So from Shaddaad ibn Aws from the Prophet that he said, “The noblest and most excellent manner of seeking forgiveness is that the servant says: ‘O Allaah, You are my Lord. None has the right to be worshiped except You. You created me, and I am Your slave/worshiper. And I am faithful to my covenant and my promise as far as I am able. I seek Your refuge from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge before You all the favors
that You have bestowed upon me. And I confess all my sins to You. So forgive me, since none can forgive sins except You.’
The Prophet said, “Whoever says it in the day, with firm conviction in it, and dies in that day before evening – then he is from the people of Paradise. Whoever says it in the night, with firm conviction in it, and he dies before the Morning – then he is from the people of Paradise.” #islam #seekingforgiveness #learnaboutislam

The document discusses the rules around praying while sitting due to inability to stand or other difficulties. Some key points:
- Standing, bowing, and prostrating are essential parts of obligatory (fard) prayers, so if one is able to do so they must pray standing.
- If unable to stand due to sickness or old age, one may pray sitting on the ground or chair. Sitting is permissible for optional (nafl) prayers even if able to stand, but the reward is half of praying standing.
- A minor discomfort is not enough reason to pray sitting for obligatory prayers - the difficulty must be to the extent of causing harm.

The document provides Quranic evidence to support each principle.
The document discusses why prayer is important for Muslims. It explains that prayer helps humans recognize their weakness before Allah and show gratitude for Allah's blessings. It describes how the Prophet Muhammad was first instructed to pray by the angel Gabriel. Prayer allows believers to spiritually ascend and communicate with Allah five times daily.

This book deals with fiqh issues specific to women regarding menstruation, post partum (Nifaas), and abnormal bleeding (Istihadah).Shaykh Uthaymeen brings proofs from the Quran and Sunnah. Widely Referenced book for Women.
All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, seek His help and forgiveness. We return to Him alone in repentance, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evil of ourselves and from our wrong deeds. Whosoever Allah guides there is none who can misguide, and whosoever Allah misguides there is none who can guide. I bear witness that there is no god worthy of being worshipped except Allah Who is free from any partners or associates. I bear witness that Muhammad is the true slave and messenger of Allah (SW1), may the Salah2 of Allah be upon him.
It is common that there are three types of menses among women:

b) in referring to these sources one achieves a state of peace, comfort and relaxation as well as relief for having the requirements of worship (in this case purification from menses) made known.
c) any other reference lacks the quality of perfection of the proofs of the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) His Life and Times By Ali Muhammad Sallaabee.
---
The second caliph of Islam, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattâb faced more struggles than any other Muslim leader in the early onset of Islam. His life began in a time of ignorance and ended during the Golden Age of Islam. Under his leadership, the Muslim world was witnessing some of its most notable conquests in the history of Islam. The strength and resilience of Islam’s leaders were being tested, and ‘Umar ibn al-Khattâb’s true commitment to Allah shone to reveal an Islamic spirit unlike that found in any other Muslim leader. The standards by which he lived can teach us a lot about determination, hardship, and success.
This book was translated into English by Nasiruddin al-Khattab. From the Translator:
For those who would be leaders, this book offers the model of an ideal Muslim leader, one who felt responsible before Allah for the well being of all those under his rule, including his troops, women, infants, non-Muslim subjects and even animals. ‘Umar was a 'hands on' leader who kept himself informed and consulted scholars and experts before every major decision.
For the rest of us, this book offers a window into an exciting and important period of Islamic history, and it also reminds of an important lesson, that our strength comes not from wealth or money or status, but from our submission to Allah and our commitment to the path of Islam.

1) The oneness of God (tawhid) and that everything other than God was created by Him.
2) Knowledge of God comes through observing His signs in creation like day and night and the heavens.
3) Islam is the final and complete religion, as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the Quran.
4) Faith (iman) requires belief in God, the angels, books, messengers, and the afterlife.
The issue of the deeds of the hearts is an immensely important subject, and this is why many scholars have written countless books on the subject - in order to remind and encourage people to perform them. These deeds require sacrifice and exertion because one's salvation is dependant on them; moreover, the deeds of the limbs will not be performed if these of the heart are absent. Reliance upon Allaah is something that has an immense impact on a person; it is an implication of belief and is one of the finest deeds and acts of worship by which the slave can draw close to Allaah, the All-Merciful; It is one of the highest ranks of Islaamic monotheism because nothing can occur except through one relying and depending upon Allaah for it to do so.
This document discusses the six articles of faith that constitute the authentic creed of Islam: belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Day of Judgment, and divine destiny.

The most important matter for every Muslim is the correctness of his beliefs. Islam established on the basis of sound creed and it opposes all false superstitions and erroneous systems of belief. Thus, it is essential for every Muslim to make certain that his beliefs are correct and in accordance with the Quran and authentic Sunnah of the
Prophet (S). This small but important book covers all basic information and we hope that readers will recognize the importance of this treaties by Shaikh Ibn Baz.

This document discusses the conflict between Islam and secularism. It argues that secularism is a contemporary manifestation of jahiliyyah (ignorance) and is fundamentally at odds with Islamic monotheism. Secularism restricts Islam to the mosque and seeks to govern society without Islamic law, which constitutes polytheism. The document outlines how secularism entered Muslim lands through the influence of hypocritical secularists, using Turkey as an example. It concludes that secularism has no place in Muslim societies due to Islam's all-encompassing nature and the historical compatibility of Islam with science.
نور الاقتباس في مشكاة وصية النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لابن عباس
(ابن رجب الحنبلي)
Nurul Iqtibas fi Mishkat Wasiyyah Al-Nabi li Ibn 'Abbas
Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) Advice to Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه)
-------
The spiritual and wordly life of a Muslim is focused on Allah. Success in both entails knowing Allah, loving Him, trusting Him and worshipping Him alone. It requires the Muslim to learn his religion, discipline his soul and refine his conduct. The Muslim must have firm faith that everything that happens to him in this life is good for him, that his Lord would never decree anything that would be detrimental and, as such, he is required to be patient and steadfast in the face of adversity and grateful at times of ease.
In this treatise, the author, ibn Rajab sets out to explain the advice the Prophet (SAW) imparted to ibn Abbas (radiyAllahu’anhuma), ‘Safeguard Allah and He will safeguard you. Safeguard Allah and you will find Him in front of you. Know Allah in times of ease and He will know you in times of hardship. When you ask, ask Allah. When you seek aid, turn to Allah. The Pen has dried (after having written) all that will occur…’
It would not be an exaggeration to say that if a Muslim was to understand this hadith and follow it closely, he would be well on his way to fulfilling the goals highlighted above. It is for this reason that ibn al-Jawzi said, ‘I pondered this hadith and it struck me with awe; I was so astounded that I almost became light headed… The prevailing ignorance of this hadith and the lack of understanding thereof is truly distressing!’.
‘Abdu’l-Qadir al-Jilani said, ‘Every believer should make this hadith a mirror to his heart, his axiom, his shelter and his topic of conversation. He should act by it in all times of motion and stillness so that he can be saved in this world and in the Hereafter.’
Imam ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (d.795H) was a scholar praised extensively for his vast knowledge, ascetism and expertise in the Hanbali school of thought as well as in hadith and its related sciences. His writings, gatherings and sermons were full of blessings and he was loved by all. He has written numerous monographs explaining individual hadiths of which this one, a series of which is currently being published by Daar us-Sunnah Publishers.
The translator has added appendices which comprise further explanations to the hadith by Mulla Ali al-Qari, ibn ‘Allan, and ibn ‘Uthaymin
The document discusses downloading the Tajwidi Quran. It provides a resource for obtaining a digital copy of the Quran with Tajweed rules included to help with proper recitation. The document likely contains a link or instructions for accessing the Tajwidi Quran in an electronic format.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

1. Belief in the Angels
and Its Effect on
the Life of the Ummah
By Shaikh Saalih bin Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan
(Member of the Permanent Committee for Research and Verdicts &
Member of the Council of Senior Scholars)
Translation: isma’eel alarcon
3. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
[The Treatise]
Introduction:
All praise is for Allaah, Lord of all that exists, and may the peace and blessings be upon
our prophet, Muhammad, as well as upon his family and all of his Companions. To
proceed:
Indeed, Eemaan (Faith) is a great matter, since it is the foundation upon which success
in this life and the next rests on. So it is one of the most important levels of the Religion,
for when the angel, Jibreel, came to the Prophet in the presence of his Companions,
he asked him about Islaam, Eemaan, and Ihsaan, saying: “O Muhammad! Inform me
about Islaam.” The Prophet replied: “Islaam is to testify that there is no deity that
has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allaah; to establish the prayer; to give the Zakaat; to fast in
Ramadaan; and to perform the Hajj to the House (Ka’bah) if you are able to.”
So he explained Islaam as being the implementation of these five pillars: (!) The two
testimonies of Faith; (2) Establishing the Prayer; (3) Giving the Zakaat; (4) Fasting in
Ramadaan; (5) Pilgrimage to the Ka’bah. So the angel Jibreel told him: “You have
spoken the truth. Now inform me about Eemaan.” The Prophet said: “It is to believe
in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in
Al-Qadar – the good of it and the bad of it.” So he explained that Eemaan was to
believe in these six things: Belief in Allaah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the
Last Day and Al-Qadar – the good of it and the bad of it.
Jibreel continued: “Inform me about Ihsaan.” So the Prophet responded: “Ihsaan is
to worship Allaah as if you see Him. But if you don’t see Him, then verily, He sees
you.” So he clarified that Ihsaan consists of one pillar, which is to worship Allaah as if
you see Him. But even though you don’t see Him, verily, He sees you.
These are the three levels of the Religion: Islaam, then Eemaan, then Ihsaan. Each one
of these levels has its own set of pillars.
A pillar is the part upon which something stands on, so (for example) the pillar of a
house refers to the part upon which that house is established. So Eemaan (Faith) rests
upon six of these pillars. If one of these pillars is missing, a person is no longer a
believer, possessing Faith, since he lacks one of the pillars of Eemaan.
Therefore, Eemaan cannot be established except upon its pillars, just like a building
cannot be established except upon its pillars. These six pillars (of Eemaan) are
mentioned in the noble Qur’aan. Sometimes they are mentioned altogether and other
times they are mentioned separately, as Allaah says:

“But rather piety (birr) is he who believes in Allaah, the Last Day, the Angels, the
Book and the Prophets.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 177] Allaah mentions five of the pillars of
Eemaan in this ayah.
And He says:

“The Messenger (Muhammad) believes in what was revealed to him from his Lord
and (so do) the believers – all of them believe in Allaah, His Angels, His Books,
and His Messengers. We do not differentiate between any of His Messengers.”
[Surah Al-Baqarah: 285]
He mentions four of these pillars here. And sometimes, He just mentions two of these
pillars: Belief in Allaah and the Last Day, as He says:
إن اﻟ ِﻳﻦ ﺁﻣ ُﻮا َاﻟ ِﻳﻦ َﺎ ُوا َاﻟﻨ َﺎ َى َاﻟ ﱠﺎﺑ ِﻴﻦ ﻣﻦ ﺁﻣﻦ ِﺎﻟﻠﻪ َاﻟﻴﻮم اﻵﺧﺮ

“Verily, those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians and Sabians –
whoever believes in Allaah and the Last Day.” [Surah Al-Baqarah: 62] He mentions
two pillars in this ayah: Belief in Allaah and the last Day.
As for belief in Al-Qadar (Divine Pre-Decree), then that is mentioned in His statement:
إ ﱠﺎ آ ﱠ ﺷﻲء ﺧﻠﻘ َﺎﻩ ﺑﻘﺪر
ٍ َ َ ِ ُ ِﻧ ُﻞ َ ْ ٍ ََ ْﻨ
“Verily, We created everything with Qadar (Divine Pre-Decree).” [Surah Al-Qamar:

And in His saying:

َ ََ َ ُﻞ َ ْ ٍ َ َ ﱠ َ ُ َ ْﺪ ﺮ
“He created everything, and assigned its Decree to it.” [Surah Al-Furqaan: 2]

5. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
The Meaning of Belief in the Angels:
The subject, which we are focusing on now, is the Belief in the Angels, which is one of
the pillars of Eemaan. What Belief in the Angels entails is: Believing in their existence
and believing in the duties that they carry out in the universe.
So the angels are one of Allaah’s creations, which He created for the purpose of
worshipping Him and carrying out His orders in the universe. Allaah sends His angels in
order to execute His Commands. So they are a creation from the world of the Unseen.
We don’t see them, yet we believe in them with a firm resolution that doubt cannot
penetrate. This is since Allaah has informed us about them, and likewise, His
Messenger has informed us about them in such a definitive manner that causes us to
believe in them.
What were the Angels created From?
The Angels were created from light, as is reported in a hadeeth that Allaah created the
angels from light and He created the devils from fire and He created the humans from
dirt. So the angels were created from light.
The Attributes of the Angels:
The angels are one of Allaah’s creations from the world of the Unseen. No one knows
how many in number they are, their manner of being or their natures except for Allaah.
From their Attributes:
First: They are the greatest of Allaah’s armies. Allaah says:
وﻟﻠﻪ ﺟ ُﻮد اﻟﺴ َﺎ َات َاﻟﺄرض و َﺎن اﻟﻠﻪ ﻋِﻴ ًﺎ ﺣ ِﻴ ًﺎ
َِﱠ ِ ُﻨ ُ ﱠﻤ و ِ و َْ ْ ِ َآ َ ﱠ ُ َﻠ ﻤ َﻜ ﻤ
“And to Allaah belongs the armies of the heavens and the earth.” [Surah Al-Fat’h:
4] And whilst talking about the guardians of the Hellfire, He mentioned:
ﻋﻠﻴ َﺎ ﺗﺴﻌﺔ ﻋﺸﺮ
َ َ َ َ َ ْ ِ ََ ْﻬ
“Over it are nineteen (angels).” [Surah Al-Mudaththir: 30]
And He says: “And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Hellfire, and
We have not made their number (i.e. 19) except as a trial for those who
disbelieve.” [Surah Al-Mudaththir: 31]
So this means that there are nineteen angels guarding the Hellfire – they maintain it,
guard it, kindle it and are entrusted with its affairs.
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 5 www.al-ibaanah.com
6. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
When one of the disbelievers heard of the number of angels that are guarding the
Hellfire, he said, as if to mock their amount: “I will suffice you over them” – meaning if he
enters the Hellfire, he will confront them, overpower them and get out of the Hellfire. He
said this in order to mock and ridicule, so Allaah refuted them by saying:
و َﺎ ﺟﻌﻠ َﺎأﺻ َﺎب اﻟ ﱠﺎر إﱠﺎ ﻣَﺎﺋﻜﺔ
ً َ ِ َﻣ َ َ ْﻨ َ ْﺤ َ ﻨ ِ ِﻟ َﻠ
“And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Hellfire.” [Surah Al-
Mudaththir: 31] This means they will not be from among the humans.
So if this person claims that he is strong and that he is able to fight against a number of
humans, he will not be able to fight against even one of the angels. Allaah says: “And
We have set none but angels as guardians of the Hellfire.” [Surah Al-Mudaththir:
31] This means: “We did not make them humans or jinn.”
و َﺎ ﺟﻌﻠ َﺎأﺻ َﺎب اﻟ ﱠﺎر إﱠﺎ ﻣَﺎﺋﻜﺔ و َﺎ ﺟﻌﻠ َﺎ ﻋﺪﺗﻬﻢ إﱠﺎﻓﺘﻨﺔ ﻟﻠ ِﻳﻦ آﻔ ُوا ﻟﻴﺴﺘﻴﻘﻦ اﻟ ِﻳﻦ

اﻟ ِﻳﻦ ِﻲ ﻗُﻮﺑ ِﻢ ﻣﺮﺿ َاﻟ َﺎﻓ ُون َﺎ َا أ َاد اﻟﻠﻪ ﺑﻬ َا ﻣﺜًﺎ
ﱠﺬ َ ﻓ ُﻠ ِﻬ ﱠ َ ٌﻮ ْﻜ ِﺮ َ ﻣ ذ َر َ ﱠ ُ ِ َﺬ َ َﻠ
“And We have not made their number (i.e. 19) except as a trial for those who
disbelieve, in order that the people of the Scripture may arrive at a certainty and
the believers may increase in Faith, and so that no doubts may be left for the
people of the Scripture and the believers, and so that those in whose hearts is a
disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: ‘What did Allaah intend by
this example?’” [Surah Al-Mudaththir: 31]
So they lie and seek to belittle this number. How can this great Hellfire, which contains
all of these creatures, only be maintained by nineteen? Allaah says:
و َﺎ ﺟﻌﻠ َﺎ ﻋﺪﺗﻬﻢ إﱠﺎﻓﺘﻨﺔ ﻟﻠ ِﻳﻦ آﻔ ُوا
َﻣ َ َ ْﻨ ِ ﱠ َ ُ ْ ِﻟ ِ ْ َ ً ﱢﱠﺬ َ َ َﺮ
“And We have not made their number (i.e. 19) except as a trial for those who
disbelieve.” [Surah Al-Mudaththir: 31]
So no one knows the greatness of the angels and no one knows what Allaah has with
Him from armies in the heavens and the earth except for Allaah. Neither these
disbelievers nor anyone else knows.
Second: The angels have great physical composure, as Allaah mentioned this about
them in His saying:

7. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
اﻟﺤﻤﺪ ﻟﻠﻪ َﺎﻃﺮ اﻟﺴ َﺎ َات َاﻟﺄرض َﺎﻋﻞ اﻟﻤَﺎﺋﻜﺔ رﺳًﺎ

“All praise is for Allaah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth – who made
the angels messengers with wings – two or three or four.” [Surah Faatir: 1]
This means that there are some angels that have two wings, some that have three and
some that have four. And there are some angels that have more wings than that, for the
Prophet saw the angel Jibreel and he had 600 wings – each wing blocking the
horizon. This is just one of the many angels that exist. Allaah described him as being
mighty in power, as He says:
ﻋﻠﻤﻪ ﺷ ِﻳﺪ اﻟﻘ َى
َﱠ َ ُ َﺪ ُ ْ ُﻮ
“He (Muhammad) has been taught (this Qur’aan) by one mighty in power.” [Surah
An-Najm: 5] He is referring to Jibreel.
ُو ﻣﺮة َﺎﺳﺘ َى
ذ ِ ﱠ ٍ ﻓ ْ َﻮ
“Free from any defect, then he rose (and became stable).” [Surah An-Najm: 6] This
means that he possesses strength and a beautiful appearance.
Third: The angels possess great power, by Allaah’s permission. What indicates their
great strength is that if Allaah commands just one of them, then indeed he is able to let
out an awful cry in the world, thus destroying the creation, as occurred with the people
of Thamood, who were seized by a loud scream. Jibreel unleashed one powerful
scream upon them:
إ ﱠﺎ أرﺳﻠ َﺎ ﻋﻠﻴﻬﻢ ﺻﻴﺤﺔ َاﺣﺪة ﻓ َﺎ ُﻮا آﻬ ِﻴﻢ اﻟﻤﺤﺘﻈﺮ
ِ ِ َ ْ ُ ْ ِ ِﻧ َ ْ َ ْﻨ ََ ْ ِ ْ َ ْ َ ً و ِ َ ً َﻜ ﻧ َ َﺸ
“Verily, We sent against them a single sayhah (awful cry), and they became like
the dry straw of fences.” [Surah Al-Qamar: 31]
So their hearts ceased to function within their bodies and as a result they died and
became like dry straw. It was from the custom of the Arabs that when they would settle
in a place, they would gather sticks of wood and make fences to surround their sheep
and cattle. These fences would eventually dry up and become pieces of straw. So in
spite of Thamood’s power and might, they became like dried-up straws as a result of
one loud cry from one of the angels.

8. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
Allaah also commanded Jibreel to raise up the towns of the people of Loot – and they
were seven cities in which could be found humans, buildings, goods and animals. He
carried them on one side of his wing and raised these cities until the (other) angels
heard the barking of dogs and the crowing of roosters. Then he overturned them and
Allaah caused the earth to swallow them up.
This is an example of the mighty power of the angels.
There is also the angel Israafeel, the angel that is entrusted with blowing the Trumpet.
What is meant by the Trumpet is a horn that will gather the souls of the son of Aadam
(i.e. humans), from the first of them to the last of them. Then Israafeel will blow one time
on the Trumpet, and the souls will fly about due to this blow of the horn, going back to
their bodies. This is known as the Blow of Resurrection (Nafkhat-ul-Ba’ath). Prior to this,
he will strike the Blow of Destruction (Nafkhat-us-Sa’aq), so everyone that is in the
heavens and in the earth will die except for he whom Allaah wills. Allaah says:
وﻧﻔﺦ ِﻲ اﻟ ﱡﻮر ﻓﺼﻌﻖ َﻦ ِﻲ اﻟﺴ َﺎ َات و َﻦ ِﻲ اﻟﺄرض إﱠﺎ َﻦ َﺎء اﻟﻠﻪ

“And the trumpet will be blown and all who are in the heavens and in the earth
will swoon away except for he whom Allaah wills.” [Surah Az-Zumar: 68]
Swooning away means to die. Then he will blow on the Trumpet again, which is known
as the Blow of Resurrection,
ﻓﺈ َا ُﻢ ﻗ َﺎم َﻨﻈ ُون
َ َِذ ه ِﻴ ٌ ﻳ ُﺮ
“and behold, they will be standing, looking.” [Surah Az-Zumar: 68]
This is just one of Allaah’s angels, and this is just one of his duties, which Allaah has
ordered him to carry out. So therefore, the angels are one of Allaah’s great creations.
He created them so that they may worship Him and carry out His commands. Allaah
says:

“Rather, they are honorable slaves. They speak not until He has spoken, and they
act on His Command. He knows what is before them and what is after them. And
they cannot intercede except for him with whom He is pleased with. And they
stand in awe out of fear of Him.” [Surah Al-Anbiyaa: 26-28]
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 8 www.al-ibaanah.com
9. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
This is a description of the angels.
The angels have duties. Each of them has a duty that he is entrusted with, and he does
not delay in carrying it out. Rather, he executes it acting on Allaah’s order and He
doesn’t disobey Him. Allaah says:
ﻋﻠﻴ َﺎ ﻣَﺎﺋﻜﺔ ﻏَﺎظ ﺷ َاد َﺎ ﻳﻌ ُﻮن اﻟﻠﻪ َﺎ أﻣﺮ ُﻢ ْوﻳﻔﻌُﻮن َﺎ ﻳﺆﻣ ُون

“(Hell) Over which are angels stern and severe who do not disobey the
Commands they receive from Allaah, but do that which they are commanded.”
[Surah At-Tahreem: 6]
Some of their Duties:
First: Those who take charge of the Hellfire. They are known as the Guardians of Hell,
meaning, those entrusted with the Hellfire and with tormenting its inhabitants.
Second: Among them are angels that are entrusted with carrying the Throne of Allaah,
as He says:
اﻟ ِﻳﻦ ﻳﺤﻤُﻮن اﻟﻌﺮش وﻣﻦ ﺣﻮﻟﻪ ﻳﺴﺒ ُﻮن ﺑﺤﻤﺪ
ِ ْ َ ِ َ ﱠﺬ َ َ ْ ِﻠ َ ْ َ ْ َ َ َ ْ َ َْ ُ ُ َ ﱢﺤ

“Those who carry the Throne (of Allaah) and those around it glorify the praises of
their Lord and believe in Him. And they ask forgiveness for those who believe,
(saying): ‘Our Lord! You encompass all things in mercy and knowledge, so
forgive those who repent.’” [Surah Ghaafir: 7]
And Allaah says:
وﻳﺤﻤﻞ ﻋﺮش ر ﱢﻚ َﻓﻮﻗﻬﻢ ﻳﻮﻣﺌﺬ ﺛ َﺎﻧﻴﺔ
ٌ َ ِ َ َ ْ ِ ُ َ ْ َ َﺑ َ ْ َ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ِ ٍ َﻤ
“And bearing the Throne of your Lord on that Day will be eight (angels).” [Surah
Al-Haaqah: 17]
The Number of Angels who will Bear the Throne:
The angels that will carry the Throne are four. Then on the Day of Judgement their
number will increase to eight. The Throne of Allaah is the greatest of His creations,
which will be carried on the Day of Judgement by eight angels. This shows that they are
indeed mighty, since they will carry this magnificent Throne, which is the greatest and
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 9 www.al-ibaanah.com
10. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
mightiest of Allaah’s creations. This indicates their power and their tremendous
composures.
Third: Among them are those angels entrusted with revelation. Allaah says:
ﻳﻨ ﱢل اﻟ َﻶﺋﻜﺔ ِﺎﻟ ﱡوح ﻣﻦ أﻣﺮﻩ ﻋَﻰ َﻦ ﻳ َﺎء
ُ َﺰ ُ ْﻤ ِ َ َ ﺑ ْﺮ ِ ِ ْ َ ْ ِ ِ َﻠ ﻣ َﺸ
ﻣﻦ ﻋ َﺎدﻩ أن َﻧﺬ ُوا أ ﱠﻪ ﻻ إَـﻪ إﻻ أﻧﺎ َﺎﺗ ُﻮن
ِ ِ ْ ِﺒ ِ ِ َ ْ أ ِر ْ َﻧ ُ َ ِﻟ َ ِ ﱠ َ َ ْ ﻓ ﱠﻘ
“He sends down the angels with the Rooh (spirit/revelation) from His Command
to whomever He wills from His servants, (saying): ‘Warn mankind that there is no
deity that has the right to be worshipped except Me, so be dutiful to Me.’” [Surah
An-Nahl: 2]
The word Rooh (spirit) here means revelation. It is called Rooh because it is the
revelation that brings life to the hearts, just as the rain brings life to the earth. In the
same sense, it is the created Rooh (spirit) that brings life to the bodies of animals.
Rooh can also stand for the Qur’aan, as Allaah says:
وآﺬﻟﻚ أوﺣﻴ َﺎ إﻟﻴﻚ ُو ًﺎ ﻣﻦ أﻣﺮ َﺎ
َ َ َ ِ َ َ ْ َ ْﻨ ِ َ ْ َ ر ﺣ ﱢ ْ َ ْ ِﻧ
“And thus We have revealed to you (O Muhammad) a Rooh (i.e. Qur’aan) from Our
Command.” [Surah Ash-Shooraa: 52]
Rooh here stands for the Qur’aan, since it is that which brings life to the hearts of the
believers, just as the earth is brought to life by rain. Such is the case with the hearts of
the believers – they are brought to life by way of the Qur’aan.
The word Rooh is also used to refer to Jibreel, who is the greatest, most honorable and
virtuous of all the angels. He is the one who brought the Qur’aan down from Allaah to
Muhammad, as Allaah says:
ﻧﺰل ﺑﻪ اﻟ ﱡوح اﻟﺄ ِﻴﻦ . ﻋَﻰ ﻗﻠﺒﻚ ﻟﺘ ُﻮن ﻣﻦ اﻟ ُﻨﺬ ِﻳﻦ . ﺑﻠ َﺎن ﻋﺮﺑﻲ ﻣ ِﻴﻦ

“The trustworthy spirit (Jibreel) brought it (i.e. the Qur’aan) down – to your heart
(O Muhammad) in order that you may be from the warners – in a plain Arabic
language.” [Surah Ash-Shu’araa: 193-195]
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 10 www.al-ibaanah.com
11. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
So Jibreel brought the Qur’aan down to the heart of the Prophet , and he in turn
conveyed it to his ummah. In another ayah, Allaah says:
ﻗﻞ ﻧﺰﻟﻪ ُوح اﻟﻘﺪس ِﻦ رﺑﻚ
َ ُ ْ َ ﱠَ ُ ر ُ ْ ُ ُ ِ ﻣ ﱠ ﱢ
“Say: The holy spirit (Jibreel) brought it down from your Lord.” [Surah An-Nahl:
102]
This is referring to the angel Jibreel – he is the holy spirit.
The Attributes of Jibreel
Allaah has described Jibreel with great characteristics, as He says:
. ﻓَﺎ أﻗﺴﻢ ِﺎﻟﺨ ﱠﺲ . اﻟﺠ َار اﻟﻜﻨﺲ . َاﻟﻠﻴﻞ إ َا ﻋﺴﻌﺲ . َاﻟﺼﺒﺢ إ َاﺗﻨﻔﺲ
َ َﻠ ُ ْ ِ ُ ﺑ ْ ُﻨ ِ ْ َﻮ ِ ْ ُ ﱠ ِ و ﱠ ْ ِ ِذ َ ْ َ َ و ﱡ ْ ِ ِذ َ َ ﱠ

ٍ ِﻧ ُ َ َ ْ ُ َﺳ ٍ َﺮ ٍ ذ ُ ﱠ ٍ ﻋ َ ذ ْ َ ْ ِ َﻜ ٍ ُﻄ ٍ َ ﱠ َﻣ
“So verily, I swear by the planets that recede (disappear during the day and
appear at night). And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves. And
by the night as it departs. And by the dawn as it brightens. Verily, this is the Word
(brought by) an honorable angel – Possessing power and a high rank with the
Lord of the Throne. Obeyed (by the angels), trustworthy there (in the heavens).”
[Surah At-Takweer: 15-21]
His First Attribute: Power: Allaah says: “Possessing power and a high rank with
the Lord of the Throne.” [Surah At-Takweer: 20] The “Lord of the Throne” here
refers to Allaah.
His Second Attribute: Position: Allaah says: “Possessing power and a high rank
with the Lord of the Throne.” [Surah At-Takweer: 20] This means that he possesses a
high position in the sight of Allaah, which no one else has reached.
His Third Attribute: Obedience: All of the angels obey Jibreel by the Permission of
Allaah.
His Fourth Attribute: Trustworthiness: This refers to the revelation, such that he
doesn’t make additions or subtractions to it, but rather, He conveys it just the way that
Allaah has revealed it to him.
The Prophet Muhammad’s Seeing Jibreel:
Allaah says:
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 11 www.al-ibaanah.com
12. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
و َﺎ َﺎﺣﺒ ُﻢ ﺑﻤﺠ ُﻮن
ٍ َﻣ ﺻ ِ ُﻜ ِ َ ْﻨ
“And your companion is not insane.” [Surah At-Takweer: 22] This is what the
disbelievers claimed about him .
وﻟﻘﺪ َﺁﻩ ِﺎﻟﺄﻓﻖ اﻟﻤ ِﻴﻦ
ِ ََ َ ْ ر ُ ﺑ ُْ ُ ِ ْ ُﺒ
“And indeed he (Muhammad) saw him (Jibreel) in the clear horizon.” [Surah At-
Takweer: 23] Muhammad saw Jibreel on the horizon twice.
The First Time: This was in the valley of Makkah. The Prophet Muhammad lifted his
head and saw him in the sky and he had 600 wings. Each one of his wings blocked the
horizon.
The Second Time: Allaah says: “And indeed he (Muhammad) saw him (Jibreel) at a
second descent – near the lote-tree of the utmost boundary.” [Surah An-Najm: 13-
14] This occurred during the night in which the Prophet ascended to the heaven and
saw him in his natural state.
These are the attributes of Jibreel. Allaah says:
إ ﱠﻪ ﻟﻘﻮل ر ُﻮل آ ِﻳﻢ
ٍ ِﻧ ُ َ َ ْ ُ َﺳ ٍ َﺮ
“Verily, this is the Word (brought by) an honorable angel.” [Surah At-Takweer: 19]
This means: Even though the Qur’aan is the Speech of Allaah, it is ascribed to Jibreel
here, since he is the one who conveyed it to Muhammad. So he is conveying from
Allaah, for he dictated it to our messenger, Muhammad, conveying it from Allaah.
However, it is the Speech of Allaah. Speech is only attributed to the one who states it
originally, not to the one who says it conveying it from someone else. However, the
Speech of Allaah has been attributed to Jibreel here from the perspective of his
conveying it.
Fourth: There are angels entrusted with other duties
1. Mikaa’eel: He is responsible for the raindrops that fall down from the sky. He moves
them around and causes the rain to descend wherever Allaah commands.
2. Israafeel is responsible for blowing the Trumpet. This will be at the time when Allaah
wants to resurrect the creatures from their graves. The bodies will be brought forth from
the graves and reassembled. Then the only thing remaining (to be integrated) will be the
soul. It is at this point that Israafeel will blow on this horn, due to Allaah’s Command,
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 12 www.al-ibaanah.com
13. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
and the souls will float to their respective bodies, which had come out and risen from
their graves. Then they will walk to where Allaah orders them to go. Allaah says:
ﻳﻮم ﻳﺨﺮ ُﻮن ﻣﻦ اﻟﺄﺟ َاث ﺳ َا ًﺎ آﺄﻧﻬﻢ إَﻰ ﻧﺼﺐ ُﻮﻓ ُﻮن
َ َ ْ َ َ ْ ُﺟ َ ِ َ َْ ْﺪ ِ ِﺮ ﻋ ََ ﱠ ُ ْ ِﻟ ُ ُ ٍ ﻳ ِﻀ
“The Day when they will come out of the graves quickly as if they were racing to a
goal.” [Surah Al-Ma’aarij: 43]
And Allaah says:
ﺧﺸ ًﺎ أﺑ َﺎرهﻢ ﻳﺨﺮ ُﻮن ﻣﻦ اﻟﺄﺟ َاث آﺄﻧﻬﻢ ﺟ َاد
ٌ ُ ﱠﻌ َ ْﺼ ُ ُ ْ َ ْ ُﺟ َ ِ َ َْ ْﺪ ِ ََ ﱠ ُ ْ َﺮ
ﱡﻨﺘﺸﺮ . ﻣﻬﻄ ِﻴﻦ إَﻰ اﻟ ﱠاع ﻳ ُﻮل اﻟ َﺎﻓ ُون ه َا ﻳﻮم ﻋﺴﺮ
ٌ ِ َ ٌ ْ َ ﻣ َ ِ ٌ ﱡ ْ ِﻌ َ ِﻟ ﺪ ِ َﻘ ُ ْﻜ ِﺮ َ َﺬ
“They will come forth with humbled eyes from (their) graves as if they were
locusts spread about. Hastening towards the caller, the disbelievers will say:
‘This is a hard day.’” [Surah Al-Qamar: 7-8]
These are the three angels that are responsible for life. Jibreel is responsible for
bringing the revelation, which brings life into the hearts. Mikaa’eel is responsible for the
raindrops, which bring life to the earth after its death. Israafeel is responsible for blowing
on the trumpet, which will bring life to the bodies (on the Day of Resurrection). This is
why when the Prophet would get up for prayer at night, after saying the opening
Takbeer, he would say in his opening supplication: “O Allaah! Lord of Jibreel,
Mikaa’eel and Israafeel, Originator of the heavens and the earth…”
These are the greatest angels due to the magnitude of their duties.
Fifth: There are also angels that are put in charge of the fetuses in the mothers’
wombs. This has been reported in the hadeeth of Ibn Mas’ood , in which he said: “The
Messenger of Allaah narrated to us – and he is the truthful one who is believed –
saying: ‘Verily the creation of each of one of you is brought together in his
mother’s womb for forty days in the form of a seed, then he is a clot of blood for a
like period, then a morsel of flesh for a like period. Then the angel is sent to him
and commanded with four matters – to write down his means of livelihood, his life
span, his actions, and whether he will be happy or unhappy.’” Allaah sends this
angel to him to carry out this great important task.
Sixth: There are angels that are in charge of taking the souls when their prescribed
time is over. There is the Angel of Death (Malak-ul-Mawt) about whom Allaah says:
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 13 www.al-ibaanah.com
14. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
ﻗﻞ ﻳﺘﻮ ﱠﺎ ُﻢ ﱠﻠﻚ اﻟﻤﻮت اﻟ ِي وآﻞ ﺑﻜﻢ ﺛ ﱠ إَﻰ رﺑﻜﻢ ﺗﺮﺟ ُﻮن
َ ُ ْ َ َ َﻓ آ ﻣَ ُ ْ َ ْ ِ ﱠﺬ ُ ﱢ َ ِ ُ ْ ُﻢ ِﻟ َ ﱢ ُ ْ ُ ْ َﻌ
“Say: ‘The Angel of Death, who is set over you, will take your souls.’ Then to your
Lord you will return.” [Surah As-Sajdah: 11]
The Angel of Death has assistants that will aid him, as Allaah says:
ﺣﺘﻰ إ َا َﺎء أﺣﺪآﻢ اﻟﻤﻮت ﺗﻮﻓﺘﻪ رﺳﻠ َﺎ وهﻢ
ْ ُ َ َ ﱠ َ ِذ ﺟ َ َ َ ُ ُ ْ َ ْ ُ َ َ ﱠ ْ ُ ُ ُُﻨ
ﻻ ﻳﻔﺮ ُﻮن . ﺛ ﱠ ر ﱡوا إَﻰ اﻟﻠﻪ ﻣﻮﻻهﻢ اﻟﺤﻖ
َ ُ َ ﱢﻃ َ ُﻢ ُد ْ ِﻟ ّ ِ َ ْ َ ُ ُ ْ َ ﱢ
“Until when death approaches one of you, Our messengers (i.e. the Angel of
Death and his assistants) take his soul, and they never neglect their duty. Then
they are returned to Allaah, their Master, the Just Lord.” [Surah Al-An’aam: 61-62]
So taking the soul at the time of death is ascribed to the angels, to the Angel of Death
and also to Allaah.
اﻟﻠﻪ ﻳﺘﻮ ﱠﻰ اﻟَﻧﻔﺲ ِﻴﻦ ﻣﻮﺗ َﺎ
ﱠ ُ َ َ َ ﻓ ْ ﺄ ُ َ ﺣ َ َ ْ ِﻬ
“It is Allaah who takes the souls at the time of their death.” [Surah Az-Zumar: 42]
Death is ascribed to Allaah here because He is the One who orders it to occur. It is also
ascribed to the angels because they are the ones who physically carry that out by
gathering the soul and leading it out of the human’s body until it reaches his throat. And
it is also ascribed to the Angel of Death - “Say: ‘The Angel of Death, who is set over
you, will take your souls’” – because he is the one in charge of seizing the souls after
they have been rounded up in the last stage (of death).
Seventh: There are also angels in charge of recording the deeds of the son of Aadam
(i.e. humans), as occurs in the hadeeth: “You are constantly being frequented (in
successive shifts) by angels at night and angels during the day.” Allaah says:
وإن ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻟ َﺎﻓ ِﻴﻦ . آ َا ًﺎ َﺎﺗ ِﻴﻦ . ﻳﻌﻠ ُﻮن َﺎ ﺗﻔﻌُﻮن
َ َِ ﱠ ََ ْ ُ ْ َﺤ ِﻈ َ ِﺮ ﻣ آ ِﺒ َ َ َْﻤ َ ﻣ َ ْ َﻠ
“And verily, there are guardians (i.e. angels) over you – Honorable, recording
(your deeds). They know all that you do.” [Surah Al-Infitaar: 10-12]
Every Human Being has Two Angels with him:
Every human amongst us has two angels that are responsible over him – an angel on
his right side recording his good deeds and another on his left side recording his bad
deeds. Allaah says:
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 14 www.al-ibaanah.com
15. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
إذ ﻳﺘﻠ ﱠﻰ اﻟﻤﺘﻠﻘ َﺎن ﻋﻦ اﻟﻴﻤﻴﻦ وﻋﻦ اﻟﺸ َﺎل ﻗ ِﻴﺪ . َﺎ ﻳﻠﻔﻆ ِﻦ ﻗﻮل إﱠﺎ ﻟﺪﻳﻪ ر ِﻴﺐ ﻋ ِﻴﺪ
ِ ْ َ ََﻘ ْ ُ ََ ﱢﻴ ِ َ ِ ْ َ ِ ِ َ َ ِ ﱢﻤ ِ َﻌ ٌ ﻣ َ ْ ِ ُ ﻣ َ ْ ٍ ِﻟ َ َ ْ ِ َﻗ ٌ َﺘ
“When the two receivers receive (i.e. record his deeds) from his right side and his
left side, sitting. Not a word does he utter, except that there is a watcher by him
ready (to record it).” [Surah Qaaf: 17-18]
These guardian angels accompany a human being whether he is on a journey or sitting
at home – they are next to him at all times under all conditions – during his prayer, while
he is prostrating, etc. – they accompany him and do not leave him alone except under
specific circumstances, such as when the person is relieving himself (in the bathroom).
So these angels record his statements and his actions.
The angels record People’s Intentions and Objectives:
It has been related that the angels also record a person’s intentions and inner
objectives, which are located in the heart. Whatever he intends to do, they record it.
This is why a person is rewarded for having a good intention, since it is an action of the
heart, while he is punished for evil intentions, since the intention is an action of the
heart.
These angels are put in charge of recording a person’s deeds from the time that he
reaches the age of puberty – the age of discernment – to the time when Allaah takes his
soul in death. And they record against him everything that he does in his life – whether
that is in the form of intentions, actions, statements, or other than that.
The Status of the Fajr and ‘Asr Prayers amidst the Other Prayers:
The Prophet said: “You are constantly being frequented (in successive shifts) by
angels at night and angels during the day. And they gather together during the
‘Asr Prayer and during the Fajr Prayer.” It is for this reason that these two prayers
are the greatest of all prayers. Allaah says:
إن ﻗﺮْﺁن اﻟﻔﺠﺮ َﺎن ﻣﺸ ُﻮ ًا
ِ ﱠ ُ َ ْ َ ْ ِ آ َ َ ْﻬ د
“Verily, the recitation of the Qur’aan in the early dawn (i.e. Fajr Prayer) is
witnessed (by the angels).” [Surah Al-Israa: 78]
He is referring here to the Fajr Prayer, which the angels of the night and the angels of
the day attend. They gather together to witness the Fajr prayer along with the Muslims
and listen to the Qur’aan that is recited in prayer. They also gather together during the
‘Asr Prayer, where Allaah asks them, even though He is most knowledgeable of the
answer: “In what state did you leave My servants?” The angels reply, saying: “We
came to them while they were praying and we left them while they were praying.”
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 15 www.al-ibaanah.com
16. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
This means that they descended while we were praying ‘Asr and they attended the
prayer along with us. And then they rose back up (to the heavens) while we were
praying Fajr.
Due to this, it has been determined that the ‘Asr Prayer is the “Middle Prayer” about
which Allaah has incited us, saying:
َﺎﻓ ُﻮا ﻋَﻰ اﻟﺼﻠ َات واﻟﺼﻼة اﻟﻮﺳ َﻰ و ُﻮ ُﻮا ﻟﻠﻪ َﺎﻧ ِﻴﻦ
َ ﱠ َ ِ ْ ُ ْﻄ َﻗ ﻣ ْ ِّ ِ ﻗ ِﺘ ِ ﱠ َﻮ ﺣ ِﻈ ْ َﻠ
“Guard strictly the (five daily) prayers, especially the middle prayer (i.e. ‘Asr).”
[Surah Al-Baqarah: 238] He means by this the ‘Asr prayer since that is the prayer that
the angels of the night and the angels of the day attend.
A Call to the Heedless:
So where are those who hold back from attending the Fajr Prayer, sleeping (instead) in
their beds and not witnessing this great event every night with the angels of the Most
Merciful? This is such that these angels inform about these attendees (of the Fajr
Prayer) while in the most highest of gatherings, saying: “We came to them while they
were praying and we left them while they were praying.”
What benefit has this person who refrains from going to the Fajr Prayer and instead
prefers sleep gained from his actions? And what benefit has this person who misses out
on attending the ‘Asr Prayer, due to laziness, preferring sleep or some other deed,
gained from his actions?
It is stated in the hadeeth that: “Whoever misses the ‘Asr Prayer, it is as if he lost
his family and wealth.” And in another hadeeth it states: “…then he has nullified his
actions.” This means that he has taken the prayer out of its proper time. So if he takes
it out of its proper time, he has missed it.
Eight: There are also angels that are responsible for protecting humans from perils. A
human being is prone to walk into dangers everyday. However, Allaah entrusts angels
that guard and protect him from these dangers during his lifetime, which Allaah has
ordained for him. This earth, which a human being walks upon everyday, contains many
dangers. There are wild beasts, snakes, scorpions, not to mention transgressors from
among humans – enemies and oppressors. However, Allaah has placed these angels
around the human being. Allaah says:
ﻟﻪ ﻣﻌﻘ َﺎت ﱢﻦ ﺑﻴﻦ ﻳﺪﻳﻪ وﻣﻦ ﺧﻠﻔﻪ ﻳﺤﻔ ُﻮﻧﻪ ﻣﻦ أﻣﺮ اﻟﻠﻪ
ِ ّ ِ ْ َ ْ ِ ُ َ َ ُ ُ َ ﱢﺒ ٌ ﻣ َ ْ ِ َ َ ْ ِ َ ِ ْ َ ْ ِ ِ َ ْ َﻈ
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 16 www.al-ibaanah.com
17. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
“He (a person) has those (angels) who constantly surround him – from before him
and behind him, protecting him by the Command of Allaah.” [Surah Ar-Ra’ad: 11]
Therefore, so long as Allaah has decreed that this individual will be safe from harms,
these angels will protect and guard him, and no human will be able to harm him. But if
Allaah desires to bring an end to his appointed time, He removes them from him – one
from before him and one from behind him.
إن اﻟﻠﻪ ﻻ ﻳﻐ ﱢﺮ َﺎ ﺑﻘﻮم ﺣ ﱠﻰ ﻳﻐﻴ ُوا َﺎ ﺑﺄﻧﻔﺴﻬﻢ وإ َا أ َاد اﻟﻠﻪ ﺑﻘﻮم ُﻮ ًا ﻓﻼ ﻣﺮد ﻟﻪ
ُ َ ِ ﱠ ّ َ َ ُ َﻴ ُ ﻣ ِ َ ْ ٍ َﺘ ُ َ ﱢﺮ ْ ﻣ َِ ْ ُ ِ ِ ْ َِذ َر َ ّ ُ ِ َ ْ ٍ ﺳ ء َ َ َ َ ﱠ
“Verily, Allaah will not change the condition of a people until they (first) change
the condition of themselves. And when Allaah desires a bad end for a people,
there is no turning it back.” [Surah Ar-Ra’ad: 11]
So if Allaah’s Divine Pre-Decree comes to pass and He desires to put an end to this
person, the angels that constantly surround him withdraw themselves from him because
they do not refrain from carrying out His Command. These are the angels that
constantly surround a person.
Ninth: There are also angels that have responsibilities in this universe that only Allaah
has knowledge of. There are angels that are put in charge of the seas and angels put in
charge of the days. There are angels responsible for the winds and angels put in charge
of carrying out many other duties.
All of the events that occur in the universe and which constantly transpire within it on a
daily basis are only by Allaah’s decreeing that. As for the angels, they carry out
whatever tasks Allaah orders them to execute.
The Obligation of Believing in the Angels and all of their Duties:
There are those angels whom Allaah has named for us, such as Jibreel, Mikaa’eel,
Israafeel and Maalik, the caretaker of Hell. Allaah says:
و َﺎدوْا َﺎ َﺎﻟﻚ ﻟﻴﻘﺾ ﻋﻠﻴ َﺎ رﺑﻚ َﺎل إﻧ ُﻢ ﱠﺎآ ُﻮن
َ َﻧ َ ﻳ ﻣ ِ ُ ِ َ ْ ِ ََ ْﻨ َ ﱡ َ ﻗ َ ِ ﱠﻜ ﻣ ِﺜ
“And they (the inhabitants of Hell) will cry: ‘O Maalik! Let your Lord make an end
of us!’ He will say: ‘Verily, you shall abide (herein) forever.’” [Surah Az-Zukhruf: 77]
And there are other angels whom Allaah has not named for us. However, we believe in
all of the angels – those whose names we know and those whose names we don’t
know. And we believe in the duties and tasks that they carry out by Allaah’s Command.
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 17 www.al-ibaanah.com
18. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
Areas of Difference between the Actions of Angels and the Actions of Devils:
First: The angels glorify the praises of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those one
earth. So they are the most sincere of creatures towards the children of Aadam,
whereas the devils are the most treacherous of creatures towards the children of
Aadam. This is since the Devil has sworn to mislead, stray and ruin the children of
Aadam as much as he is able to. Allaah says:
إ ﱠﺎ ﺟﻌﻠ َﺎ اﻟﺸ َﺎ ِﻴﻦ أوﻟ َﺎء ﻟﻠ ِﻳﻦ ﻻ ﻳﺆﻣ ُﻮن
َ ِﻧ َ َ ْﻨ ﱠﻴ ﻃ َ َ ِْﻴ ِﱠﺬ َ َ ُ ْ ِﻨ
“Verily, We placed the devils as supporters for those who don’t believe.” [Surah
Al-A’raaf: 27]
Second: The angels command the servants towards good, whereas the devils incite
them and order them to commit evil.
و َﻦ ﻳﻌﺶ َﻦ ذآﺮ اﻟﺮﺣﻤﻦ ﻧﻘﻴﺾ ﻟﻪ ﺷﻴ َﺎ ًﺎ ﻓﻬﻮ ﻟﻪ ﻗ ِﻳﻦ
ٌ َﻣ َ ْ ُ ﻋ ِ ْ ِ ﱠ ْ َ ِ ُ َ ﱢ ْ َ ُ َ ْﻄ ﻧ َ ُ َ َ ُ َﺮ
“And whoever turns away blindly from the Remembrance of the Most Merciful,
We appoint for him a devil to stick with him – so he becomes his companion.”
[Surah Az-Zukhruf: 36]
So the person that turns away from the noble Qur’aan, Allaah punishes him by
assigning a devil to him that will serve as his companion. Allaah says:
وإﻧﻬﻢ ﻟﻴﺼ ﱡوﻧﻬﻢ ﻋﻦ اﻟﺴ ِﻴﻞ وﻳﺤﺴ ُﻮن أﻧ ُﻢ ﻣﻬﺘ ُون . ﺣ ﱠﻰ
َِ ﱠ ُ ْ َ َ ُﺪ َ ُ ْ َ ِ ﱠﺒ ِ َ َ ْ َﺒ َ َ ﱠﻬ ﱡ ْ َﺪ َ َﺘ
إ َا َﺎء َﺎ َﺎل َﺎ ﻟﻴﺖ ﺑﻴ ِﻲ وﺑﻴﻨﻚ ﺑﻌﺪ اﻟﻤﺸﺮﻗﻴﻦ ﻓﺒﺌﺲ اﻟﻘ ِﻳﻦ
ُ ِذ ﺟ ﻧ ﻗ َ ﻳ َ ْ َ َ ْﻨ َ َ ْ َ َ ُ ْ َ ْ َ ْ ِ َ ْ ِ َ ِ ْ َ ْ َﺮ
“And verily, they (i.e. the assigned devils) hinder them from the correct path,
whereas they think they are guided aright! This is until such a person comes to
Us, he will then say (to his devil companion): ‘Would that between me and you
were the distance of the two easts.’ So what an evil companion indeed!” [Surah
Az-Zukhruf: 37-38]
So therefore nothing protects a human being from the Devil except the Remembrance
of Allaah.
Third: The Remembrance of Allaah removes the devils from a human and causes the
angels to come near him.
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 18 www.al-ibaanah.com
19. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
This is why the Devil is called Al-Waswaas-ul-Khannaas (The Whisperer of evil into the
hearts of mankind who Departs when a person remembers Allaah). So when a person
abandons the Remembrance of Allaah, the Devil comes to him, but when he
remembers Allaah, the angels surround him, as is mentioned in the hadeeth: “No
group of people gather together in one of the Houses of Allaah to read the Book
of Allaah and study it amongst themselves except that tranquility descends upon
them, mercy envelopes them, the angels surround them and Allaah mentions
them to those near Him.”
The Places often Frequented by the Angels:
There are angels that travel throughout the earth looking for gatherings where Allaah is
remembered. When they find a gathering of Allaah’s remembrance, they say: “Come
quickly to your necessity.” The Remembrance of Allaah is of various types, amongst
which are:
1. The recitation of the Qur’aan. The one who reads/recites the Qur’aan is remembering
Allaah.
2. The one who prays remembers Allaah.
3. The one who says “SubhaanAllaah”, “Astaghfirullaah”, “Allaahu Akbar”, and says
“Laa Ilaaha IllaaAllaah” remembers Allaah, and so the angels gather around him and
the devils go far away from him.
4. Those who review and study the books of knowledge and sit in gatherings to learn
their Religion – they are remembering Allaah, and so the angels gather near them.
The Places often Frequented by the Devils:
1. Those who preoccupy themselves with forms of vain entertainment such as songs
and instruments – these individuals are surrounded by the devils who gather near them,
while the angels distance themselves from them.
2. The one who places pictures in his house – the angels do not enter his home, as is
stated in the hadeeth, where the Prophet said: “Verily, the angels do not enter the
home in which there is a dog and images.” So the angels of mercy do not enter into
homes that have pictures in them, regardless of whether they are hanging on the wall or
stored in frames and boxes for the sake of memories or to beautify the walls of the
home.
The pictures here, refers to images of things possessing souls. This drives the angels
away. So the angels do not enter homes in which the likes of these pictures exist.
However, the pictures that have been allowed for one to acquire because of necessity,
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 19 www.al-ibaanah.com
20. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
such as ID cards, passports and personal identification cards, these are permitted out of
necessity for them. These pictures are not taken in order to admire them. So these
types of pictures are the exception to the prohibition. The same goes for images that are
trampled on (i.e. on the floor) and sat upon. We are only talking here about the images
that are hung for the sake of memories or stored for the sake of showing off. These are
the types of images that are not permitted, as there is no necessity for them to be taken.
These types of pictures cause the devils to come into the homes while preventing the
angels from entering them.
The Effect that Belief in the Angels has on the Life of Humans:
Belief in the Angels has a tremendous effect on the life of humans, since if a person is
aware of them, he will indeed be cautious and mindful. If a person realizes that there
are angels entrusted to him who constantly surround him day and night, he will surely
be cautious of what he says and does, lest something is recorded about him that is not
befitting. So if he knew that there were investigators following him, wouldn’t he be
cautious out of fear that they might take hold of some speech or action of his which will
cause him a harmful end?
So how can he not then be cautious and mindful of the angels when he doesn’t see
them? But as for humans, you can see them. So the one who is watching you and you
can see him, you are wary about him. However, the angels see you but you cannot see
them. It is possible that you might be able to protect yourself from humans – you can go
inside your home or lock yourself up in some secluded area and they would not be able
to gain any information about you. But as for the angels, they enter with you
everywhere. Allaah has given them the ability to reach and access any place that He
commands them to reach. This is why Allaah warns us, saying:
وإن ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻟ َﺎﻓ ِﻴﻦ . آ َا ًﺎ َﺎﺗ ِﻴﻦ . ﻳﻌﻠ ُﻮن َﺎ ﺗﻔﻌُﻮن
َ َِ ﱠ ََ ْ ُ ْ َﺤ ِﻈ َ ِﺮ ﻣ آ ِﺒ َ َ َْﻤ َ ﻣ َ ْ َﻠ
“And verily, there are guardians (i.e. angels) over you – Honorable, recording
(your deeds). They know all that you do.” [Surah Al-Infitaar: 10-12]
Allaah says this in order to caution and warn us. So this is the fruit of believing and
having faith in the angels – that a person will protect himself from evil statements and
actions, which will be recorded against him and for which he will be held accountable on
the Day of Judgement.
Nothing is Hidden from Allaah:
Allaah says:
ِن آ ﱡ ﻧﻔﺲ ﻟ ﱠﺎﻋﻠﻴ َﺎ َﺎﻓﻆ
ٌ ِ إ ُﻞ َ ْ ٍ ﱠﻤ ََ ْﻬ ﺣ
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 20 www.al-ibaanah.com
21. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
“There is no human being except that he has a guardian (angel) over him).”
[Surah At-Taariq: 4]
And He says:
وﻧﺤﻦ أﻗﺮب إﻟﻴﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺣﺒﻞ اﻟﻮ ِﻳﺪ
ِ َ َ ْ ُ َ ْ َ ُ ِ َ ْ ِ ِ ْ َ ْ ِ ْ َر
“And We are closer to him than his jugular vein.” [Surah Qaf: 16]
Do you know what “al-wareed” (jugular vein) means here? The jugular vein of a human
being is the vein that is on the sides of his neck through which blood flows – one on the
right and one on the left, on both sides of his neck. In these two veins runs the blood
that supplies the body.
Allaah says:
وﻧﺤﻦ أﻗﺮب إﻟﻴﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺣﺒﻞ اﻟﻮ ِﻳﺪ
ِ َ َ ْ ُ َ ْ َ ُ ِ َ ْ ِ ِ ْ َ ْ ِ ْ َر
“And We are closer to him than his jugular vein.” [Surah Qaf: 16]
Likewise, Allaah says:
هﻮ اﻟﺄ ﱠل َاﻟْﺂﺧﺮ َاﻟ ﱠﺎهﺮ َاﻟ َﺎﻃﻦ وهﻮ ﺑﻜ ﱢ ﺷﻲء ﻋِﻴﻢ
ٌ ُ َ َْو ُ و ِ ُ و ﻈ ِ ُ و ْﺒ ِ ُ َ ُ َ ِ ُﻞ َ ْ ٍ َﻠ
“He is the First and the Last, the Most High and the Most Near. And He is the All-
Knower of everything.” [Surah Al-Hadeed: 3]
The Prophet said, explaining this ayah: “You (O Allaah) are the First, so there is
nothing before You. And You are the Last, so there is nothing after You. And You
are the Most High, so there is nothing above You, and You are the Most near, so
there is nothing below You.”
So then, there is nothing hidden from Allaah – whether it is in the land or the sea, in the
deepest part of one’s home, in the desert or in the marketplace, in the masjid, in the
theatre, and in the entertainment areas, in all places – the areas where Allaah is obeyed
as well as the areas where Allaah is disobeyed – nothing is hidden from Allaah nor is
anything screened from Him. This is why when Jibreel asked the Prophet about
Ihsaan, he responded by saying: “It is that you worship Allaah as if you see Him.
But even though you don’t see Him, indeed, He sees you.”
Al-Ibaanah E-Books 21 www.al-ibaanah.com
22. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
So a person must realize and be cognizant of the fact that he has angels with him and
that Allaah says:
وﻧﺤﻦ أﻗﺮب إﻟﻴﻪ ﻣﻦ ﺣﺒﻞ اﻟﻮ ِﻳﺪ . إذ ﻳﺘﻠ ﱠﻰ اﻟﻤﺘﻠﻘ َﺎن

“And We are closer to him than his jugular vein. When the two receivers receive
(i.e. record his deeds) from his right side and his left side, sitting. Not a word
does he utter, except that there is a watcher by him ready (to record it).” [Surah
Qaaf: 16-18]
And Allaah says:
أم ﻳﺤﺴ ُﻮن أ ﱠﺎ َﺎ ﻧﺴﻤﻊ ﺳﺮهﻢ وﻧﺠ َا ُﻢ ﺑَﻰ ورﺳﻠ َﺎ ﻟﺪﻳﻬﻢ ﻳﻜﺘ ُﻮن
َ َ ْ َ ْ َﺒ َ َﻧ ﻟ َ ْ َ ُ ِ ﱠ ُ ْ َ َ ْﻮ ه َﻠ َ ُ ُُﻨ َ َ ْ ِ ْ َ ْ ُﺒ
“Or do they think that We don’t hear their secrets and private counsels? Of
course (We do), and Our messengers are with them recording (their statements
and actions).” [Surah Az-Zukhruf: 80]
“Our messengers” here refers to the angels. So Allaah hears the secrets and private
counsels, and the angels record it. This is from the effects of believing in the angels.
Mentioning the Angels is for the purpose of Loving Them:
Mention of the angels is not just for the sake of knowing something, as one would read
history and other subjects. Rather, we only mention the angels in order that we may be
prepared and cautious of them recording something from us, which we will be held
accountable for before Allaah. Rather, we mention them for the purpose of loving them
since Allaah, the Most High, loves them. We love them because they are the most
obedient of creatures to Allaah, as He says:
آ َام ﺑﺮرة
ٍ َ َ َ ٍ ِﺮ
“Honorable and obedient.” [Surah ‘Abasa: 16]
What is important is that we acknowledge the magnitude and the status of the angels
and that we love them because Allaah loves them. As for the one who holds enmity
towards the angels and loathes them, then Allaah is indeed an enemy to him. And
whoever Allaah takes as an enemy, he will not be able to endure and he will not be in a
good state.

23. Belief in the Angels & Its Effect on the Life of the Ummah
Allaah says:
َﻦ َﺎن ﻋﺪ ًّا ﻟﻠﻪ و َﻶﺋﻜﺘﻪ ورﺳﻠﻪ وﺟﺒ ِﻳﻞ و ِﻴ َﺎل ﻓﺈن اﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﺪو ﻟﻠ َﺎﻓ ِﻳﻦ
َ ﻣ آ َ َ ُو ﱢّ ِ َﻣ ِ َ ِ ِ َ ُ ُِ ِ َ ِ ْﺮ َ َﻣ ﻜ َ َِ ﱠ ّ َ َ ُ ﱞ ﱢ ْﻜ ِﺮ
“Whoever is an enemy to Allaah, His Angels, His Messengers, Jibreel, and
Mikaa’eel, then indeed Allaah is an enemy to the disbelievers.” [Surah Al-Baqarah:
98]
So whoever holds the angels as enemies, Allaah becomes his enemy.
I ask Allaah to endow you and us with true Faith, beneficial knowledge and righteous
actions. May the peace and blessings of Allaah be on our Prophet Muhammad, his
family members and his Companions.
