Sanctuaries to Michael were built by Christians in the 4th century, when he was first seen as a healing angel.

===Quran===
Michael ([[Arabic]]: ميخائيل ''Mīkhā‘īl'', ميكائيل ''Mīkā‘īl'' ), is one of the two archangels mentioned in the [[Quran]], alongside [[Jibreel|Jibrail]] (Gabriel). In non-Quranic sources, such as ''Sahih Muslim,''<ref>Sahih Muslim, Book 004, Chapter 118 (supplication in the night prayer), Number 1694, page 441/1800</ref> "[[Israfil]]" (sometimes spelled, "Israfel") is yet another Islamic 'archangel'.<ref>''Dictionary of Angels'', by Gustav Davidson, page 152 - https://books.google.as/books?id=kGXelGEMdWgC&pg=PA152&dq=Israfel&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiPo-udw-LhAhXHITQIHSiVAAYQ6AEIOTAE#v=onepage&q=Israfel&f=false</ref><ref>''Angels, A to Z: Who's Who of the Heavenly Host,'' by Matthew Bunson, page 145 - https://books.google.as/books?id=9hzyxbMUqHoC&pg=PA145&dq=Israfel+muhammad&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjfnfuPxOLhAhV4JzQIHbi4BsgQ6AEILzAB#v=onepage&q=Israfel%20muhammad&f=false</ref> In the Quran, Michael is mentioned once only, in [[Sura 2]]:98: "Whoever is an enemy to God, and His angels and His messengers, and Jibrail and Mikhail!

==Religious faiths==
===Judaism===
According to rabbinic Jewish tradition, Michael acted as the advocate of Israel, and sometimes had to fight with the princes of the other nations (cf. 10:13) and particularly with the angel [[Samael]], Israel's accuser. Michael's enmity against Samael dates from the time when the latter was thrown down from heaven. Samael took hold of the wings of Michael, whom he wished to bring down with him in his fall; but Michael was saved by God.<ref>Midrash Pirke R. El. xxvi</ref><ref>{{cite encyclopedia | title = Jewish Encyclopedia - Michael | encyclopedia = Jewish Encyclopedia | url = http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=560&letter=M#1833 | access-date=2009-02-18}}</ref> Michael said, "May The Lord rebuke you" to Satan for attempting to claim the body of [[Moses]].<ref>Midrash Deut. Rabbah xi. 6</ref>

[[File:Michael.svg|thumb|150px|Michael in [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]]]
The idea that Michael was the advocate of the Jews became so prevalent {{where|date=April 2019}} that in spite of the rabbinical prohibition against appealing to angels as intermediaries between God and his people, Michael came to occupy a certain place in the Jewish liturgy: "When a man is in need he must pray directly to God, and neither to Michael nor to [[Gabriel]]."<ref>Yer. Ber. ix. 13a</ref> Two prayers were written beseeching him as the prince of mercy to intercede in favor of Israel: one composed by Byzantine Jew [[Eliezer ben Kalir| Eliezer ha-Kalir]] (c. 570 – c. 640), and the other by [[Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg|Judah ben Samuel he-Hasid]] (1150 – 22 February 1217), a leader of the [[Chassidei Ashkenaz]] in [[Bavaria]]. But appeal to Michael seems to have been more common in ancient times {{where|date=April 2019}}{{when|date=April 2019}}. [[Jeremiah]] is said to have addressed a prayer to him.<ref>Baruch Apoc. Ethiopic, ix. 5</ref>

The [[rabbi]]s declare that Michael entered upon his role of defender at the time of the biblical patriarchs. Rabbi Eliezer ben Jacob said that Michael rescued [[Abraham]] from the furnace into which he had been thrown by [[Nimrod]] (Midrash Genesis Rabbah xliv. 16). It is claimed that it was Michael, the "one that had escaped" (Genesis [[wikisource:Bible (American Standard)/Genesis#14:13|14:13]]), who told Abraham that Lot had been taken captive (Midrash Pirke R. El.), and who protected Sarah from being defiled by Abimelech.

It is also said that Michael prevented [[Isaac]] from being sacrificed by his father by substituting a ram in his place. He saved [[Jacob]], while yet in his mother's womb, from being killed by Samael.<ref>Midrash Abkir, in Yalḳ., Gen. 110</ref> Later Michael prevented Laban from harming Jacob.(''[[Pirke De-Rabbi Eliezer]]'', xxxvi).

The [[midrash]] ''Exodus Rabbah'' holds that Michael exercised his function of advocate of Israel at the time of [[The Exodus|the Exodus]] also. Satan (as an adversary) accused the Israelites of idolatry and said that they were consequently deserving of death by [[drowning]] in the [[Red Sea]]. Michael is also said to have destroyed the army of [[Sennacherib]].<ref>Midrash Exodus Rabbah xviii. 5</ref>

====Early Christian views and devotions====
[[File:Michael4.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Statue of Archangel Michael at the [[University of Bonn]], slaying Satan as a dragon; ''[[Quis ut Deus]]'' is inscribed on his shield]]

Michael was venerated as a healer in [[Phrygia]] (modern-day Turkey).<ref name="Cathenc">[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10275b.htm Holweck, Frederick. "St. Michael the Archangel." ''The Catholic Encyclopedia''. Vol. 10. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1911. 29 Dec. 2014]</ref>

The earliest and most famous sanctuary to Michael in the ancient Near East was also associated with healing waters. It was the ''[[Michaelion]]'' built in the early 4th century by [[Emperor Constantine]] at [[Chalcedon]], on the site of an earlier temple called ''Sosthenion''.<ref name=Richard >Richard Freeman Johnson (2005), ''Saint Michael the Archangel in Medieval English Legend'' {{ISBN|1-84383-128-7}}; pp. 33-34</ref>

[[Epiphanius of Salamis]] (c. 310–320 – 403) referred in his Coptic-Arabic ''Hexaemeron'' to Michael as a replacement of [[Satan]]. Accordingly, after Satan fell, Michael was appointed to the function Satan served when he was still one of the noble angels.<ref>Monferrer-Sala, J. P. (2014). "One More Time on the Arabized Nominal Form Iblīs", ''Studia Orientalia Electronica,'' 112, 55-70. Retrieved from https://journal.fi/store/article/view/9526</ref>

A painting of the Archangel slaying a serpent became a major art piece at the Michaelion after Constantine defeated [[Licinius]] near there in 324. This contributed to the standard [[iconography]] that developed of Archangel Michael as a [[warrior saint]] slaying a dragon.<ref name=Richard /> The Michaelion was a magnificent church and in time became a model for hundreds of other churches in [[Eastern Christianity]]; these spread devotions to the Archangel.<ref>[[Anna Jameson]] (2004), ''Sacred and Legendary Art'' {{ISBN|0-7661-8144-8}}; p. 92</ref>

In the 4th century, [[Basil the Great|Saint Basil the Great]]'s homily (''De Angelis'') placed Saint Michael over all the angels. He was called ''"Archangel"'' because he heralds other angels, the title Ἀρχαγγέλος (archangelos) being used of him in [[Epistle of Jude|Jude]] 1:9.<ref name=Cathenc /> Into the 6th century, the view of Michael as a healer continued in Rome; after a plague, the sick slept at night in the church of ''[[Castel Sant'Angelo]]'' (dedicated to him for saving Rome), waiting for his manifestation.<ref name=Butler320 >Alban Butler, ''The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and other Principal Saints''. 12 vols. Dublin: James Duffy, 1866; p. 320</ref>

In the 6th century, the growth of devotions to Michael in the [[Western Church]] was expressed by the feasts dedicated to him, as recorded in the [[Leonine Sacramentary]]. The 7th-century [[Gelasian Sacramentary]] included the feast ''"S. Michaelis Archangeli"'', as did the 8th-century [[Sacramentary#The Gregorian Sacramentary|Gregorian Sacramentary]]. Some of these documents refer to a ''Basilica Archangeli'' (no longer extant) on [[via Salaria]] in Rome.<ref name=Cathenc />

The [[angelology]] of [[Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite|Pseudo-Dionysius]], which was widely read as of the 6th century, gave Michael a rank in the [[celestial hierarchy]]. Later, in the 13th century, others such as [[Bonaventure]] believed that he is the prince of the [[Seraphim]], the first of the nine angelic orders. According to [[Thomas Aquinas]] (''[[Summa Theologica|Summa]]'' Ia. 113.3), he is the Prince of the last and lowest choir, the Angels.<ref name=Cathenc />

====Catholicism====
{{For|Roman Catholic views and prayers|Saint Michael (Roman Catholic)}}
[[File:Jacopo vignali, san michele arcangelo libera le anime del purgatorio.jpg|thumb|upright|Archangel Michael ''[[Saint Michael (Roman Catholic)#Saving souls at the hour of death|reaching to save souls in purgatory]]'', by [[Jacopo Vignali]], 17th century]]
[[Catholic Church|Catholic]]s often refer to Michael as "Holy Michael, the Archangel"<ref>[http://www.catholic.org/prayers/prayer.php?p=12 Catholic Online, Prayers]</ref> or "Saint Michael", a title that does not indicate [[Canonization|canonisation]]. He is generally referred to in Christian [[litany|litanies]] as "Saint Michael", as in the [[Litany of the Saints]]. In the shortened version of this litany used in the [[Easter Vigil]], he alone of the angels and archangels is mentioned by name, omitting saints [[Gabriel]] and [[Raphael (archangel)|Raphael]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.google.com/search?q=Cadwallader+Michael+Chonai&btnG= |first=Alan H.|last=Cadwallader|author2=Michael Trainor|title=Colossae in Space and Time|publisher=Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht|year=2011 |isbn=978-3-525-53397-0| page=323|access-date=2012-12-27}}</ref>

In [[Saint Michael (Roman Catholic)|Roman Catholic teachings]], Saint Michael has four main roles or offices.<ref name=Cathenc/> His first role is the leader of the Army of God and the leader of heaven's forces in their triumph over the powers of hell.<ref name=Donna60 >Donna-Marie O'Boyle, ''Catholic Saints Prayer Book'' OSV Publishing, 2008 {{ISBN|1-59276-285-9}} page 60</ref> He is viewed as the angelic model for the virtues of the ''spiritual warrior'', with the conflict against evil at times viewed as the ''battle within''.<ref name=Starr2 >Starr, Mirabai. ''Saint Michael: The Archangel'', Sounds True, 2007 {{ISBN|1-59179-627-X}} page 2</ref>

[[File:Stift Rein - Bibliothek, Antiphonale Cisterciense, Miniatur Erzengel Michael.jpg|thumb|left|upright|''St. Michael weighing souls during the [[Last Judgement]]'', ''Antiphonale Cisterciense'' (15th century), Abbey Bibliotheca, [[Rein Abbey, Austria]]]]
The second and third roles of Michael in Catholic teachings deal with death. In his second role, Michael is the angel of death, [[psychopomp|carrying the souls]] of all the deceased to heaven. In this role Michael descends at the hour of death, and gives each soul the chance to redeem itself before passing; thus consternating the devil and his minions. Catholic prayers often refer to this role of Michael. In his third role, he weighs souls in his perfectly balanced scales. For this reason, Michael is often depicted holding scales.{{sfn|Starr|p=39}}

In his fourth role, Saint Michael, the special patron of the Chosen People in the Old Testament, is also the guardian of the Church. Saint Michael was revered by the military orders of knights during the [[Middle Ages in history|Middle Ages]]. The names of villages around the [[Bay of Biscay]] express that history. This role also was why he was considered the patron saint of a number of cities and countries.{{sfn|Butler|1821|p=117}}<ref name="ReferenceA">Michael McGrath, ''Patrons and Protectors''. Liturgy Training, 2001. {{ISBN|1-56854-109-0}}.</ref>

Roman Catholicism includes traditions such as the ''[[Prayer to Saint Michael]],'' which specifically asks for the faithful to be "defended" by the saint.<ref>{{cite web|website=[[EWTN]] |title=Prayer to St Michael |url=http://www.ewtn.com/devotionals/prayers/michael.htm}}</ref><ref>Matthew Bunson, ''The Catholic Almanac's Guide to the Church'', OSV Publishing, 2001 {{ISBN|0-87973-914-2}} page 315</ref><ref>Amy Welborn, ''The Words We Pray''.

=====Saint Michael the Archangel prayer=====
{{Main|Prayer to Saint Michael#In the Leonine Prayers}}
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

====Eastern and Oriental Orthodoxy====

The [[Eastern Orthodox]] accord Michael the title ''Archistrategos'', or "Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Hosts".<ref>{{cite book|url=https://www.google.com/search?q=Baun+%22Michael+Archistrategos%22&btnG= |first=Jane|last=Baun|title=Tales from Another Byzantium|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2007|isbn=978-0-521-82395-1|page=391 et passim |access-date=2012-12-27}}</ref> The Eastern Orthodox pray to their [[guardian angel]]s and above all to Michael and Gabriel.<ref>''Eastern Orthodox Theology: A Contemporary Reader'' by Daniel B. Clendenin (2003) {{ISBN|0801026512}}, page 75</ref>

The Eastern Orthodox have always had strong devotions to angels. In contemporary times they are referred to by the term of "Bodiless Powers".<ref name="EOEnc" /> A number of feasts dedicated to Archangel Michael are celebrated by the Eastern Orthodox throughout the year.<ref name="EOEnc">''The Encyclopedia of Eastern Orthodox Christianity'', by John Anthony McGuckin (2011) {{ISBN|1405185392}} page 30</ref>

Archangel Michael is mentioned in a number of Eastern Orthodox hymns and prayer, and his icons are widely used within Eastern Orthodox churches.<ref name="B16">''The Eastern Orthodox Church: Its Thought and Life'', by Ernst Benz (2008) {{ISBN|0202362981}}, page 16</ref> In many Eastern Orthodox icons, Christ is accompanied by a number of angels, Michael being a predominant figure among them.<ref name="B16" />

In Russia, many monasteries, cathedrals, court and merchant churches are dedicated to the Chief Commander Michael; most Russian cities have a church or chapel dedicated to the Archangel Michael.<ref>''A Geography of Russia and Its Neighbors'', by Mikhail S. Blinnikov (2010) ISBN, page 203</ref><ref>''Architectures of Russian Identity, 1500 to the Present'', by James Cracraft (2003) {{ISBN|0801488281}}, page 42</ref>

The place of Michael in the [[Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria]] is as a [[intercession of saints|saintly intercessor]]. He is the one who presents to God the prayers of the just, who accompanies the souls of the dead to heaven, who defeats the devil. He is celebrated liturgically on the 12th of each [[Coptic calendar|Coptic month]].<ref>''Two Thousand Years of Coptic Christianity'', by Otto Friedrich August Meinardus (2010) {{ISBN|977-424-757-4}} pages 27, 117, 147</ref> In [[Alexandria]], a church was dedicated to him in the early fourth century on the 12th of the month of [[Paoni]]. The 12th of the month of [[Hathor (month)|Hathor]] is the celebration of Michael's appointment in heaven, where Michael became the chief of the angels.<ref>''Money, Land and Trade: An Economic History of the Muslim Mediterranean'', by Nelly Hanna (2002) {{ISBN|1-86064-699-9}}, page 226</ref>

====Protestant views====
[[File:Erzengel Michael-Statue über dem Portal der St. Michaeliskirche Hamburg.jpg|thumb|Statue at [[St. Michaelis Church, Hamburg]]]]

Some Protestant denominations recognize Michael as an archangel. Within Protestantism, the [[Anglican]] and [[Methodist]] tradition recognizes four angels as archangels: Michael, [[Raphael (archangel)|Raphael]], [[Gabriel|Gabriel]], and [[Uriel|Uriel]].<ref name="Armentrout2000">{{cite book|last=Armentrout|first=Don S.|title=An Episcopal Dictionary of the Church|date=1 January 2000|publisher=Church Publishing, Inc.|language=English|isbn=9780898697018|page=14}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=The Methodist New Connexion Magazine and Evangelical Repository, Volume XXXV, Third Series |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7Q8EAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA493|year=1867|publisher=William Cooke|location=London|language=English|page=493}}</ref> The American evangelist [[Billy Graham]] wrote that in Sacred Scripture, there is only one individual explicitly described as an archangel—Michael—in Jude 1:9.<ref name="Billy Graham">[[Billy Graham|Graham, Billy]] (1995).

Citing [[Hengstenberg]], John A. Lees, in ''International Standard Bible Encyclopedia'', states: "The earlier [[Protestant]] scholars usually identified Michael with the [[Pre-existence of Christ|pre-incarnate Christ]], finding support for their view, not only in the juxtaposition of the 'child' and the archangel in {{Bibleverse||Rev|12:1-17|ESV}}, but also in the attributes ascribed to him in [[Book of Daniel|Daniel]]."<ref name="Lees">{{cite web|url=http://www.internationalstandardbible.com/M/michael.html |title=John A.

Michael continues to be recognized {{Specify|date=April 2019}}{{Vague|date=April 2019}}{{Who|date=April 2019}}among Protestants by key churches dedicated to him, e.g., [[St. Michaelis Church, Hamburg]] and [[St. Michael's Church, Hildesheim]], each of which is of the [[Lutheran Church]] and has appeared in the Bundesländer series of [[€2 commemorative coins]] for 2008 and 2014 respectively.

In Bach's time, the annual feast of Michael and All the Angels on 29 September was regularly celebrated with a festive service, for which Bach composed several cantatas, for example the [[Chorale cantata (Bach)|chorale cantata]] ''[[Herr Gott, dich loben alle wir, BWV 130]]'' in 1724, [[Es erhub sich ein Streit, BWV 19|''Es erhub sich ein Streit'', BWV 19]], in 1726 and [[Man singet mit Freuden vom Sieg, BWV 149|''Man singet mit Freuden vom Sieg'', BWV 149]], in 1728 or 1729.

[[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventists]], believe that "Michael" is but one of the many titles applied to the Son of God, the second person of the Godhead. According to Adventists, such a view does not in any way conflict with the belief in his full deity and eternal preexistence, nor does it in the least disparage his person and work.<ref>[http://www.sdanet.org/atissue/books/qod/index.htm Seventh-day Adventists Answer Questions on Doctrine], Review and Herald Publishing Association, Washington, D.C., 1957. Chapter 8 "Christ, and Michael the Archangel".</ref> According to Adventist theology, Michael was considered the "eternal Word", and not a created being or created angel, and the one by whom all things were created. The Word was then born incarnate as Jesus.<ref>''Seventh Day Adventists: What do they believe?'' by Val Waldeck Pilgrim Publications (April 5, 2005) page 16</ref>

[[Seventh-day Adventist Church|Seventh-day Adventists]] believe that name "Michael" signifies "One Who Is Like God" and that as the "Archangel" or "chief or head of the angels" he led the angels and thus the statement in [[wikisource:Bible (American Standard)/Revelation 12:7-9|Revelation 12:7-9]] identifies Jesus as Michael.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.adventistworld.org/article.php?id=787&search=law |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120724141630/http://www.adventistworld.org/article.php?id=787&search=law |url-status=dead |archive-date=2012-07-24 |title=The Remnant |publisher=Adventist World |accessdate=2011-12-05}}</ref>

In the Seventh-day Adventist view, the statement in some translations of [[wikisource:Bible (American Standard)/1 Thessalonians#4:13|1 Thessalonians 4:13-18]] and [[wikisource:Bible (American Standard)/John#5:25|John 5:25-29]] confirm that Jesus and Michael are the same.<ref name="AdventistRef">{{cite book|title=Bible readings for the home by 7th Day Adventists|location= London |year=1949 |page=266 |url=https://books.google.com/?id=lETMH_kCeJcC&pg=PA266&dq=John+5:25+adventist+michael#v=onepage&q&f=false}}</ref>

====Jehovah's Witnesses====
{{See also|Jehovah's witnesses#Jehovah and Jesus Christ|l1=Jehovah's Witnesses beliefs about Jesus}}

[[Jehovah's Witnesses]] believe Michael to be another name for [[Jesus]] in heaven, in his pre-human and post-resurrection existence.<ref name="autogenerated218">Reasoning from the Scriptures, 1985, Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, p. 218</ref> They say the definite article at Jude 9&mdash;referring to "Michael the archangel"&mdash;identifies Michael as the only archangel. They consider Michael to be synonymous with Christ, described at {{Bibleverse|1|Thessalonians|4:16|ESV}} as descending "with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet".<ref>{{cite book|url=http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1200003035|title=Insight on the Scriptures|volume=2|pages=393&ndash;394|publisher=Watch Tower Society|accessdate=2013-05-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1102005160|title=What Does the Bible ''Really'' Teach?|pages=218&ndash;219 |publisher=Watch Tower Society|accessdate=2013-05-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|url=http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2007206|title=Angels&mdash;How They Affect Mankind|journal=The Watchtower|pages=21&ndash;25|publisher=Watch Tower Society|date=March 15, 2007|accessdate=2013-05-01}}</ref>

They believe the prominent roles assigned to Michael at Daniel 12:1 and Revelation 12:7, 19:14, 16, are identical to Jesus' roles, being the one chosen to lead God's people and as the only one who "stands up", identifying the two as the same spirit being. Because they identify Michael with Jesus, he is therefore considered the first and greatest of all God's heavenly sons, God's chief messenger, who takes the lead in vindicating God's [[sovereignty]], sanctifying his name, fighting the wicked forces of Satan and protecting God's covenant people on earth.<ref>{{cite book|title=What Does The Bible ''Really'' Teach?|page=87|publisher=Watch Tower Society}}</ref> Jehovah's Witnesses also identify Michael with the "[[Angel of the Lord]]" who led and protected the Israelites in the wilderness.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=The Watchtower|title=Your Leader Is One, the Christ|date=September 15, 2010|page=21}}</ref>

[[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|Latter-day Saints]] (also known informally as [[Mormons]]) believe that Michael is [[Adam and Eve (LDS Church)|Adam]], the [[Ancient of Days]] (Dan. 7), a prince, and the patriarch of the human family. Also, they hold that Michael assisted [[Jehovah]] (the heavenly form of [[Jesus]]) in the creation of the world under the direction of [[God the Father]] and cast Satan out of heaven.<ref>{{Citation |last= Millet |first= Robert L. |authorlink= Robert L.

The [[Quran]] mentions Michael together with [[Rūḥ|Gabriel]] in the [[sura]] [[Al-Baqarah]]:

{{quote|Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and messengers, to Gabriel and Michael, – Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith.|Quran, chapter 2 ([[Al-Baqara]]) verse 98<ref>{{Cite quran|2|98|s=ns}}</ref>}}

In [[Sunni Islam]], Michael appears in the creation narrative of [[Adam in Islam|Adam]]. Accordingly, he was sent to bring a handful of earth, but the Earth did not yield a piece of itself, some of which will burn. This is articulated by [[Al-Tha`labi|Al-Tha'labi]], whose narrative states that God tells Earth that some will obey him and others will not.<ref>The Birth of the Prophet Muḥammad: Devotional Piety in Sunni Islam – Page 21, Marion Holmes Katz – 2007</ref>

In [[Shia Islam]], in [[Dua]] Umm Dawood, a supplication reportedly handed down by the 6th [[Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq]], the reciter sends blessing upon Michael (with his name spelled as Mīkā'īl):<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.duas.org/ummedawood.htm |title = Aamal e Umme Dawood}}</ref><ref>http://www.wilayatmission.org/Duas/UmmDawood.pdf</ref>

<blockquote>O Allah! Bestow your blessing on Michael-angel of Your mercy and created for kindness and seeker of pardon for and supporter of the obedient people.</blockquote>

===Esoteric beliefs===
The French occultist, [[Eliphas Levi]], the German philosopher [[Franz Xaver von Baader|Franz von Baader]], and the [[Theosophy (Boehmian)|Theosophist]] Louis Claude de St. Martin spoke of 1879 as the year in which Michael overcame the dragon. In 1917, [[Rudolf Steiner]], the founder of [[anthroposophy]], similarly stated, "in 1879, in November, a momentous event took place, a battle of the Powers of Darkness against the Powers of Light, ending in the image of Michael overcoming the Dragon".<ref>{{cite book |last = Steiner |first = Rudolf | editor = Christopher Bamford | origyear = 1917 | year = 1994 | title = The Archangel Michael |publisher = Anthroposophic Press | location = Hudson, NY | isbn = 0-88010-378-7 }}</ref>

There is a legend which seems to be of Jewish origin, and which was adopted by the [[Copt]]s, to the effect that Michael was first sent by God to bring [[Nebuchadnezzar]] (c. 600 BC) against Jerusalem, and that Michael was afterward very active in freeing his nation from Babylonian captivity.<ref>[[Émile Amélineau|Amélineau]], "Contes et Romans de l'Egypte Chrétienne", ii. 142 et seq</ref>
According to midrash [[Genesis Rabbah]], Michael saved [[Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego|Hananiah]] and his companions from the [[Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego|Fiery furnace]] though the verse states that the person in the fire was the Son of God (not an angel).<ref>Midrash Genesis Rabbah xliv. 16</ref> Michael was active in the time of [[Esther]]: "The more [[Haman (Bible)|Haman]] accused Israel on earth, the more Michael defended Israel in heaven".<ref>Midrash Esther Rabbah iii. 8</ref> It was Michael who reminded [[Ahasuerus]] that he was [[Mordecai]]'s debtor;<ref>Targum to Esther, vi. 1</ref> and there is a legend that Michael appeared to the high priest [[Hyrcanus]], promising him assistance.<ref>comp. Josephus, "Ant." xiii. 10, § 3</ref>

According to ''[[Legends of the Jews]]'', archangel Michael was the chief of a band of angels who questioned God's decision to create man on earth.<ref name="ginzberg michael">Ginzberg, Louis, [https://philologos.org/__eb-lotj/vol1/two.htm#2 The Legends of the Jews, Vol. I: The Angels and The Creation of Man] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201063745/https://philologos.org/__eb-lotj/vol1/two.htm#2 |date=2017-12-01 }}, (Translated by Henrietta Szold), Johns Hopkins University Press: 1998, {{ISBN|0-8018-5890-9}}</ref> The entire band of angels, except for Michael, was then consumed by fire.<ref name="ginzberg michael" />

Christopher Hookway (Holy Convent of the Annunciation of Our Lady 1998 {{ISBN|960-85603-7-3}}), p. 47.</ref> The pious legend surrounding the event states that [[John the Apostle]], when preaching nearby, foretold the appearance of Michael at Cheretopa near [[Lake Salda]], where a healing spring appeared soon after the Apostle left; in gratitude for the healing of his daughter, one pilgrim built a church on the site.<ref>Synaxarion, p. 47.</ref> Local pagans, who are described as jealous of the healing power of the spring and the church, attempt to drown the church by redirecting the river, but the Archangel, "in the likeness of a column of fire", split the bedrock to open up a new bed for the stream, directing the flow away from the church.<ref>Synaxarion, p. 48.</ref> The legend is supposed to have predated the actual events, but the 5th – 7th-century texts that refer to the miracle at Chonae formed the basis of specific paradigms for "properly approaching" angelic intermediaries for more effective prayers within the Christian culture.<ref name=Peers >{{cite book|title=Subtle bodies: representing angels in Byzantium|first=Glenn |last=Peers |year=2001|publisher=University of California Press |isbn=0-520-22405-1 |page= 144 |url=https://books.google.com/?id=kaonEi_dCJIC&pg=PA143&dq=Chonae+michael+miracle+university+california#v=onepage&q&f=false}}</ref>

There is a late-5th-century legend in [[Cornwall]], UK that the Archangel appeared to fishermen on [[St Michael's Mount]].<ref name=Cornwall /> According to author Richard Freeman Johnson this legend is likely a nationalistic twist to a myth.<ref name=Cornwall >''Saint Michael the Archangel in medieval English legend'' by Richard Freeman Johnson 2005 {{ISBN|1-84383-128-7}} page 68</ref> Cornish legends also hold that the mount itself was constructed by giants<ref>''Popular Romances of the West of England'' by Robert Hunt 2009 {{ISBN|0-559-12999-8}} page 238</ref> and that [[King Arthur]] battled a giant there.<ref>''Myths and Legends of Britain and Ireland'' by Richard Jones 2006 {{ISBN|1-84537-594-7}} page 17</ref>

The legend of the apparition of the Archangel at around 490 AD at a secluded hilltop cave on [[Monte Gargano]] in Italy gained a following among the [[Lombards]] in the immediate period thereafter, and by the 8th century pilgrims arrived from as far away as England.<ref>''The Medieval state: essays presented to James Campbell'' by John Robert Maddicott, David Michael Palliser, James Campbell 2003 {{ISBN|1-85285-195-3}} pages 10–11</ref> The [[Tridentine Calendar]] included a feast of the apparition on 8 May, the date of the 663 victory over the [[Greece|Greek]] [[Naples|Neapolitans]] that the Lombards of [[Manfredonia]] attributed to Saint Michael.<ref name=Cathenc /> The feast [[General Roman Calendar of 1954|remained]] in the Roman liturgical calendar until removed in the [[General Roman Calendar of 1960|revision]] of [[Pope John XXIII]]. The [[Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo]] at Gargano is a major Catholic pilgrimage site.

According to Roman legends, Archangel Michael appeared with a sword over the [[mausoleum]] of [[Hadrian]] while a devastating plague persisted in Rome, in apparent answer to the prayers of Pope [[Gregory I the Great]] (c. 590–604) that the plague should cease. After the plague ended, in honor of the occasion, the pope called the mausoleum ''"[[Castel Sant'Angelo]]"'' (Castle of the Holy Angel), the name by which it is still known.<ref name=Butler320 />

According to [[Normandy|Norman]] legend, Michael is said to have appeared to [[St Aubert]], [[Bishop of Avranches]], in 708, giving instruction to build a church on the rocky islet now known as [[Mont Saint-Michel]].<ref name=MonkM >''Mont-Saint-Michel: a monk talks about his abbey'' by Jean-Pierre Mouton, Olivier Mignon 1998 {{ISBN|2-7082-3351-3}} pages 55-56</ref><ref name="CathMont">[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10551a.htm Huddleston, Gilbert.

A [[Portugal|Portuguese]] [[Carmelites|Carmelite]] nun, [[Antónia d'Astónaco]], reported an apparition and [[private revelation]] of the [[Saint Michael (Roman Catholic)|Archangel Michael]] who had told to this devoted [[Servant of God#Roman Catholicism|Servant of God]], in 1751, that he would like to be honored, and God glorified, by the praying of nine special invocations. These nine invocations correspond to invocations to the nine choirs of angels and origins the famous [[Chaplet of Saint Michael]]. This private revelation and prayers were approved by [[Pope Pius IX]] in 1851.{{sfn|Ball|p=123}}<ref>[[EWTN]] [http://www.ewtn.com/devotionals/prayers/chaplet-of-st-michael.htm The Chaplet of Saint Michael the Archangel]</ref>

From 1961 to 1965, four young schoolgirls had reported several apparitions of Archangel Michael in the small village of [[San Sebastian de Garabandal|Garabandal]], Spain. At Garabandal, the apparitions of the Archangel Michael were mainly reported as announcing the arrivals of the [[Blessed Virgin Mary|Virgin Mary]]. The [[Catholic Church]] has neither approved nor condemned the [[Garabandal apparitions]].<ref>Michael Freze, 1993, ''Voices, Visions, and Apparitions'', OSV Publishing {{ISBN|0-87973-454-X}} page 267</ref>

==Art and literature==

===In literature===
In the English [[epic poem]] ''[[Paradise Lost]]'' by [[John Milton]], Michael commands the army of angels loyal to God against the rebel forces of [[Satan]]. Armed with a sword from God's armory, he bests Satan in personal combat, wounding his side.<ref>John Milton, ''Paradise Lost'' 1674 [http://www.dartmouth.edu/~milton/reading_room/pl/book_6/index.shtml Book VI line 320]</ref>

In [[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]]'s translation of [[The Golden Legend]], Michael is one of the angels of the seven planets. He is the angel of Mercury.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Longfellow |first1=Henry Wadsworth |title=The Golden Legend |date=1851 |publisher=Ticknor, Reed and Fields |location=Boston |url=http://www.gutenberg.org/files/10490/10490-h/10490-h.htm}}</ref>

===Artistic depictions===
{{Main|Archangel Michael in Christian art}}
[[File:Meister der Ikone des Erzengels Michael 001 adjusted.jpg|thumb|10th-century gold and enamel Byzantine [[icon]] of [[St Michael]], in the treasury of the St Mark's Basilica ]]

In [[Christian art]], Archangel Michael may be depicted alone or with other angels such as [[Gabriel]]. Some depictions with Gabriel date back to the 8th century, e.g. the stone casket at [[Mortain|Notre Dame de Mortain]] church in France.<ref name=rich141 />

The widely reproduced image of ''[[Our Mother of Perpetual Help]]'', an icon of the [[Cretan school]], depicts Michael on the left carrying the lance and sponge of the [[crucifixion of Jesus]], with Gabriel on the right side of [[Madonna and Child|Mary and Jesus]].<ref>''Icons and saints of the Eastern Orthodox Church'' by Alfredo Tradigo 2006 {{ISBN|0-89236-845-4}} page 188</ref>

In many depictions Michael is represented as an angelic warrior, fully armed with helmet, sword, and shield.<ref name=Cathenc /> The shield may bear the Latin inscription ''[[Quis ut Deus]]'' or the Greek inscription ''Christos Dikaios Krites'' or its initials.<ref>Ann Ball, 2003 ''Encyclopedia of Catholic Devotions and Practices'' {{ISBN|0-87973-910-X}} page 520</ref> He may be standing over a serpent, a dragon, or the defeated figure of Satan, whom he sometimes pierces with a lance.<ref name=Cathenc /> The iconography of Michael slaying a serpent goes back to the early 4th century, when [[Emperor Constantine]] defeated [[Licinius]] at the [[Battle of Adrianople (324)|Battle of Adrianople]] in 324 AD, not far from the ''[[Michaelion]]'' a church dedicated to Archangel Michael.<ref name=Richard />

Constantine felt that Licinius was an agent of Satan, and associated him with the serpent described in the [[Book of Revelation]] ([[wikisource:Bible (American Standard)/Revelation#12:9|12:9]]).<ref>''Constantine and the Christian empire'' by Charles Matson Odahl 2004 {{ISBN|0-415-17485-6}} page 315</ref> After the victory, Constantine commissioned a depiction of himself and his sons slaying Licinius represented as a serpent - a symbolism borrowed from the Christian teachings on the Archangel to whom he attributed the victory. A similar painting, this time with the Archangel Michael himself slaying a serpent then became a major art piece at the Michaelion and eventually lead to the standard [[iconography]] of Archangel Michael as a [[warrior saint]].<ref name=Richard />

In other depictions Michael may be holding a pair of scales in which he weighs the souls of the departed and may hold the [[book of life]] (as in the [[Book of Revelation]]), to show that he takes part in the judgment.<ref name=rich141 /> However this form of depiction is less common than the slaying of the dragon.<ref name=rich141 >''Saint Michael the Archangel in medieval English legend'' by Richard Freeman Johnson 2005 {{ISBN|1-84383-128-7}} pages 141-147</ref> [[Michelangelo]] depicted this scene on the altar wall of the [[Sistine Chapel]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vaticanstate.va/EN/Monuments/The_Vatican_Museums/Sistine_Chapel--p--5.htm |title=Vatican website: Sistine Chapel |publisher=Vaticanstate.va |accessdate=2010-07-21 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100526031746/http://www.vaticanstate.va/EN/Monuments/The_Vatican_Museums/Sistine_Chapel--p--5.htm |archivedate=2010-05-26 }}</ref>

In [[Byzantine art]] Michael was often shown as a princely court dignitary, rather than a warrior who battled Satan or with scales for weighing souls on the [[Day of Judgement]].<ref>''Saints in art'' by Rosa Giorgi, Stefano Zuffi 2003 {{ISBN|0-89236-717-2}} pages 274-276</ref>

Michael is mentioned three times in the [[Book of Daniel]]. The idea that Michael was the advocate of the Jews became so prevalent that, in spite of the rabbinical prohibition against appealing to angels as intermediaries between [[God]] and his people, Michael came to occupy a certain place in the [[Jewish liturgy]]. In the [[New Testament]], Michael leads God's armies against [[Satan]]'s forces in the [[Book of Revelation]], where during the [[War in Heaven|war in heaven]] he defeats Satan. In the [[Epistle of Jude]], Michael is specifically referred to as "the archangel Michael". Sanctuaries to Michael were built by Christians in the 4th century, when he was first seen as a healing angel. Over time his role became one of a protector and the leader of the army of God against the forces of evil. ==Scriptural references== ===Hebrew Bible=== <!--THIS ARTICLE USED TO HAVE TOO MANY IMAGES AND THEY WERE CLEANED UP AND AN IMAGE GALLERY WAS CREATED.

Michael's enmity against Samael dates from the time when the latter was thrown down from heaven. Samael took hold of the wings of Michael, whom he wished to bring down with him in his fall; but Michael was saved by God.<ref>Midrash Pirke R.

Rabbah xi. 6</ref> [[File:Michael.svg|thumb|150px|Michael in [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]]]] The idea that Michael was the advocate of the Jews became so prevalent {{where|date=April 2019}} that in spite of the rabbinical prohibition against appealing to angels as intermediaries between God and his people, Michael came to occupy a certain place in the Jewish liturgy: "When a man is in need he must pray directly to God, and neither to Michael nor to [[Gabriel]]."<ref>Yer. Ber. ix. 13a</ref> Two prayers were written beseeching him as the prince of mercy to intercede in favor of Israel: one composed by Byzantine Jew [[Eliezer ben Kalir| Eliezer ha-Kalir]] (c. 570 – c. 640), and the other by [[Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg|Judah ben Samuel he-Hasid]] (1150 – 22 February 1217), a leader of the [[Chassidei Ashkenaz]] in [[Bavaria]]. But appeal to Michael seems to have been more common in ancient times {{where|date=April 2019}}{{when|date=April 2019}}. [[Jeremiah]] is said to have addressed a prayer to him.<ref>Baruch Apoc. Ethiopic, ix. 5</ref> The [[rabbi]]s declare that Michael entered upon his role of defender at the time of the biblical patriarchs. Rabbi Eliezer ben Jacob said that Michael rescued [[Abraham]] from the furnace into which he had been thrown by [[Nimrod]] (Midrash Genesis Rabbah xliv. 16). It is claimed that it was Michael, the "one that had escaped" (Genesis [[wikisource:Bible (American Standard)/Genesis#14:13|14:13]]), who told Abraham that Lot had been taken captive (Midrash Pirke R. El.), and who protected Sarah from being defiled by Abimelech. It is also said that Michael prevented [[Isaac]] from being sacrificed by his father by substituting a ram in his place. He saved [[Jacob]], while yet in his mother's womb, from being killed by Samael.<ref>Midrash Abkir, in Yalḳ., Gen. 110</ref> Later Michael prevented Laban from harming Jacob.(''[[Pirke De-Rabbi Eliezer]]'', xxxvi). The [[midrash]] ''Exodus Rabbah'' holds that Michael exercised his function of advocate of Israel at the time of [[The Exodus|the Exodus]] also. Satan (as an adversary) accused the Israelites of idolatry and said that they were consequently deserving of death by [[drowning]] in the [[Red Sea]]. Michael is also said to have destroyed the army of [[Sennacherib]].<ref>Midrash Exodus Rabbah xviii. 5</ref> ===Christianity=== <!--THIS ARTICLE USED TO HAVE TOO MANY IMAGES AND THEY WERE CLEANED UP AND AN IMAGE GALLERY WAS CREATED.

In his second role, Michael is the angel of death, [[psychopomp|carrying the souls]] of all the deceased to heaven. In this role Michael descends at the hour of death, and gives each soul the chance to redeem itself before passing; thus consternating the devil and his minions. Catholic prayers often refer to this role of Michael. In his third role, he weighs souls in his perfectly balanced scales. For this reason, Michael is often depicted holding scales.{{sfn|Starr|p=39}} In his fourth role, Saint Michael, the special patron of the Chosen People in the Old Testament, is also the guardian of the Church. Saint Michael was revered by the military orders of knights during the [[Middle Ages in history|Middle Ages]]. The names of villages around the [[Bay of Biscay]] express that history.
