Personal life

Abu Azrael is a Shi'a Muslim who is a former university lecturer and a one-time Taekwondo champion.[4] According to an Iranian source,[5] reports from March 2015 claimed that Azrael is a father of five, and lives an "ordinary life" when not on the battlefield.[6]

Following incidents where he was filmed desecrating the corpses of IS fighters,[7] Azrael stated that he had been told by a senior imam in Najaf that he should pray for penance and "never do such a thing again."[8]

In October 2019, he was severely beaten unconscious by protesting Iraqis in Baghdad's Tahrir Square.[9]

In 2020, he was infected with COVID-19 and suffered lung damage.[10]

Public image

Abu Azrael fought against ISIS, although he has also fought against other[which?] militant groups. By the spring of 2015, he had made front-page appearances on international news websites in England, France and the United States.[11]

He has received a medal of honor from the Representative of the Supreme Religious Authority Sayyid Ahmad al-Safi.[12]

In 2016, he was spotted on the battlefield in the Battle of Mosul.[13]

During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, Abu Azrael claimed to have been near the Israel-Lebanon border, waiting for "any opportunity" to enter Israel.[14]
