In Islamic cosmology, Isrāfīl is one of the four archangels (Muqarrabūn), described as possessing four massive wings and a stature spanning the heavens to the underworld. Charged with guarding the Preserved Tablet (al-Lawḥ al-Maḥfūẓ) and sounding the trumpet (aṣ-Ṣūr), his first blast will strike all creation dead with terror (ṣa'iqah), while his second blast will resurrect all souls from their graves for divine judgment.
“While the Quran refers to the trumpet-blower anonymously as an angel, authentic Hadith traditions in Tirmidhi identify him as Israfil standing ready with the horn to his mouth, awaiting the divine command to initiate the end of time.”
