From The Wonders of Creation and Oddities of Existance ('Aja'ib al-Makhluqat) Written by al-Qazwini MS Late 14th, early 15th C In Islamic belief, as in Christianity, archangels will play a key role in the Last Judgement. Heralding the Day of Resurrection, the angel Israfil blows his trumpet, calling all creatures to assemble in Jerusalem. The celestial being is not named in the Koran, but in hadith, or the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, and scholars specify that he sounds his call from the sacred Rock. He is discussed along with Gabriel, whose entry begins on this folio, and other angels in this cosmographic study of both the divine and material aspects of the world
