The Angel of Death Azrael, also referred to as Izail, is one of the four archangels in the Islamic religion. Azrael is the Angel of Death, who is constantly writing in a big book and constantly erasing what he writes: “What he writes is the birth of man; what he erases is the name of the man at death.” He keeps track of people’s names and then removes them when they pass away.
