Azrael

July 4, 2005

According to the Koran and Mohammadian mythology, Azrael is one of the four archangels. He is said to have four faces, one on each side of his head, representing the four kings of the Apocalypse. In the end, he will be the last angel to die, on the second blow of the angel’s horn.

Azrael is an angel of vengence, and is thought to have been the one who destroyed Sodom and Gommorah. It is said that in the end, those who are saved will be carried to heaven in a silk handerchief, while the damned will be taken in a rotten bag.
