Question

i really dont want to give you a lesson but here it is .yes the name was given to the angel of death. the name MEANS whom God helps. >=[ he was one of the eighth of the nine archangels okay. god appointed him to take the souls of the withered and sickly so they could start a new life. BUT he was appouled by hell so he would sneak in and release some of the souls. god got pissed and banished him from heaven. & thats why death is looked down upon.

Answer 1

I guess in Islam, and Judism. Angel of Death- a common name for the angel is Izra-eel, however, not mentioned in any scriptures.

In Muslim and Islam theology, Azrael is the Angel of Death who is "forever writing in a large book and forever erasing what he writes: what he writes is the birth of man, what he erases is the name of the man at death."

Other faiths name the Angel of Death as a different angel:

In Judeo-Christian lore, Michael, Gabriel, Sammael, and Sariel all all named as the angel of death.

In Zoroastrianism the angel of death is Mairya.

In Babylon it is Mot.

In Rabbinical lore there are 14 angels of death: Yetzerhara, Adriel, Yehudiam, Abaddon, Sammael, Azrael, Metatron, Gabriel, Mashhit, Hemah, Malach ha-Mavet, Kafziel, Kesef, and Leviathan.

In Falasha lore it is Suriel.

The Arabic angel is Azrael.

Jewish lore says this angel is Rahab, who, lore goes on to say, was destroyed by God for refusing to part the waters of the red sea. The new angel of death then became Yama (Malach ha-Mavet).

The Talmud says the angel of death was equated with Satan, and thus became the legend that the angel of death was evil, rather than the good angel he is.

Azrael, also known as Izra'il, one of the four Archangels of Islam (Mikhail, Djibril, and Israfil), is pictured as having gigantic proportions: one foot rests in either the forth or the seventh heaven, while the other is on the bridge between hell and paradise. Supposedly Azrael brought God a handful of earth from which to create Adam and therefore earned his title as the Angel of Death. Izra'il keeps a roll of humanity, on which the names of the damned are circle in black and the names of the blessed, in light. When a person's day of death approaches, a leaf with the person's name on it falls from the tree beneath God's throne. After forty days have passed, Izra'il must sever the individual's soul from his or her body.

Azrael will be the last to die, but will do so at the second trump of the Archangel. He is the angel who accompanies your soul to Heaven.

The phrase 'the Wings of Azrael' refers to the approach of death; the signs of death coming on the dying.

Yes, still an inapproiate name for a kid:

Although the name Azrael creates an interest in the deeper aspects of life, we emphasize that it causes an emotional intensity that is hard to control.

This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the heart, lungs, bronchial area, and nervous system.

Your first name of Azrael has given you a clever, deep mind and the talent to excel in highly inspirational lines of endeavour as a dramatist, musician, writer, or artist.

You can be lifted by beauty in all forms and you are at the most creative when inspired.

Your expressive, affectionate nature responds very quickly through your feelings, but you must guard against being possessive and jealous.

You feel and sense much that you do not fully understand and cannot express.

Your delight in mystery could draw you into occult studies or religions.

But if you are intent on giving your kid this name, why did you ask our opinion?

Answer 2

What does that have to do with whether it's an appropriate name to saddle an innocent child with?

I personally, even if it were a decent sounding name, would not want to name my child after the angel who was cast out of Heaven by God Himself for breaking the rules.

Also, in a brief web search, I do not see Azrael as being listed as one of the archangels in any religious tradition. Interestingly enough, my own son IS named after one of the archangels--the one who delivered the news of Jesus to Mary and of John the Baptist.

Answer 3

Sorry, but my first reaction was la la la la la la.... the smurfs. Besides after reading what you wrote about the meaning of the name, you would be saddling the kid with a heavy name.

Answer 4

Azreal reminds me too much of Gargamel's cat on the Smurfs.

Answer 5

the first thing i thought of was the smurfs

Answer 6

I understand the biblical connection but my first reaction is "Smurfy!!". I'm sorry.

Answer 7

What if your child chooses to be an atheist.

Answer 8

ITS ALSO THE CATS NAME OFF THE SMURFS!!!!!!

Answer 9

is it prn Az-ruh-el , az-rail ? Az ree el i think is how..

I dunno if you really like it then use it, can nickname him Azra kinda like Ezra

maybe even use it for a girl if you want. Azrielle ?
