Re: Does the Quran say when and how God created Angels Im guessing that in Islam Ange

Here are some hadiths and scholarly saying on the creation of the angels:

​
Hazrat Jaabir bin Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) narrates another Hadith in which Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) is reported to have stated, "O Jaabir, most certainly Almighty Allah created the Noor (Light) of your Nabi before anything else. Then, when He decided to create the world, He divided the Noor of your Nabi into four portions. From the first portion, He created the Pen (Qalam) of Destiny, from the second, the Divine Tablet (Lawh-e-Mahfooz), from the third, the Divine Throne. The fourth portion was further sub-divided into another four portions. From the first portion, He created those Angels who are the bearers of the Divine Throne, from the second, the Divine Chair, and from the third, the rest of the Angels."

Allama Faasi (radi Allahu anhu) in his book, "Mutaali-ul-Musarrat", has recorded the following Hadith from Imam Ash'ari (radi Allahu anhu) who narrates, "Verily, the Almighty Allah is an Incomparable Light, the soul of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) is the splendid glow of that Light, while the Angels are the sparks of that resplendent light. Almighty Allah first created my Noor (Light) and from this Noor, He created
everything else."
​

A commentary of a Hadith is to be found in the book,​
"Umdatul Qaari Sharah Sahihul Bukhaari", carrying an interesting observation of Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) wherein he mentions, "There is an Angel named Rooh, who has seventy thousand heads, each head has seventy thousand faces, each face contains seventy mouths, each mouth is made up of seventy thousand tongues and each tongue is blessed with seventy thousand languages. By
means of these languages, this Angel is constantly reciting the Tasbeeh of Almighty Allah. From each Tasbeeh, one Angel is being created. This Angel soars into the Heavens with rest of the Angels until the Day of Judgement."
​

6. Hazrat Tha'albi​
(radi Allahu anhu) has reported a Hadith from Hazrat Abdullah ibn Masood (radi Allahu anhu), who mentions that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, "There is an Angel named Rooh who is of greater magnitude than the Heavens and the earth, as well as the mountains and other Angels. Daily, he recites twelve thousand Tasbeehs. From each Tasbeeh, one Angel is created. On the Day of Judgement, this Angel
will form one complete row by himself, while the rest of the Angels will form another row."
​

7. In the book,​
"Mawaahibul Ladunnia", Imam Qastalaani (radi Allahu anhu) states, "There is a celestial world found in the Heaven (made from water and smoke) wherein are Angels created from water and air. The leader of these Angels is Ra'd, who is responsible for the clouds and rain."
​

8. Shaikh Akbar ibn Arabi​
(radi Allahu anhu) states in his book, "Al Futuhaatul Makkia", that, "Almighty Allah first sparked a bright refulgence from light. Then He created darkness. On the darkness, the image of this light shone which revealed the Divine Throne. Then from this light, which was not only the light of the morning, but included the darkness of the night, Almighty Allah created those Angels which are found within the precincts of the Divine
Throne and the Divine Chair. These Angels also reflect the material of the Divine Chair."
​

9. Hazrat Abu Sa'eed​
(radi Allahu anhu) narrates the following Hadith of Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) in which he has stated, "Verily, there is a river in Heaven, in which whenever Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) submerges his wings and shakes it, small droplets of water drip from it. From each droplet, an Angel is created."
​

Indeed, one cannot estimate the droplets of water that drip from the wings of Hazrat Jibraeel​
(alaihis salaam). Why? Simply because Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) has six hundred wings and each wing is so huge that when he spreads it, it casts a shadow over the entire sky.

10. It has been reported from Hazrat ibn Abi Haatim, Aqueeli and Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhum) that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, "In the fourth Heaven is a river called Haywaan (River of Life). Each day Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) dips in it and shakes his wings letting off seventy thousand drops. From each of these droplets one Angel is created by Almighty Allah. These Angels are commanded to perform Salaah in the Baitul Ma'moor. As soon as they perform their Salaah, they come out from Baitul Ma'moor never to return. One Angel from this group is appointed their leader and he is delegated the duty of taking these Angels to one spot in Heaven where they will stand reciting the Tasbeeh of Almighty Allah till Day of Judgement."
​

11. Imam Ata, Maqaatil and Dhahaaq report a Hadith as narrated by Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas​
(radi Allahu anhu) in which Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, "On the right hand side of the Divine Throne is found a river of Light, which in magnitude is equal to the seven Heavens, the seven crust of the earth and the seven Oceans. In it, Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) bathes each morning, whereby his brightness and beauty is constantly increased. When Hazrat Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) comes out from this water, he flutters his wings. From each drop that fall from his wings, a thousand Angels are created. From these multitude of Angels, seventy thousand are commanded to enter the Baitul Ma'moor, none of whom will get another chance to enter this illustrious place until the Day of Judgement." (Tafseer Kabeer)
​

Imam ibn Hajr Ali bin Urtahtah reports a Hadith that has been narrated by several Sahaba, in which Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, "There are some Angels of Almighty Allah whose every limb trembles from the constant Fear of Allah. Whichever of these Angels sheds a tear, it is immediately transformed into
an Angel before that tear can even reach the ground."
​

13. It has been reported by Hazrat Abush Shaikh Ka'ab Ahbaar​
(radi Allahu anhu) that, "Whichever of these Angels sheds a tear, it changes into an Angel and flies away with the Fear of Allah."
​

14. Imam ibn Bashkawaal reports a Hadith from Hazrat Anas​
(radi Allahu anhu), in which Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, "Whosoever sends a Durood Shareef upon me with the intention of honouring me, Almighty Allah will transform that Durood Shareef into an Angel whose one wing spreads to the East and one to the West. Allah commands this Angel, 'O My Angel! Send Durood upon my servant as he has sent
Durood upon My Beloved Habeeb'." In response to this Divine Command, the Angel will continue to send Durood upon the person till the Day of Judgement.

Similarly, Moulana Naqi Ali Khan (radi Allahu anhu) the father of A'la Hazrat, Imam Ahmed Raza Khan (radi Allahu anhu), in his famous book, "Al Kalaamul Awdah fi Tafseer-e-Alam-Nash-rah", reports a Hadith from Imam Sakhaawi (radi Allahu anhu) in which Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, "There is one Angel of Almighty Allah whose one side is in the East and one in the West. When anyone sends Durood Shareef upon me out of love and devotion, this Angel dives into the Heavenly Water and flutters his wings. From each drop that falls from his wings, Almighty Allah creates one Angel who will be reciting Istigfaar (seeking pardon) for this person until the Day of Judgement."
​

15. In the book,​
"Mawaahibul Laddunia", it is reported that, "There are some Angels who are constantly engaged in reciting the Tasbeeh of Allah. For every Tasbeeh they recite, Almighty Allah creates one Angel."
​

16. Hazrat ibn Arabi​
(radi Allahu anhu) in his famous treatise, "Al Futuhaatul Makkia", states, "Pious deeds and words take the form of an Angel which elevates the Heaven." In his esteemed opinion, this is in accordance with the Divine verse which means, "Unto Him soars good words and pious deeds elevate it."
​

17. Imam Qurtabi​
(radi Allahu anhu), in his book, "Tazkirah", narrates on the authority of great Scholars who maintain that, "Whosoever recites Surah Baqarah and Surah Ale Imraan, Almighty Allah will create Angels from his recitation and these Angels will intercede on behalf of the reciter on the Day of Judgement."
​

18. Imam Aarif billah Abdul Wahab Sha'raani​
(radi Allahu anhu) states in his famous treatise, "Meezanush Shari yatul Kubra", that, "Angels are created from the breath of pious people. Those that are created from the breath of pious women acquire greater beauty than those created from the breath of men."
​

From the above mentioned eighteen Ahadith and quotations of great Scholars of Islam, we can ascertain about the different ways in which Angels are created. These prove, beyond any shadow of doubt, that Angels are created daily in large numbers. Only their Creator and what He has revealed to His beloved Slaves know their true numbers.​



Regarding the birth of Angels, he [Allama ibn Hajr Makki] has stated that Angels are not created at one time. Rather, this is an ongoing process. Thereafter, Imam ibn Hajr (radiAllahu anhu) has narrated seven Ahadith, five of which I have already mentioned, while
the other two are now added to the original eighteen.

19. There is a fountain of Allah found in space which is so huge that the seven layers of earth can fit in it seven times. In it, one Angel from the Heaven descends, whose size completely fills the fountain. He bathes in this fountain and when he emerges from it, drops of light drip from his wings. From each droplet, Almighty Allah creates one Angel who like all Angels constantly engages in the Tasbeeh of Almighty Allah.

20. He further narrates another Hadith from Hazrat ibn Ula (radi Allahu anhu) who mentions that Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, "Jibraeel daily dives into the Fountain of Kauther and shakes his wings. From each droplet, Almighty Allah creates one Angel."

In the book, "Kitaabus Thawaab", Hazrat ibn Abid Dunya and Hazrat Abush Shaikh (radi Allahu anhuma), have recorded a Hadith of Hazrat Jaafer (radi Allahu anhu) in which Sayyiduna Rasoolullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) has stated, "Whosoever makes a Muslim happy, Almighty Allah will create one Angel out of this happiness who immediately engages himself in the worship of Almighty Allah and in exalting His Oneness. When this person passes away and enters the grave, this Angel will appear in front of him and ask, 'Do you remember me? I am the same happiness with which you gladdened the heart of a certain Muslim. Today, I will comfort you in your hour of fear, teach you the answers to the questions that will prove you a believer and will show you your place in Heaven'."

Re: Does the Quran and any other Islamic text say we should love God or Allah more th

QS. At Taubah:24
Say, [O Muhammad], "If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and jihad in His cause, then wait until Allah executes His command. And Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people."


QS. Al Maidah:54
O you who have believed, whoever of you should revert from his religion - Allah will bring forth [in place of them] a people He will love and who will love Him [who are] humble toward the believers, powerful against the disbelievers; they strive in the cause of Allah and do not fear the blame of a critic. That is the favor of Allah ; He bestows it upon whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.


QS. Ali Imran:31
Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."


QS. Al Baqarah:165
And of mankind are some who take (for worship) others besides Allah as rivals (to Allah). They love them as they love Allah. But those who believe, love Allah more (than anything else). If only, those who do wrong could see, when they will see the torment, that all power belongs to Allah and that Allah is Severe in punishment.
 
Re: Does the Quran say when and how God created Angels Im guessing that in Islam Ange

How come there is so much information on how the jinn look but very little on how the angels look (besides their wings)? For some reason (maybe because I've lived around non-Muslims most of my life) when I think angel I think a human with wings which is how Christians portray them.

Greetings and peace be with you truthseeker63;

I believe that God created every species according to its kind, if we choose to call humans and apes primates, it does not follow that one had to evolve from the other.

In the spirit of searching for God

Re: Does Islam and or the Quran give a reason why Polytheism can't be true and is wro

"And why, were there gods on earth and heaven other than God, they (heaven and earth) would surely go to ruin." (Quran 21:22)
　
There can be only one God, coz if there were many, we all would have been confused whom to choose and whom to worship, which god we need to pray for what in our life.
We would have been confused which lord to fear and whom to praise, if there were more than one God. In Hinduism we can see one "God" Shiva the destroyer attacking an elephant "God" Ganesh

We would be confused why Gods fought amongst themselves to prove who is greater than the other and who needs to be worshiped first. coz of this fight the earth and the living being would not exists.

To avoid all this confusion and chaos in our life, our religion and there is only one God, Allah SWT who we turn to for everything, whom we fear and seek forgiveness when we make a mistake, whom we praise and worship, whom we love the most.

And above all our only faith in Allah SWT that Allah SWT is the one and only glorious God, the most beneficent and the most merciful. Allah SWT alone is the Supreme, the true, Ultimate Sovereign, Master of the universe, the creator and controller of all existence the earth, the sky and everything therein

Did any White Europeans convert or revert to Islam I know there were Black Africans d

Did any White Europeans convert or revert to Islam during the Prophet Muhammad's time or early on after his death I know there were Black Africans during the Prophet Muhammad's time who accepted Islam but did any Greeks Romans or any other Europeans accept Islam since they ruled the Middle East at one time ? I ask this question because I am a White Western person and many Whites in the West think White people can't be Muslims when I have met White Muslims.
 
Re: Did any White Europeans convert or revert to Islam I know there were Black Africa

I meant to say that some Western Whites think Whites can't be Muslims not many.
 
Re: Did any White Europeans convert or revert to Islam I know there were Black Africa

Thats interesting, because I'm pretty sure the muslims from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Albania and Turkey are all white. Muslims from the Caucasus and Russia are all white too.

Not sure when they converted though
 
Re: Does the Quran and or any other Islamic text say who corrupted the Bible and or

But because of their breach of their Covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard: They change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the Message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them - barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: But forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): For God loveth those who are kind. (Surah 5, Maida, verse 13)

There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues: (as they read) you would think it is a part of the Book, but it is no part of the Book; and they say, 'That is from God,' but it is not from God: It is they who tell a lie against God and (well) they know it! (Surah 3, Al-i-'Imran, verse 78)

Then is it only a part of the Book that ye believe in, and do ye reject the rest? But what is the reward for those among you who behave like this but disgrace in this life? - And on the Day of Judgment they shall be consigned to the most grievous penalty. For Allah is not unmindful of what ye do. (Surah 2, Baqara, verse 85)

Say: "O People of the Book! Ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord...." (Surah 5, Al Ma'idah, verse 68)

If only they had stood fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that was sent to them from their Lord, they would have enjoyed happiness from every side. There is from among them a party on the right course: But many of them follow a course that is evil. (Surah 5, Maida, verse 69)

But why do they come to thee for decision, when they have (their own) Law before them?- Therein is the (plain) command of God; yet even after that, they would turn away. For they are not (really) people of faith. (Surah 5, Maida, verse 43)

"They (i.e. Jews and Christians) changed words from their contexts and forgot a good part of the message given to them, and you will continue to find them -except a few among them- bent on new deceits…" (5:13)

O People of the Book, now has come to you Our Messenger, clarifying to you much of that you used to conceal of the Book and passing over much (that is now unnecessary)." (5:15)

2.79 Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from God," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby.
 
Re: Did any White Europeans convert or revert to Islam I know there were Black Africa

I cease to be surprised at the ignorance of the "Western White Europeans"-----however, how is the term defined? ----if one were to go back in time, the "race" that europeans like to refer to as "european" were said to be the PIE people (Proto-Indo-Europeans) who migrated into regions that are (roughly) slavic, germanic, persian, indian etc.......

I may be wrong---but as far as I know, conversion was not particularly encouraged until about early/mid 8th century....?
 
Re: Did any White Europeans convert or revert to Islam I know there were Black Africa

I think there may have been a lot of territorial expansion during the mongol and ottoman periods....?
Spain, sicily, crete and cyprus were under Muslim influence by the end of the 8th century....I think?.....feel free to correct me.....

:salamext:


There was a man called Suhaib ar-Rumi [the Roman] who was a companion of Prophet Muhammad. :)


Here's the story to his life;
http://www.islamicboard.com/companions-prophet/369-suhayb-ar-rumi.html

NOTE: It says in the story that he was Arab with blonde hair, but scholars differ over whether he was Arab and some say he might have really been a Roman. Allah knows best.
