“Verily there is an angel in the air called Ismāʿīl who leads three hundred thousand angels, each of whom leads another hundred thousand angels. They count [and record] the actions of the servants, and when a new year begins, Allah sends to them an angel called al-Sijill who gathers [all] that from them. This is what is referred to in the verse wherein Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: On the Day we will roll up the sky as al-Sijill rolls up his scrolls [of recorded deeds] (Q21:104).” [1]
