Riá¸ÂwÃÂn (or Rñzvan , ), is an angel in Islam, who guards the gates of the garden. The name Riá¸ÂwÃÂn likely derives from a late personifying exegetical reading of the common QuranâÂÂic term âÂÂriá¸ÂwÃÂnâ meaning âÂÂfavor/goodwillâÂÂ; which is used when speaking about the garden in QurâÂÂan 3:15 âÂÂriá¸ÂwÃÂnun minna Allahâ meaning âÂÂfavor from GodâÂÂ. The first extant mentions of his name being that of the angel still named IsmÃÂÿël by Ibn Hisham are found in 10th-century reports. From thereon this name has been a common feature of stories, reports, and exegesis particularly Mi'raj narrations. Ridwan also plays an important role as the guardian of heaven in the Qisas Al-Anbiya, here he must prevent Iblis from entering the keep of Adam, but was tricked by a serpent, who concealed Iblis in his mouth, carrying him past the guardian.
