Is there any evidence to show that the name of the Angel of Death is Azraa'eel?.
Praise be to Allaah.
It is widely assumed that the name of the Angel of Death is Azraa'eel,
but there is nothing in the Qur'aan or saheeh Sunnahof the Prophet
(peace andblessings of Allaah be upon him) to indicate thatthis is his
name. Rather this is narrated in some reports which may be from among
the Israa'eeliyyaat (reports from Jewish sources).
Based on this, we cannot be certain whether this is his name or not.
So we cannot affirm that the name of the Angel of Death is Azraa'eel,
nor canwe deny it. Rather we should refer this matter toAllaah and
call him as Allaah calls him, the 'Angel of Death". Allaah says
(interpretation of themeaning):
"Say: The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls.
Then you shall be brought to your Lord"
[al-Sajdah 32:11]
But the name of the Angelof Death is not given in the Qur'aan or in
the saheeh ahaadeeth. His name is mentioned in some reports as
Azraa'eel,but Allaah knows best.
Allaah says (interpretationof the meaning):
"Say: The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls.
Then you shall be brought to your Lord"
[al-Sajdah 32:11]
Al-Sindi said: There is no marfoo' hadeeth [one thatcan be traced back
to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)] which
mentions his name.
Al-Manaawi said in Fayd al-Qadeer (3/32), after stating that the Angel
of Death is known by the name 'Azraa'eel: I have never seen anyreport
giving his name as such.
Shaykh al-Albaani said in his comment on the words of al-Tahhaawi, "We
believe in the Angel of Death who is appointed to take the souls of
all creatures":
This ("the Angel of Death") is what he is called in the Qur'aan.
Withregard to the name 'Azraa'eel which is widely known among the
people,there is no basis for this, rather it comes from the
Israa'eeliyyaat.
Shaykh Ibn 'Uthaymeen said:
"The Angel of Death" is well known by the name 'Azraa'eel, but this is
not correct, rather this was narrated from Jewish sources. So we
should not believe in this name, and we should call the one who is
appointed over death "the Angel of Death," as Allaah called him in the
verse (interpretation of the meaning):
"Say: The angel of death, who is set over you, will take your souls.
Then you shall be brought to your Lord"
[al-Sajdah 32:11]
Fataawa Ibn 'Uthaymeen, 3/161
And Allaah knows best.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*

Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
