 فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد للحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل وأشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد my beloved brothers and sisters والله الحمد والمنا praises to Allah alone we thank him and we also send salutation on his prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم we've completed the first article of faith الإيمان بالله and now insha'Allah we're going to move on to the second article of faith that without it a person is not a believer you are not allowed to disbelieve in the angels and it is a pillar from the pillars of the iman الله تبارك وتعالى he says in the Quran ومن يكفر بالله وملايكته وكتبه ورسله واليوم الآخر فقد ظل ظلالا بعيدا in that verse الله تبارك وتعالى he tells us ومن يكفر بالله anyone who disbelieves in Allah وملايكته and his angels and at the ending what did he say فقد ظل ظلالا بعيدا that that person has become misguided a very serious misguidance he's a disbeliever because in the beginning ومن يكفر who disbelieves in Allah so you're not allowed to disbelieve in Allah nor are you allowed to disbelieve in the angels so insha'Allah وتعالى as you can see on the board I've written these points insha'Allah وتعالى the first one is what's in the middle and that is لا يتجا وز we are not allowed to surpass we are not allowed to avoid and leave off في التعليف when it comes to the definition of the angels بهم القرآن والسنة we're not allowed to go against the Quran and the sunnah in other words if you want to speak about the angels who are they? what are they? you have to go to the Quran and the sunnah the reason is because the angels are as we're going to define later علم غيبي they are an unseen universe لم نشاهدهم we never saw them ولا نغيرا and they also don't have anything so we can resemble them too so all of these things that you watch on television and you see on television they are not a correct portray of the angels because we don't know how they look and they have nothing that we can compare them to so it's an unseen world so the only place in which we can find the reality of the angels and what they are and is from the Quran and the sunnah and we're going to take that now insha'Allah وتعالى what the Quran and the sunnah has told us about the angels once I do that بإذن الله الكريم I'm going to be speaking about these two starting with this one and then insha'Allah وتعالى making this the second point بإذن الله الكريم so first of all let me speak about or let me define what the angels are as I said the definition of the angels is as follows they are an علم علم علم غيبي فهم علم غيبي they are a universe that is unseen none of us have actually seen it لم نشاهدهم none of us have seen them وليس لهم ندير and they have nothing for us to compare them to their reason لذلك فهذا ليس يمكن لنا to know them and to understand them إلا عن طريق الكتاب والسُنَّة إكسفت through the book of Allah and the sunnah of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم now what did the Quran and the sunnah tell us regarding the angels number one the first one that the Quran and the sunnah has told us regarding the angels is the first thing it's told us is that they are روحانيون the first thing that the Quran and the sunnah has indicated to us is that they have a soul as الله تعالى he says فأرسلنا إليها إليها روحانا فتمثل لها بشرا سوية the angels they have are one number one number two الله تعالى created them but الله تعالى created them من نور light the second thing that we know about the angels is خلقهم الله وعز وجل that Allah created them من نوره من نوره from light as الله سبحانه و تعالى he says خلقات الملائكة من نور that the angels are created from light the Hadith is collected by means صحيح that light that's here is a light created by الله تعالى Allah created that light also the third thing that we know about them is لا يأكلون ولا يشربون the third way is they don't eat ولا يشربون and they do not drink as الله تعالى he says ولا قد جاءت رسولنا our messengers they came to they came to with glad tidings قالوا سلامة peace on you قال السلام فما لبث أن جاء بعجل time did not go by until he came with what a piece of large amount of meat he placed it in front in front of them and when the prophet saw that their hand was not going to that direction he was in a state of fear he was also what this is not an act they used to have a concept which is if a person didn't eat your food it was as though they were bringing you bad news it was a war you wouldn't turn down a person's food so Allah tells us in the ayah that the angels they didn't push their hands forward to eat the food because the angels they don't eat they do not eat based on that verse the fourth thing that we know from them is what they are what we also know is they are they are what they are very big in their creation and they are very strong and they are large as the messengers صلى الله عليه وسلم he said I was permitted to narrate to you to inform you about an angel from the angels who are those who are carrying the throne of Allah and the prophet told us بين الشحم أدره the flap of his wing from his ayah from his ayah to his shoulders the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he told us it's a what it's a distance of 700 years 700 years just between the shoulder and the ears and that shows us what that shows to us how great and how big these angels of الله سبحانه وتعالى are the other thing that we know of them is number 5 is that الله تبارك وتعالى he created them beautiful الله تبارك وتعالى he created them in a very beautiful form as الله تبارك وتعالى ذو مرة فاستوى and as we know ذو مرة means man that in Hassan their appearance is just amazing and beautiful they are very beautiful وردالكة الله تبارك وتعالى he said about the women who came together of nebula yusuf and they were cutting their fingers off when they saw the beauty of nebula yusuf عليه الصلاة والسلام الله تبارك وتعالى he said ما هذا بشارع إن هذا إلا ملك كريم this man is not a normal human being he is an angel he is an angel so the reason why they refer to him as an angel is because the angels are a creation who are beautiful so they are beautiful the other thing that we know about them which is number 6 is that they have lot what we know about them is الله تبارك وتعالى he says to us in the Quran الله تبارك وتعالى he is the one who made جاعل الملائكة رسولا أولي أجنحة مثنى وثلاثة ورباع الله made سبحانه وتعالى for the angels wings أجنحة wings مثنى 2 وثلاثة and 3 ورباع and 4 and also other characteristics that have been told to us the fact that they come down الله تبارك وتعالى he told us that الله also told us سبحانه وتعالى they are here and they see الله told us that سبحانه وتعالى and etc so those are the definition of the Quran and the Sunnah regarding the angels now we have the definition of the angels that they are an they are an عالم غيبي our universe that we've not seen okay an unseen universe and also there is nothing for us to compare them to because we don't know them what we also know is that the way to know the angels is through what through the Kitab and the Sunnah and no other way when we look at the Quran and the Sunnah from the things that it tells us are these 6 and of course many others but these are from those things in which the Quran and the Sunnah tell us regarding the angels so now we finish this point which is having understanding of the angels is through the Quran and the Sunnah and these are the points in which a slave can find out and understand the angels and don't worry I will be speaking about إن شاء الله وتعالى maybe in this session in this class or maybe another class إن شاء الله وتعالى I will be speaking about what effect should it have on you believing the angels how should that affect your heart and your iman and without a doubt إن شاء الله وتعالى we will be speaking about إن شاء الله وتعالى believing in the angels believing in the angels is of two types an iman which is مجمل a belief which is general generic comprehensive and a more detailed belief which is إيمان المفصل is more of a detailed belief إن شاء الله وتعالى I will explain what the difference is إن شاء الله وتعالى let's go to الإيمان المجمل إيمان المجمل means that you believe in the existence of the angels and this belief which is الإيمان المجمل is the قدر is the limit if you don't come with that much you're a disbeliever you are a disbeliever if you don't believe that the angels exist and you say I don't believe that then you're a disbeliever you're a kafir because you go against the ayat that I mentioned the verse of Allah he says وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَنَّا رُسُلَنَا we sent our prophet what? إبراهيمة بالبشراء قالوا السلام قالوا السلام فما لبث أن جاء بإحجل حنيد فلما رأى إيديهم لا تصل إليه نكراهم so this is clearly telling us that the angels came to Nabilah إبراهيم so when you say I don't believe in the angels you're rejecting this verse and also you fall under the ayah which I mentioned before إن سورة النساء الله تبارك وتعالى he says وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَلَيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَقَدْضَلَّ ضَالَا لَمْبَعِيدَا وَمَا يَكْفُرْ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَلَيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَقَدْضَلَّ ضَالَا لَمْبَعِيدَا so your disbelieving in the angels has been mentioned right next to disbelieving in Allah but the limit of belief is you have to believe in the existence of the angel okay you have to believe in the existence of the angels that they do exist and rather the disbelief of the angels wasn't something very common even those who disbelieved in the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم who disbelieved in the resurrection who didn't want to take the the religion of Islam they did believe in angels قوموا عاد if you look at them تمود if you look at the people of Lord if you look at the people of نبلهي محمد قريش they believed it that's why they said to their prophet what did they say if Allah willed and wanted to send a message to us then he would have sent an angel why is he sending you instead of why is he sending you and not an angel you see so disbelieving in the angels is a view held by a minority the overwhelming قوموا they believed in the angels so it means to believe in the existence of the angels that they exist and that you don't reject them that's what it means الامان المجمل الامان المجمل entails and it means الامان بوجودهم that you believe there are angels that exist that's it that is the a minimum that's needed from a person if you come with that much you're a believer and you've come with the articles of faith then what's needed from you is the second point that I'm going to be speaking about and it's more إن شاء الله تعالى explanation is الامان المفصل الامان المفصل is a bit different now ايمان المفصل is believing that comes from تبعا لفهم الكتاب والسنة a person understood the Kitab and the Sunnah and he read the religion more he now understood some extra things pertaining to the angels then it becomes obligatory on that person to believe in those so this is تبعا لنصص الكتاب والسنة it's actually extra things that a person starts to believe regarding the angels and إن شاء الله تعالى as you can see on the board I have written three things that are needed to believe the first one is الامان المفصل is to believe in their names so you actually believe the angels in which الله سبحانه وتعالى from them الله تبارك وتعالى he mentioned على سبيل تمثيل who can we say angels that Allah mentioned by name in the Quran we find Allah mentioned جبريل so number one we have جبريل we have we have we have مكائيل we have مالك who is خازن والنار we have مونكر ونكير we have هاروت وماروت and etc we have مالكون موت and we leave it at that point because some people call مالكون موت what is عزرافيل عزرايل they call it right they call it عزرايل that we don't accept because why the reason why we don't accept that is because the agreement was what in order to know the angels and to actually affirm them you had to go through what لا يتجاوز في التعريفي بهم القرآن والسنة you can't go the Quran and the Sunnah is only what says it so this name is not a name which we affirm لأنه لم يرد نصن من الكتاب من الكتاب والسنة بذلك there's no verse in the Quran or the Sunnah that actually proves that point but rather the Kitab and the Sunnah rather what's mentioned is مالكون موت the angel of death so we don't use that name عزرايل that the people call it so the first one is الإيمان will be أسمائهم now that I know after reading the Quran and I read the Sunnah I see names like ميكائيل مالك you know مكر ونكير حاروت وماروت and etc I am now going to believe those names I'm going to believe they are angels from Allah and now this this belief is actually more detailed so you have to believe them because they are verses from the Book of Allah سبحانه وتعالى the second is الإيمان بصفاتهم you are actually now going to not just believe you're not just going to believe their names but you're rather going to move on that they have characteristics and their appearance and how they look and for an example will be جيبريل right الله تبارك وتعالى or the prophet has told us that how many wings does he have ستمئة جناه he has what he has 600 he has 600 wings جيبريل and other characteristics and some of them we did mention before so we believe that now this is the characteristics of جيبريل specifically we believe it we believe it because there is a clear evidence regarding it so this falls أنداء الإيمان الإيمان المفصل and it specifically falls أنداء الإيمان بصفاتهم believing in the great characteristics of this noble prophet this noble angel of Allah سبحانه وتعالى the third one is الإيمان بأعمالهم oh roles that they have responsibilities and duties that they have for example we know that جيبريل is what موكلون أش what is his responsibility بالوحي revelation so جيبريل's job was to send revelation on prophets to send revelation on what on prophets so we know that and we believe that we also know that مكائيل for example he is موكلون أش بالقفط لي the rain مكائيل's role is and the responsibility that he has is the rain we also know what ملك الموت is what ملك الموت is his responsibility but he is موكلون بالقضل الأرواح his job and his responsibility is to take the soul of the people it's an angel of death and also from the angels are those who are commanded to write as الله تبارك وتعالى he says أم يحسبون أننا لا نسمع السرهم ونجواهم بلا ورسلنا يكتبون و الله تبارك وتعالى توزس أن the angels here ورسلنا are our angels يكتبون they are writing and other than that from the actions of the angels we believe them we believe the names we believe their characteristics and we also believe in the actions and the responsibilities that those angels are given so my beloved brother and sisters إن شاء الله وطعاله we are now going to speak about وننتقل إلى مسألة المهمة we are going to now move on swiftly إن شاء الله وطعاله onto a very important issue and that issue is وهي it is an effect the effect that believing in the angels الإيمان بالملايكة has an effect على اعتقاد العدي وسلوكي believing in the angels has actually got an effect on the past is عقيدة and it also affects the person's surook their actions so it's not just the issue which is theoretical it's not قضية which is نظري فقط that we just learned them angels names and whatnot but it actually affects our actions and our our إيمان increases from these angels إن شاء الله وطعاله that is what I'm going to be speaking about now here I said ويثمر الإيمان the fruits that come out from الإيمان بالملايكة believing in the angels the out effect and the benefits that come out of it على سلوك العبد the tradition that the person's سلوك his manners and his the way he carries himself his heart becoming sauce from it all of that what does it do believing in the angels so I mentioned too إن شاء الله وطعاله the first one being الإقتداء بهم we actually take them as role models and we follow them we follow them because فإذا كانت الملايكة مطيعين لله because if the angels are ones who obey Allah and they never disobey them فإنا نقتدي بهم في طاعة الله we actually follow them we actually follow them فإنا نقتدي بهم في طاعة الله in the obedience of Allah as Allah says in the Quran لا يعصون الله امرهم ويفعلون ما يؤمرون they never disobey Allah and they do as they are told to do Allah also tells us يسبحون الليلة و النهارة لا يفطرون they exalt Allah day and night and they never come to a time where they stop or they relax that's not how the angels are they are inconsistent worship of Allah so they are our role models they are the ones we take as our as our guides and our role models so once people say to you I don't have a role model he is actually he's actually confusing or he's lying to himself because you do have role models you have role models who are perfect you have a role model who you want to set yourself a goal in following them that's very important my beloved brothers and sisters so when we read what the angels are doing it's actually something we want to do we want to be like that we want to obey Allah like that because they are creations of Allah and so are you a creation of Allah so set yourself a high goal ولذلك ابن الجوزي رحمه الله he says in his book سيد الخاطر he says كمال العقل كمال العقل علولهما والراضي بدوني دني the believer or the person who is smart you want to know someone who is smart who is clever who you can say you know what this person is intelligent you know is an individual who has high aspirations والراضي بدوني دني and anyone who is he has low aspirations he doesn't have that high aspirations then he's low then he's dany he's dimwitted he's an idiot the one who is intelligent and he's smart and he's clever is the individual who has high aspirations unwaring conviction that he wants he wants to get there you see also he says anybody who has high aspirations he set himself a goal he's like you know what that's where I'm heading that's what I'm going to be doing that's what I want to do I'm not going to be settled anything less than that anyone who sets himself sets himself a goal like that what happens to him for كل الذي يلقى فيه محبب everything that comes in the way of whilst he's trying to get to this in the way the pains and the suffering and the fallies and the stripping and the problems and the scars that happened to him is actually something he likes he enjoys it he finds you know he laughs the marks that happened to him he's like yo I had a scarf one time when I was doing this he's happy he doesn't even feel it he enjoys it he laughs about it because his brain is in the sky and his legs are on the earth he's not on the level of these people so that's why it's important to set yourself a high goal and setting yourself a high goal is to want to be like the angels now the angels don't have free will in the sense where الله تعالى created them to be like this why would you set yourself a low goal anyways try to compete with the creation who are like that so imitating the angels acting like what they do you see the second thing is we fear Allah نخاف الله سبحانه وتعالى we are actually scared of Allah a lot and we observe Allah in the things that we do why because the angels are the ones who are documenting you said they're the ones who document writing our و يكتبونها and they're the ones who are writing it the angels are actually writing what we're doing and they are writing what we're saying and they are writing what we are all of that is things that they are documenting and we don't want these obedient creation of Allah كرام بررة righteous slaves of Allah obedient to Allah we don't want to make he is here that which is not right we don't want them to see that which is not good we don't want to put those obedient creations of Allah in those situations so we are actually scared of Allah and we are fearful and we know that the angels he has sent to us سبحانه وتعالى as I said before أم يحسبون أم يحسبون أننا نسمع سرهم و نجواهم بلا و رسلنا لديهم يكتبون the angels are writing everything which they are doing they are documenting so you are scared consistent and in a state of fear you know don't be like from those who are scared of people who can see them يخشون النساء they fear the people and they are concerned about the people but when it comes to Allah they are not concerned they are not worried they don't have that fear in them don't be like that so these angels of Allah they are writing our deeds and our actions and our speech so one is always consistently on his toes and he is always focused and he is vigilant that's the effect that it has on our إيمان it affects our our manners and the way we carry ourselves and also it affects our عقيد our belief that's part of it there are many more other things that are in there but since this series is basically a مقدمة an introduction إن شاء الله we are now going to the things that nullify your your belief of the angels what are the things that if you do or you come with it actually it actually cancels out and it deletes your belief of the angels so I'm going to be moving on to that إن شاء الله when now إن شاء الله going to go to the last point regarding believing in the angels the last point regarding believing in the angels and that is نواقظ الإيمان بالملايكة the nullifiers of believing in the angels what are the things that can nullify one's belief of the angels so there's five points that I mentioned on the board we're going to go through each one with its evidence إن شاء الله إن شاء الله and إن شاء الله إن شاء الله إن شاء الله the first thing that can actually nullify a person's belief of the angels is الإيمانbn if a person says I believe in some of the angels and the rest so excepting some angels and rejecting other angels can and it does nullify one's belief of the angels إن شاء الله إن شاء الله λέنا القرآن Ha فإنه نزله على قلبك بإذن الله مصدقا لما بين يديه وهدو بشراء للمؤمنين الله أقول سبحانه وتعالى من كان عدو لله وملايكته ورسله وجيبريلا فإن الله عدو للكافرين الله أقوله على أشخاص الوصولين who have hate for some angels like the Jews the Jews didn't like Gibreel so they rejected Gibreel as an angel and they only accepted those which they wanted or they believed in Mika'il because they said Mika'il sends down the rain and the rain is of Ben but Gibreel sends down punishments and destroys nations and we don't like him لذلك ينقذوا جيبريد وذلك هذه الفرصة يأتي بالنسبة لهم وكذلك يعتقدون أنهم يستحقون العبادة لكي يعتقدون أنهم يجبون أن يكونوا وشبت أو أنهم لديهم بعض العبادة هذا ليس ماذا أن يكون لديهم الله تعالى يخبرنا ولا يأمركم أن تتخذ الملائكة الملائكة لن يكون لديهم بعض الملائكة والنبيين أربابا أمركم بالكفر بعد أنت مسلمون فهذا يخبرنا أن الله تعالى وملائكة لا يكون لديهم بعض الملائكة لتخذ الملائكة أوهم لتخذهم ماذا لتخذهم أرباب رب لا ولا يأمركم أن تتخذ الملائكة والنبيين أربابا أمركم بالكفر بعد أنت مسلمون لن يكون لديهم بعض الملائكة ويخبرنا ملائكة ويخبرنا ملائكة العبادة هو for who Allah alone نحن نتحدث عن ذلك لذا لا يمكنك أن تعتقد أن أجلون لديهم بعض الملائكة لديهم بعض الملائكة العبادة لا They are slaves كما يقول الله سبحانه وتعالى بلهم عباد مكرمون They are slaves and honorable أردت أن أتكلم عن ذلك لأنهم يرزأون وقالوا التخذ الرحمن وولد سبحانه بلهم عباد مكرمون وقالوا التخذ الرحمن وولد سبحانه بل عباد مكرمون بل عباد مكرمون They are noble righteous slaves and they don't have no rights of عبادة لذا اتبع ذلك The next third point which is اعتقاد believing أنهم بنات الله There are some who believe that the angels are the slaves the dooters of Allah and Allah refuted them in the Quran he says أصفاكم ربكم بالملائك أصفاكم ربكم أصفاكم ربكم بالبنين والتخذ من الملائكة إناثا إنكم لتقولون قولا عظيمة الله says أصفاكم ربكم بالبنين والتخذ من الملائكة إناثا that you because what they would do is the is that they would bury the girls and they would look down at girls so they chose the boys for themselves and they chose for Allah the girls in their eyes they gave Allah what was low and they chose for themselves to have boys so that's what الله تبارك وتعالى is saying and also الله تبارك وتعالى he says وجعل الملائكة الذين هم عباد الرحمن إناثا أشهدوا خلقهم ستكتبوا شهادتهم ويسألون they say Allah's slaves were righteous they are slaves of Allah righteous slaves of Allah they said Allah took them as his dooters when they present when this was taking place they will be asked about this claim of this and this statement that they put forward they are going to be asked there gentlemen regarding it so we are not allowed to believe in it and we are not allowed to have that thought the fourth is اعتقاد أنهم يعلمون الغيب المطلق believing that that they know the unseen unrestrictedly and we don't accept that for anyone قل لا يعلموا قل لا يعلموا من في السماوات والأرض الغيبة إلا الله قل لا يعلموا من في السماوات no one knows وسن السماوات والأرض الغيبة إلا الله وما يشعرون أيان يبعثون no one knows that أصول الله تبارك وتعالى توزز وعلم آدم الأسماء كلها ثم عرضهم على الملائكة فقال انبيعوني بأسماء هؤلاء إن كنتم صادقين قالوا سبحانك لا علم لنا لا علم لنا إلا معلمتنا نحن لا علم إلا ذلك التي قلتنا أو الله سبحانه وتعالى أخر هو تنقص الملائكة تنقص الملائكة والتنقص الملائكة يعني تنقص الملائكة وتنقصهم وهذا من كان عدوة لله وملائكة ورسله وجيبريلا وميكالف إن الله عدوة للكافرين إذا كنتم خلق ومتمنة وتنقصه وبعد ذلك يجب أن تنقص الملائكة ولكن هذه are the 5 things أن إذا كنتره لا فقل به وسوف حوله يجب أن يتذكر أو أنه يجب أن يتذكر أن هذاが مباشرة الملائكة والأخبار كل ما يقل منه شيء من هذا أن الله يجب أن يسجع أفريه منها سبحانك الله وبحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفرك وأتوب إليه
