'''Archangel Raguel''' (Raguil, Rasuil, Rufael, Suryan, Akrasiel) is one of the seven [[archangels]] mainly of the [[Judaic]] and [[Islamic]] [[traditions]]. His [[name]]'s [[meaning]] is considered to be "Friend of God".

Raguel is referred to as the archangel of [[justice]], [[fairness]] and [[harmony]]. In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Enoch Book of Enoch], Raguel is one of the seven archangels whose [[function]] is to take [[vengeance]] on the world of the luminaries who have transgressed God's [[laws]]. Raguel brings a course of [[fire]] which persecutes all the fallen luminaries. Raguel also shows Enoch The Seven Mountains and in the midst of it- the high mountain which is the [[throne]] of [[God]] where the Lord of Glory will sit along with the tree of [[wisdom]]. Raguel is found in the [[Book of Revelation|Revelation of John]] as the angel of the church in Philadelphia ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_revelation#Chapter_3 Rev 3:7]). This angel can also be attributed to the sixth angel ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_revelation#Chapter_9 Rev 9:14]). Raguel watches over other angels to make sure they are working well [[together]] with [[mortals]] in a harmonious and orderly fashion according to Divine order ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_revelation#Chapter_3 Rev 3:7 - 13]) and will. Raguel brings all the other [[archangels]] and angels to account for their improper deeds.

Raguel is not mentioned in the canonical writings of the [[Bible]]. His name is listed as one of the seven archangels in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Enoch Book of Enoch]. While not mentioned by name in the Bible, [[interpreters]] of these [[texts]] believe they refer to him in several places. When the patriarch Enoch visited [[heaven]] as a mortal, it was Raguel who carried him to and from the mortal world. Most of the Biblical references, however, come from [[Revelation of John]].

Possible historical [[references]] to a similar figure from other cultures can be found in Babylonian culture as "Rag" (some [[translations]] say Ragumu), and in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumer Sumerian] as "Rig" which means to talk or [[speech]]. Thus, these similar characters represented [[balance]] in those cultures as well.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raguel_%28archangel%29]
