death. In ancient Greece, the analogue of the angel of death was Thanatos, as well as the old Charon, who ferries souls across the river of the dead. The Aztecs worshiped Miktlantecuhtli - the god of Death, who had a whole host of servants - demons of tsitsimima, who came for people who were dying. In the Scandinavian religions, the souls of warriors who died on the battlefield were taken by angelic girls - Valkyries. At the same time, Slovenian legends did not preserve the usual “service” spirits. Buddhism and Hinduism are respected because the deity and spirit Yama represent death.
And in Mexico there is now a special religion - Santa Muerte, which is completely dedicated to the essence of Death. Her Aztec and Mayan traditions were intertwined with Christianity, after which Death in the person of the skeleton began to be worshiped and associated with the Virgin Mary.
In general, the great spread of the various angels of death in many light religions allows one to contact the high level of reality of the reality of such entities, especially the health of many similar entities. characteristics. The names of the angels of death are known, and it is possible to reach them. Most often it is to protect from evil and ensure justice. And even the view of that world is often respectful of these isolations - not dividing people rich and poor.
Names of the angels of death in Islam, Christianity, Judaism and other religions
Angel Death has many names. In Christianity I call it Gabriel even after telling the Virgin Mary about her Swedish death. In Islam the Angel of Death wears the name Azraila (Gazir), this purpose is to help people at the hour of transition to another world. Likewise, Azrael often makes poetic references to death (Lermontov, Tsvetaeva, Byron).
At the same time, the Angel of Death is most often associated with Satan. So the Talmud, a richly complex collection of legal and religious-ethical provisions of Judaism, says the following: “Satan is also the Angel of Death, and he is also the abomination of spontaneity.”
Almost all religions have some kind of “guide” to that other world. In legends and myths, Death appears before us in the image of an old maiden, wrapped in a black robe with a scythe in her hand. An analogue of the scythe appears in Judaism: if the Angel of Death ( Samael/Satan) to come for a person, then in the hand you trim the bottom, at the end of which there are three drops of peel off. The people, having treated the terrible black angel, open their mouths with panting, the droplets go there and the people die. The first drop marks life, the next drop marks the end of death, the third drop seals the letter forever. Tsimi trioma is peeled off with drops on the knife of the Angel of Death. Niatsrinel- a demon, like a living inferno on the plain, which is called the Grave Pit.
In many legends, the face of Death has a captur, and even Death may be faceless and put before everyone else. Her braid is needed for “sweating” life.
