[edit] Additions to Israfel

Hello. Thank you for your addition to the Israfel article, particularly the Arabic equivalent of the name. I did, however, remove the statement that the English for Israfel is "Raphael," and indicated the equivalency lower in the article. The information just as it was stated is incorrect linguistically (they are from very different semitic root-words). In the traditional lore, Israfel is, as the article on him indicates, associated with judgment and often with music. Raphael, as demonstrated in his role in the Book of Tobit, is generally associated with healing, which is what his name means. On the other hand, Israfil is associated with several other angelic names like Uriel and Sarafiel, so I have included a section on the other names with which he is equated. ◄Zahakiel► 23:35, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
