Question
A person claims that there is no such angel as Izraaeel (the Angel of Death). The Qur'aan does not mention him. Please comment.
Answer
The person is a jaahil at the minimum. He may also be a kaafir for rejecting what is substantiated by the highest class of Ahaadith. The Qur'aan mentions that Malakul Maut is the Angel of Death, and the most authentic Hadith mentions that his name is Izraaeel.
