Metatron information

Islamic portrayal of the angel Metatron (Arabic: ميططرون) depicted in the *Daqa'iq al-Haqa'iq* (دقائق الحقایق 'Degrees of Truths') by Nasir ad-Din Rammal in the 14th century CE.

Metatron (Mishnaic Hebrew: מֶטָטְרוֹן‎ Meṭāṭrōn),^[1]^[a]^[b]^[5]^[6] or Matatron (מַטַּטְרוֹן‎, Maṭṭaṭrōn),^[7]^[8] is an angel in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam mentioned three times in the Talmud, in a few brief passages in the Aggadah, and in mystical Kabbalistic texts within Rabbinic literature. The figure forms one of the traces for the presence of dualist proclivities in the otherwise monotheistic visions of both the Tanakh and later Christian doctrine.^[9] In the Jewish kabbalistic tradition, he is sometimes portrayed as serving as the celestial scribe. The name Metatron is not mentioned in the Torah or the Bible, and how the name originated is a matter of debate. In Islamic tradition, he is also known as Mīṭaṭrūn (Arabic: ميططرون), the angel of the veil.^[10]^[11]^: 192

In Jewish apocrypha and early Kabbalah, 'Metatron' is the name that Enoch received after his transformation into an angel.
