Angels-DJIBRIL

Djibril (also Jibril or Jabril, among other variant spellings) is Gabriel’s
name in Islam.

He is looked upon as a guardian angel, has huge green
wings, and bears the inscription “There is no God but God, and
Muhammad is the Prophet of God” between his eyes. Djibril is said to
have presented himself before the prophet Muhammad on “the Night
of Power and Glory” and dictated to him the sacred words of the
Koran. Djibril also led Muhammad (who rode upon a winged magic
mule with the face of a woman) to the Islamic shrine known as the
Dome of the Rock, where Muhammad ascended a golden ladder to the
heavens. Along the way, he passed by Isa and Idris (Jesus and Hermes),
Adam, Abraham, Moses, and the archangel Michael. Muhammad
later arrived at a vast sea of golden light where he was enlightened
to divine truth. He then returned to earth.
In Islamic legend, Djibril has at least six hundred wings, and the
sun is placed between his two eyes. Djibril is also said to have been
helpful and sympathetic to Adam after he fell from grace. He instructed
Adam in the arts and escorted him to Mecca, where he trained him
in pilgrimage rituals. Djibril is known in Persian lore as both Serosh,
“the message-bringer,” and Bahram, “the mightiest of all the angels.”
