Mufti Menk – Can You Name Some Of The Greatest Creations

00:00:00 --> 00:00:01

You know the names of some of the

00:00:01 --> 00:00:02

angels?

00:00:03 --> 00:00:03

Let's see.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

The greatest of all angels. Who? What's his

00:00:06 --> 00:00:06

name?

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

Jibrael.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

Name me another angel.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

Mikael.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

Name me another angel.

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

It's Raffil. Name me another angel.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

Azrael. Name me another angel.

00:00:23 --> 00:00:26

Well my father named me Ishmael as well.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:26

Masha'Allah.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

That was a joke earlier where

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

they say, oh

00:00:32 --> 00:00:34

what is the common factor between this man

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

and the angels? Anyone whose name is Ismael.

00:00:37 --> 00:00:37

Okay.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

It's the eel at the end. Masha Allah.

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

They all all angels have an eel. Eel.

00:00:42 --> 00:00:43

Right?

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

Obviously, don't take that too serious. No. It's

00:00:47 --> 00:00:49

not from Quran sunnah. It's not from Quran

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

sunnah. It's just to make yourself feel good.

00:00:51 --> 00:00:52

Yeah. Angel.

00:00:55 --> 00:00:57

Allah bless, mashaAllah. I have a friend in

00:00:57 --> 00:00:59

South Africa called Ismael and we always laugh

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

about it because he was the first guy

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

who told it to me. He says, you

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

know what? My father says you're an angel.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

You know? Say how come? Says that's why

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

the eel is at the end. Masha'Allah.

00:01:09 --> 00:01:11

I know some Ismaels who are rascals. Allah

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

forgive us.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:17

So Allah chooses from among the angels whom

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20

he wants to be messengers to carry the

00:01:20 --> 00:01:20

message.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

And Allah is the one who chooses. It's

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

up to him. He can do what he

00:01:24 --> 00:01:26

wants. He chose and that's it. Similarly

00:01:26 --> 00:01:28

he says, even from the people we have

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

chosen. So Allah says,

00:01:34 --> 00:01:37

The most or the greatest from among the

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39

messengers are those known as ululazm.

00:01:40 --> 00:01:41

Those who were

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

dedicated, they were all. But those who were

00:01:44 --> 00:01:46

even more, they spent time, they had great

00:01:46 --> 00:01:49

effort, they had a great mark that they

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

left. Look at the Quran, filled with the

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

story of Musa alaihis salam, Moses. May peace

00:01:53 --> 00:01:54

be upon him.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:57

The story of Ibrahim alaihis salam, his sacrifice.

00:01:58 --> 00:02:00

Abu Lambia. He was the father of the

00:02:00 --> 00:02:01

prophets who came after him.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:03

Ishmael,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:05

Ishaq, and so on.

00:02:06 --> 00:02:08

So who are these 5? Anyone can name

00:02:08 --> 00:02:09

them?

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12

1st Nabi Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:14

Nuh,

00:02:14 --> 00:02:16

may peace be upon him.

00:02:17 --> 00:02:19

Ibrahim, may peace be upon him.

00:02:20 --> 00:02:22

Musa, may peace be upon him.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:25

Isa, Jesus, may peace be upon him. These

00:02:25 --> 00:02:26

are the highest of the lot.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:29

Those 5 are the highest. They are in

00:02:29 --> 00:02:32

a companionship of their own. They are in

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

a circle of their own.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56

Allah Almighty makes mention of these names in

00:02:56 --> 00:02:57

surahul Ahazab

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

and Allah says them one after the other.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:01

They these are the

00:03:02 --> 00:03:04

These are the 5. These are the ones

00:03:04 --> 00:03:06

they have been through perhaps

00:03:08 --> 00:03:11

something that required greater determination

00:03:12 --> 00:03:12

than others.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:15

Not to say the others were not determined.

00:03:15 --> 00:03:16

They were.
