These noble three - Jibril, Mika'il and Israfil - are the leaders of the angels. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say in his supplication:
"0 Allah, Lord of Jibril, Mika'il and Israfil, Bringer of the heavens and the earth into being, Knower of the unseen and visible, it is You who judges between Your slaves concerning the thirigs about which they disagree. Guide us to the truth in respect of the things about which there is disagreement by Your permission. You guide whomever You will to a straight path."
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have.mercy on him, said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, pleaded with Allah - Glory be to Him! - by His. overall lordship and His particular lordship over these three angels who are the guardians of all life. Jibril is entrusted with the revelation by which hearts and souls are brought to life; Mika' il is entrusted with the rain by which land, plants and animals are brought to life; and Israfil is entrusted with blowing the Trumpet by which all creatures will be brought to life after their death. Therefore Allah's Messenger asked Allah.by His lordship over these angels to' guide.him to the truth in respect of those things about which there is disagreement by His permission since in that lies all the benefits of life.
