Although the name "Israfil" does not appear in the Quran, mention is repeatedly made of an unnamed trumpet-angel assumed to identify this figure: "And the trumpet shall be blown, so all those that are in the heavens and all those that are in the earth shall swoon, except him whom Allah will ; then it shall be blown again, then they shall stand up awaiting." — Quran, 39.68.
Nach dem Urteilsspruch soll Hüglin zum Himmel gesehen und laut gerufen haben: „Ach verzeihe euch Gott, ihr Leute, ihr wisset doch nicht, was ihr tut!“ (Vergleiche das Kreuzeswort Lk 23,34 LUT und Alexandre Roussel.)
