Israfil is one of the close angels to God known mainly for blowing the Trumpet to announce the end of this world. In hadiths, his name is said to be "'Abd al-Rahman" and his [[kunya]] is "Abu l-Manafikh". The word, "Israfil", does not appear in the [[Qur'an]], but there are verses concerning blowing the Trumpet which is, according to hadiths, undertaken by Israfil. According to hadiths, this angel is the manifestation of the [[divine attribute]], [[al-Rahman]], and the manifestation of the tenet of "life" in the [[Preserved Slate]] (al-Lawh al-Mahfuz). He was the first to mention "subhan rabbi al-a'la wa bi-hamdih" (exalted is my Lord the Highest and I praise Him). | Israfil is one of the close angels to God known mainly for blowing the Trumpet to announce the end of this world.
