Yasir Qadhi – The Branches of Faith – Episode 10 – Belief in Angels

			salatu salam, ala rasulillah who Allah Allah, He will be here woman. Voila, I'm about. So we were
doing the chapters regarding the pillars of Amazon. And we talked about demand in Allah subhana wa
Tada. The second pillar of Iman which is unanimously agreed upon is the pillar of Iman in the angels
of Allah subhana wa Tada. A believer is not a believer until he or she believes in the melodica. And
the concept of melodica is one that comes under what is called the elemental hype. The very first
verse in the Quran, Allah talks about a levena You mean una belhaj those who believe in the unseen,
so the minute it could the angels are a part of the world of the unseen, we cannot prove them
		

			scientifically. We cannot measure them. It is something that we must believe in and we are tested by
Allah subhana wa tada in disbelief. So all of the knowledge we have of the melodica it comes from
our sources, it comes from the Quran and the Sunnah. It is not something that we can derive merely
by thinking or contemplating, and from what we know. And of course, this is again, as usual, a
summarized lecture from what we know that our Prophet sallallahu I sent him has told us and is found
in the Koran, that the melodica are a separate species created by Allah subhanho wa Taala from light
our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that the mother acre had been created from nor and the
		

			jinn have been created from now, and mankind has been created from a mixture of clay, so no light is
the source of them at our acre, and now fire is the source of the jinn. And we have been created
from clay. And we also know from the Quran, the story of Adam, that the angels were created many,
many millennia before us, and when Allah azza wa jal announced that we would be created the angels
question Allah, which means that they had been here for many, many eons before. We also know that
the melodica generally speaking are more powerful than us and they can travel faster than us and
they have speciality is that we do not have and of those speciality is they worship a law constantly
		

			and they never get tired of those speciality is they do not eat, they do not drink, they do not need
to sleep, they do not procreate, they do not marry and have children, the same melodica that existed
at the creation of Adam and before those same melodica exists right now. The melodica do not
procreate and die and then another generation comes, this is unique for us and for the jinn as well.
Also, we know that generally speaking, the melodica are a very beautiful creation of Allah, they're
very handsome, only the Metallica they're in charge of punishment are terrifying. Otherwise, the
default in the melodica is that they are very handsome. And that is why when Jubilee would come to
		

			this world, and he would show himself as a human being, he would choose the shape of the most
handsome Sahabi. And his name was Dr. Al Kelby, the LLB was the most handsome amongst the Sahaba.
And whenever God would come, and he would walk the streets of Medina, and other Sahaba would see him
they would not see him except as the shape of Dahlia, he would take on the form of the most noble
and the most handsome of the Sahaba. Because the menarik are, generally speaking, are known to be
handsome and very light giving entities as well. Some of the Sahaba saw the angels in their original
forms, because the angels obviously they can take shape because they're created out of light. It is
		

			narrated that one Sahabi was reading the Koran at a time. And he saw what he called a chandelier of
lights, he saw a group of lights just come down and listen to him. And his animals became scared and
they began basically moving up and down. So he stopped reciting, and the Prophet sallallahu wasallam
said that was the melodica. They came close to listen to your recitation. So this also shows that
once in a while, a lot can bless a nonprofit to see an angel. But if a nonprofit sees an angel, he
doesn't become a prophet. It is only a specific type of angel Jupiter. Will comes with a specific
message that makes a human being a prophet. We also know that the greatest of the angels are
		

			magnificent and far beyond our imagination. Our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that he saw
you believe in his original form only twice and when he saw him he believed
		

			The entire horizons Juba deal was larger than everything on the horizons. And Allah says in the
Quran in surah najem Lakota Rahman iottie Rabi Hill Cobra, that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam saw of the biggest signs of Allah. And this has been interpreted to mean he saw gibreel in
his original form, so God is of the mighty assignee of Allah subhanho wa Taala. And in one Hadith,
our Prophet sallallahu I just sent him said, Allah has allowed me to tell you about those angels
that carry his throne Hamlet and Alisha is a category of angels between the lobe of that Angel, the
ear lobe, and the neck is the distance of 700 of your years, just between the neck and the ear of
		

			that angel is the distance of 700 years, which means that that Angel obviously is beyond our human
comprehension. And of course of the most important characteristics of the angels. They never disobey
Allah, they never disobey, they don't have the capacity to disobey. They are constantly in the laws
of obedience. And constantly in a laws worship, you step behind and Layla wonderhowto law you layer
two rune, they praise Allah night and day, and they never get tired. You said before una Laila, when
now they're saying Subhan, Allah Alhamdulillah they're doing the earth goddess, and they're
constantly praising, no eating, no drinking, no sleeping, never getting tired. That is how Allah
		

			subhanho wa Taala created them. And the melodica are not a species that are cut off from us. They
are involved in our lives, they are surrounding us, even though we do not see them. They are around
us at all times. And our job as Muslims is to try to get their presence because their presence is
mercy. They're coming, His mercy, their demeanor, His mercy, whenever they come, they bring Allah's
mercy with them. So there are a hadith that tell us that when we do certain things, the angels come
when we do certain things, the angels pray for us. When we do certain things, the angels lowered
their wings on us. So we're supposed to study those ahaadeeth we're supposed to implement those
		

			things, so that we can get the companionship of the angels. And of course, the greatest interaction
that angels have with mankind is the interaction that they have with the prophets of Allah unique
interaction. That is the interaction called why or inspiration. And we know that the greatest of
angels because not all angels are the same. The greatest of angels, which is God has been chosen by
Allah to be the primary angel that has come come to every single prophet from Adam to new to Ibrahim
to Moosa Teresa to our Prophet Mohammed sossaman. All the prophets in the middle that one Angel
consistently came down to teach and preach and to give Allah his way to the prophets and other
		

			angels interact with all of us. We know that there are angels that write down what we do kerama and
Khatibi and Ala Moana Mata followed rocky bonati they are angels that are around us, Muslim and non
Muslim, every human being is surrounded by angels that are recording but this is something most
Muslims don't know. righteous people are blessed with angels to protect them. righteous people are
blessed with angels to protect them. And righteous people are blessed with angels to counteract
those swathes of the shape on so when we come close to Allah, Allah subhana wa tada will send an
angel down and the purpose and the job of that angel is to counteract the whisperings of shavon we
		

			know from the tradition that when a human is born, shavon assigns 181 demon one one Jin one shavon
is assigned to this person, your job is to misguide this person, what we don't know is that in fact,
when we turn to Allah, Allah assigns an angel many of us don't know this is in the Hadith, Allah
assigns an angel to counteract the role of that shape on so in fact, we have two entities from the
other world, a demon or a general shaitan. And we have an angel as well and the both of them are
whispering the one whispers evil thoughts, the other whispers good thoughts and tries to counteract
and it is up to us what we act upon on the Day of Judgment, we can neither blame nor criticize the
		

			jinn or the angel, because all they did was whisper to us in the end, it is up to us to act neither
the jinn nor the angel can force It is we who decide to do but Allah azza wa jal reveals or sends
down I should say, an angel to try to help us against the shaitaan and in the end of the day, we
have that as we know freewill to decide what we want to do, as well we learn that the angels make do
out for the believers. Allah says in the Quran that the angels ask Allah to forgive the belief
		

			And in the Hadith we learn that there are specific good deeds that the angels ask Allah to bless
those people who do them. Again, this is not comprehensive, but some of them number one will mention
those who give charity of the Prophet system said every day two angels come down and they make a dua
to Allah over law. Anyone who gives charity give him more than what he gave, give him back more than
what he gave. And the other angel says, Oh, well, anybody who's stingy, deprived more than what he
was stingy with. So angels make dua to Allah to bless the one who gives money. Number two angels as
well. They ask Allah to bless those who are teaching Islam, those who are spreading Islam, and this
		

			doesn't just mean giving good buzz and doodles. If you're teaching your children Islam, if you're
teaching your children how to pray, if you teach your colleagues anything about Islam, the angels
will make dua for you. Number three, those who come to the massage especially in darkness, our
Prophet sallallahu Sallam said the angels make special to offer them so frequenting the massage.
Number four praying and soften Oh, well, that the Prophet sallallahu I did send them said that the
angels use our lunada soften Oh, well, they ask Allah, Allah, Allah blessings and forgiveness upon
the people who pray in the first row. Number five, those who eat suhoor our Prophet sallallahu
		

			Sallam said that the angels ask Allah to bless those who eat through so we must and we should wake
up for support and Allah azza wa jal, angels will be making dua for us that Allah makes our fast
easy that Allah blesses our fast so the angels make dua for those who make sure number six visiting
the sick, the angels ask Allah to bless those who visit the six. Number seven, when we make dua for
others, angels make dua for us. So every time we raised our hands for our Muslim brother or sister,
and this is one of the easiest ways yet we are still so stingy brothers and sisters, one of the
easiest ways to get our daughter responded to is that we make dollars sincerely for other people,
		

			you want money, raise your hands up and say, Oh Allah, so and so is struggling with money, blessed
him with wealth, blessed him with halaal Well, guess what an angel will say, mean? And Oh Allah, may
you also be given what you may do out for your sick, you want to be cured. Make dua for your fellow
Muslims who are sick sincerely, the more sincere you are for them, the more sincere the angel will
be for you. So you want something done, make dua for other people that it is done to them, and then
the angel will make the art for you. So what a beautiful world we would live in, if we really wanted
good for other people, we will get that same good ourselves. So the angels make up for the one who
		

			makes drop for his brother and sister. And number eight, I think I'm on the saying the fact you have
the Prophet sallallahu I've said them said that whoever says mean, and the angels are mean is the
same time as his I mean, after the fact that all of his sins will be forgiven. So when the Imam says
the fact you have the angels that are around and listening, they all say I mean, and we are supposed
to also say I mean, so we're supposed to coincide with that mean? And number nine, the angels ask a
loss, forgiveness for any gathering that has gathered for the sake of knowledge and victory and sila
and they surround that gathering as our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said that they stopped
		

			flying around, and they come and they, they surround that gathering, they flap their wings around
that gathering so that Allah Sakina comes and they surround that gathering so that Allah, Allah can
be concentrated. So we pray that Allah azza wa jal makes our gatherings every night, a gathering
that angels come to so the final point, brothers and sisters is that what is the purpose of all of
this to believe in the angels? The purpose is that a number of things, again, much can be said, time
is limited. Some of the things that really strikes me about a man and the angels, the angels are so
perfect, so holy, so amazing. And what are the things that moves me the most? Can you imagine how
		

			long they have been worshipping Allah without committing a single sin for millennia, since before
Adam until Judgment Day, how long that will be It is beyond our human comprehension. And yet we
learn in the Hadith, that when they hear the trumpet blown, and it is the same Angel, it's not the
angels great, great, great, great grandson, the same angel that has been worshipping alone non stop
for millennia, millions, billions of years beyond even a timeframe when they shall taste death for
their one and only time because even the angel shall die. When the trumpet is blown the first time
then there'll be resurrected when the Trumpet is blown. The second half of that interim as we know,
		

			everything dies other than
		

			that interim. Even the angels die when the angels taste death. What will they say the
		

			last phrase that will come from their mouths is a phrase that should shock all of us are abana ma
ibutton aka hakkari baddeck Subhana carrapateena ma ba na kahakai Bertie, how Blessed are you, Oh
Allah, we have not worshipped you the way you are deserving to be worshipped. This is what the
angels say, after what they have done. How about me and you? How can we possibly compare? And yet
one of the most amazing things, brothers and sisters, one would think, how can we possibly compete
with the angels, yet the righteous of the children of Adam, are more blessed in the eyes of Allah
than the angels? How do we know this? The story of the creation? When Allah created Adam, what did
		

			he say to the angels? Bow down in respect Subhana Allah, how bless it is our Lord, who has made us
if we are righteous, higher than even the angels, how Blessed are we to have such a lord? How
fortunate are we to have such a Lord, he has raised our ranks, even above that of the angels, but
with that one condition, and that is that we are of the solid in we are of the righteous, the
righteous of the children of Adam, on a higher level than even the angels. And that is why in
general, the angels will come and say to us, salaam en la combi Masato for near Morocco but doubt
the angels will congratulate us that when we enter agenda, and they will say peace be unto you
		

			because of what you have done because of the patients you have had. And the final point brothers and
sisters related to our month that we are in Djibouti alayhis salaam, and what will make us
understand who is Jubilee in this mighty angel, this angel that has seen every single prophet and
communicated directly with every prophet that has done what only Allah knows he was there throughout
all of human history. And before this mighty angel, the mightiest of all angels, God, whom the
Prophet system himself asked, oh god, why don't you visit me more often? He wanted gibreel to come,
he wanted you to come and he said to Julian, why don't you visit me more often? And Allah revealed a
		

			verse that we recite To this day, one mana tena zero Illa b m, the Arabic we're only allowed to come
in for love gives us permission, I can't just come and visit you for socialization, Allah has to
send me then I will come he wanted to see gibreel more and more and more this mighty angel gibreel
no longer comes to this earth. That is it. It is gone. It Oh man. Amen. The foster mother of the
Prophet system. When obachan Omar visited her after the death of the processing, she began to cry.
And they said Why are you crying, she said, I am crying because Allah zwei has been cut permanently
until Judgment Day, no more ye of Allah will come is the end of the story with the death of the
		

			Prophet system. Yet on one day of the year, this mighty angel comes down to this earth one night of
the year, God Himself comes down as a lot as though it just says in the Quran, that all men are
equal to war roofie the mighty spirit of gibreel comes on later to other and that is why some of
those who haven't had their own when it was the last 10 nights they would stand up in prayer and put
on their best clothes and put on perfume when they would be asked why they would say should we not
prepare for the night that God Himself is coming down. So God is coming down on these night later
the other literally 10 days from now that is the cycle when it begins should we not be excited? We
		

			are getting one of the mightiest creations of a lot to visit us. One of the ayah Tierra del cobre is
coming to our lands is coming to this world should we not be excited so much so Allah makes it a
sign of Judgment Day. Allah mentions it and tells us well America to a roofie gibreel himself is
coming down should we not be excited at the advent of this noble guest of Allah, the one whom even
Rasulullah saw someone to come to us more often and jabeen himself wanted it but he said I can only
come when Allah sends me down. Well guess what? Allah will send him down in just a few nights. Let
us be excited for that night. Let us make sure we're praying to Allah and that night, let us make
		

			sure we're into our insula. Because what if you really were to pray for us? What if we're happening
to be praying and God and makes do out for us? Where do you think our macom will rise? So make sure
we're standing on those 10 nights and make sure that we are praying to Allah on the night that
gibreel visits us inshallah, we'll continue our talks tomorrow, set on y de como. rahmatullah wa
barakato.
