Azrael

Azrael is a special and mystical being that some people believe in. In some religions, like Islam and Judaism, Azrael is known as the Angel of Death. Now, what does that mean? Well, Azrael is not like the Grim Reaper that you might see in movies. Instead, the Angel of Death is a kind and gentle being that helps people peacefully transition from life to death. This is usually when a person's time on earth comes to an end.

Azrael is also known as the "scribe of God" because he is responsible for recording people's good and bad deeds throughout their lives. He creates a record of these deeds, which are said to be used later on in a person's afterlife. This record is known as the "Book of Deeds". The Book of Deeds is what decides a person's destination in the afterlife, whether it is to Heaven or Hell.

In some popular culture references, Azrael is also associated with being a protector or guardian. For instance, in the comic series, "Batman", Azrael is a character who takes over for Batman as Gotham's protector. But remember, not everyone believes in Azrael's existence. It's up to individual beliefs and faith.
