Assalamualaikum
INDEED NON IS WORTHY OF
WORSHIP EXCEPT HE (ALLAH) ALONE
we ask blessing upon the
last prophet, hiscompanions, his household and the muminoon who follows his
legacy till the day of Qiyama.
May ALLAH place us among
the muminoon and those who follow the commandments of Allah and His prophets
Itis not devotion to turn
your face towards the east or west to offer prayers but rather true devotion
is a muminoon believes in ALLAH,,THE LAST DAY,,THE ANGELS,,THE BOOKS AND HIS
MESSENGERS
reff:: surah al
baqarah(2) verse 177
The messenger believes
what was sent down to him from his Lord and so do the believers.
Each one of them believes
in ALLAH &HIS MESSENGERS,,THE ANGELS & HIS BOOKS
ref: surah al baqarah(2)
verse 285
In the blessed verses
above,The noble Quran guides us to the faith in the angels which is a basic
tenet of Eeman as known from the lengthy hadiths of JIBREELin which He asked
Allah's messenger to define Eeman.
Allah's messenger replied that It(Eeman) is the believe in
Allah, Hisangels, Hismessengers, Hisbooks, The last day and to believe in *AL QADAR
(THE GOOD & BAD)
AFFIRMING THE EXISTENCE
OF THE ANGELS
They(angels) are creation
of Allah and thus are subjects to His Lordship and Worship.
Sheikh Al -Fawzan writes
in his treaties
(
aleemanbilmalaaikawaathruhu fi HayatiUmmah)..Angels are a creation of Allah
which He created for His worship and to carry out His commands in the
universe ANGELS are creation from
the world of the unseen,we do not see them but we believe in thier existence
with certainty without doubts because *Allah has informed us about them
(angels) and likewise.
His messengers also have
enlightened us about them with definite information that causes us to believe
in them
Believe in the Angels
precedes belief in the Books to His messengers because Allah revealed the Books
to His messengers by means of Angels
DENIEL OF THE EXISTENCE
OF ANGELS LEADS TO REJECTION OF ALL THE DEVINE BOOKS AND
CONSEQUENTLY,EVERYTHING THAT THE MESSENGERS WERE SENT WITH
Also choosing some angels
to believe in over others is disbelief like choosing some prophets over others
.
IMAM IBN KHATHEER writes in the Tafseer of the verse in surah
al baqarah (2) :97
"" whoever
believes in one messenger is required to believe in all the messengers and
whoever rejects one messenger,he has rejected all messengers""
Similarly Allah said
.verily those who disbelieve in Allah and His messengers and wish to make
distinction between Allah and His messengers saying we believe in some but
reject others and wish to adopt a way in between.they are in truth
disbelieving
Allah decreed that they
are disbelievers because they believe in some prophets and rejects
others...Allah's messengers includes Angels and men because Allah said it in
another verse that ALLAH CHOOSES MESSENGERS FROM ANGELS AND MEN.
REF: SURAH HAJJ (22):75
CREATION OF THE ANGELS
ANGELS are creation of
Allah and were created from light. In sahihmuslim it was narrated by
A'ISHA(radhiallahuanhaa)
that the messenger of Allah said *angels are created from light ,,,jinns are
created from smokeless flames of fire and Adam was created from that which has
been described to you
THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH
DID NOT EXPLAIN THE EXACT LIGHT WHICH THE ANGELS WERE CREATED FROM HENCE WE
CANNOT BRING INTO OUR DISCUSSION
IT IS A MATTER OF THE
UNSEEN AND NO FURTHER CLARIFICATION HAS BEEN MADE ON IT TILL DATE
NO MAN KNOWS THE EXACT
TIME THE ANGELS WERE CREATED AND ALLAH HAS NOT INFORMED US ABOUT IT BUT WHEN WE
TAKE THE STORY OF ADAM (AS) INTO CONSIDERATION THEN WE CAN DEDUCE THAT ANGELS
WERE CREATED LONG BEFORE MANKIND
the Lord said to the
angels that I (Allah) am placing a khalifa *ie*: mankind on earth (ref:surah al
baqarah (2): 30..
So we see from this point
that Allah informed the Angels about his intention to create mankind that tells
us that the Angels existed before mankind
SEEING THE ANGELS
Because the Angels are
created from light and are of low density, mankind cannot see them especially
since Allah has not given our eyes the ability to see them
NB
No man among this ummah
has seen an Angel before except the messenger of Allah (prophet Mohamed) SAW
How blessed he was to see
an Angel HE SAW JIBREEL TWICE IN THE
FORM WHICH ALLAH CREATED HIM
THIS TELLS US THAT WHEN
ANGELS APPEARS IN HUMAN FORM WE ARE ABLE TO SEE THEM
ABILITY TO TAKE ON
DIFFERENT FORMS
Allah has bestowed on the
Angels the ability to take on different forms.
He sent Jibreel to MARYAM
(19:16-19)
IBRAHEEM(11:69)
*LOT(11:77) in human form
JIBREEL used to come to
the messenger of Allah several times and sometime he came in the form of a
Bedouin and sometimes a Dihyah
It was reported that
A'ISHA (radhiallahuanha ) saw the prophet placing his hand on the mane of
Dihyah al kalbee's horse and was taking to him.
When she asked about it
he replied it was JIBREEL and he sends greetings to her
I wish i never finish
talking about the Angels for the rest of my entire life because their stories are very interesting
I will hold on here and
continue in sha Allah in my next presentation from
NUMBER OF THE ANGELS
INDEED NON IS WORTHY OF
WORSHIP EXCEPT HE *(ALLAH)*ALONE
we ask blessing upon the
last prophet,hiscompanions,his household and the muminoon who follows his
legacy till the day of Qiyama.
may ALLAH place us among
the muminoon and those who follow the commandments of Allah and His prophets.
ASSALAMU ALAIKUM
