0.02 sec. |
Mika'ilIn Islam, the counterpart of the biblical archangel Michael. Mika'il is mentioned only once in the Qur'an, but, according to legend, he and Jibril were the first angels to obey God's order to worship Adam. The two are credited with purifying Muhammad's heart before his ascension to heaven (see mir'aj). Mika'il is said to have been so shocked at the sight of hell when it was created that he never laughed again. He is also believed to have helped the Muslims win their first significant military victory in Arabia in 624. How to thank TFD for its existence?
