A
few Angels Sent Forth
seen around
top
left-hand corner. Only a few are visible against black
background as majority had already risen and departed after
ceremony was over about half an hour earlier. It may be
deduced that there might have been scores, even hundreds of
angels fulfilling the prophecy of Al-Mursalat.
There is a loss of quality in transfer but
this is the best image possible at the moment. More angels
are visible on the original on the right top corner.
Al-Mursalat:
Those (Angels) Sent Forth
1.
By the (Winds) Sent Forth
(5863)
one after another (to man's profit);
(5864)
2. Which then blow violently in
tempestuous Gusts
(5865)
3. And scatter (things) far and
wide;
4. Then separate them one from
another
5. Then spread abroad a Message
(5866)
6. Whether of Justification or
of Warning
7. Assuredly what ye are
promised must come to pass.
8. Then when the stars become dim;
9. When the heaven is cleft asunder;
10. When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;
11. And when the apostles are (all) appointed a time (to
collect)
12. For what Day are these (Portents)
deferred?
13. For the Day
of Sorting out.
14. And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting
out?
15. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
16. Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?
17. So shall We make later (generations) follow them.
18. Thus do We deal with men of sin.
19. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
20. Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?
21. The which We placed in a place of rest firmly fixed.
22. For a period (of gestation) determined (according to
need)?
23. For We do determine (according to need); for We are the
Best to determine
(things)!
24. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
25. Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together
26. The living and the dead
27. And made therein mountains standing firm lofty (in
stature); and provided for you
water sweet (and wholesome)?
28. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
29. (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used
to reject as false!
30. "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in
three
columns
31. "(Which yields) no shade of coolness and is of no
use against the fierce
Blaze.
32. "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts
33. "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels
(marching
swiftly)."
34. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
35. That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak
36. Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.
37. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
38. That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall Gather you
together and those
before (you)!
39. Now if ye have a trick (or plot) use it against Me!
40. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
41. As to the Righteous they shall be amidst (cool) shades
and springs (of water).
42. And (they shall have) fruits all they desire.
43. "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for
that ye
worked (Righteousness)."
44. Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.
45. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
46. (O ye Unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a
little while for that ye
are Sinners.
47. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
48. And when it is said to them "Prostrate
yourselves!" They do
not so.
49. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of truth!
50. Then what Message after that will they believe in?
surah
77:1-50 Al Mursalat (Those Sent Forth)
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy
Qur'an, 1989.)
"5863.
This surah begins with an appeal to five things, as pointing to the
substantive statements in verse 7, that the Day of Justice and Judgement
is bound to come, and we must prepare for it. It is difficult to translate
but easy to understand, if we remember that a triple thread of allegory
runs through this passage (verses 1-7.) The five things or phases, which
will be presently considered in detail, refers to (a) Winds in the
Physical world, (b) Angels in the spiritual world, and (c) Prophets in the
human world, connecting it with the spiritual world.
5864.
Understanding the reference to Winds, we can see that they are powerful
factors in the government of the physical world.
5865.
If we understand the reference to be, not to Winds, but to Angels, they
are agencies in the spiritual world, which carry out similar functions,
changing and revolutionising the face of the world. (1) They come softly,
on beneficent errands of Mercy: (2) they are charged with the mission of
punishment and destruction for sin as in the case of two angels who came
to Lut (15:57-66); (3) they distribute Allah’s Mercies as the Winds
distribute good seeds; (4) they sort out good from the evil among men; and
(5) they are the agency through which Allah’s Messages and Revelations
are conveyed to the Prophets (see No. 5 in the last note.)
5866.
If we understand the reference to Prophets or Messengers of Allah, or the
verses of Revelation which would be particularly appropriate for verses
5-6, we also get a satisfactory solution of the Allegory. (1) The Prophets
have followed one another in a series: the verses of the Qur’an came,
one after another as needed; in both cases it was for man’s spiritual
profit; (2) they caused great disturbance in a spiritually decadent world;
they pulled down evil institutions root and branch, and substituted new
ones; (3) they proclaimed their truths far and wide, without fear and
without favour; (4) through them were sorted out men of Faith and rebels
against Allah’s Law; and (5) they gave a Message, through which just men
were justified through repentance, and evil men were warned of their sins.
Some
Commentators take one or other of these allegories, and some apply one
allegory to a few of the verses, and another to a few. In my opinion the
allegory is wide enough to comprehend all the meanings which I have
sketched. I wish a translation could do justice to those marvelously terse
sentences in the original."
Abdullah
Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy
Qur’an, 1989, p. 1578.)
It is easy to understand these precise
conditions:
-
Winds
in the physical world,
-
Angels
in the spiritual world, and
-
Prophets
in the human world, connecting it with the spiritual world.
All
these three specific circumstances were met between July 14-16, 1995 at
Guru Puja, Camp Talooli, Syracuse, USA. Every Sahaja Yogi present there bears
testimony to this Truth, even though they never saw the Angels with their
physical eyes (photograph is presented as evidence).
Abdullah
Yusuf Ali and his scholars wished that "a
translation could do justice to those marvelously terse sentences in the
original." They had absolutely no answers because this was a Divine
Event that had not even manifested itself. Put simple, this verse referred
explicitly to a prophecy that yet had to take place! The entire Islamic
world is now called to bear testimony to this Revelation in the next
paragraph and confirm with their eyes if it is indeed the Truth.
The
only natural phenomenon as the Angels arrived was
the awesome display of nature — violent winds, lightning crackling and
thunder bursting all around the surrounding areas throughout Friday night.
Furious winds, rare in Syracuse, New York, cut off power supply to that
area. Throughout the night streaks of awesome thunderbolts and distant
thunderclaps blasted the surrounding area.
Kash’s
father stayed awake intermittently until early dawn to watch this majestic
nocturnal exhibition. It was the first time in his life such a massive
display of the forces of nature were seen in full fury, rare even in
monsoon Malaysia, his country of birth. For some reason there was much
lightning, as if the negativity of the entire area was being blasted away before the arrival of the Celestial Beings. Unknown to all, the Qur’anic
prophecy of Those That Are Sent Forth was being fulfilled, right
down to the precise weather conditions!
The
majority of Islamic scholars interpret surah 77:1-7 as that of Angels
descending during violent weather and these exacting conditions have been
met. The lightning, thunder and violent winds that thrashed the area
around Camp Talooli, Syracuse, USA on Friday 14, 1995, is proof that this
prophecy has been fulfilled down to the smallest detail. The next day
Allah’s Angels (Those Sent Forth) descended to attend the Sacred
Ceremony to Allah's Ruh performed by the Sahaja Yogis. This incident thus fulfils yet
another prophecy of the Qur’an, plugging all loopholes for the
Unbelievers (Al-Kafirun) to wriggle out, whether they want to
interpret it as Winds or Angles! They will not be
able to deny Allah’s Revelations and the Sure Signs (Bayyinat) of
Qiyamah. And the miracle photograph is visual proof to all humankind that
His Angels were present, and paid homage to the image of His Holy Spirit.
What excuse will humans now fabricate to deny Allah, His Ruh, His Angels, and His messengers on
Earth spreading His Announcement (An-Naba) of Qiyamah?
Islamic
scholars, century after century, find it difficult to comprehend such
simple sentences and make little sense in their interpretations.
Furthermore, they are perplexed by the diverse complexity of this verse:
-
Why
the Announcement (An-Naba) of both Salvation and Retribution?
-
When
will the Angels spread this Message of Mercy?
-
Who
are these prophets that will come for humankind’s spiritual profit?
-
How
will they cause a "great disturbance in a spiritually decadent
world"?
-
How
will they pull "down evil institutions root and branch" and
substitute new ones?
-
What
Truth will be proclaimed "far and wide, without fear and without
favour"?
-
How
will they sort "out men of Faith and rebels against Allah’s
Law"?
-
Future
generations will say that "they gave a Message, through which
just men were justified through repentance, and evil men were warned
of their sins." What is this Message and who are the Messengers?
Concerning
what are they disputing?
Concerning the Great News
(5889) about which they cannot agree.
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
Verily, verily they shall soon
(come to) know!
surah
78:1-5 Al Naba' (The Great News)
“5889.
Great News: Usually understood to mean the News or Message of the
Resurrection."
Abdullah
Yusuf Ali
The Holy Qur'an
But there is going to be massive Muslim rejection of the Great News. They will
refuse to listen for as far as they are concerned Al Qiyamah is doomsday.
May the Islamic nations who are going to
challenge Allah's Call to witness the days of Qiyamah heed its dire consequences.
But
even this warning will be discarded because the Quranic prophecy (surah
75.31-35) of Muslims returning home after hearing the announcement of
Qiyamah, and denouncing it, is now being fulfilled. Surah 75.31-35
absolutely assures that the Ummah
will defy the Great News (surah 78:1-5 An-Naba) of Qiyamah.
Be forewarned, Unbelievers (Al-Kafirun),
be forewarned!
O
ye who believe!
Celebrate the praises of Allah, and do so
often:
And glorify Him morning and evening.
He it is Who sends blessings on you, as do His angels,
That He may bring you out from the depths of Darkness into
Light:
And He is full of Mercy to His Believers.
Surah
33:41-3 Al Ahzab (The Confederates)
(Abdullah
Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989.)
"The
heavens and the earth include mankind and all other creatures and millions
of stars. Man is himself but a tiny part of creation. Why should he be so
egocentric? The whole is greater than a tiny part of it. And Allah who
created the whole of the Worlds is able to do much more wonderful things
than can enter the imagination of man. Why should man be arrogant and
doubt the Resurrection, and take upon himself to doubt the possibility of
Allah’s Revelation? It is only because he has made himself blind."
Abdullah
Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’an
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy
Qur'an, 1989, p. 1220.)
"There are profound mysteries which the knowledge of
men cannot fathom but which are open knowledge to Allah,
because He plans, guides and controls all things. The
precise time of the Hour of Judgement is one of these. We
are not to dispute about matters like these, which are
matters of speculation as far as human intelligence is
concerned. . . . When the final restoration of good values
comes, all falsehood will be exposed openly and
publicly."
Abdullah Yusuf
Ali, The Holy Qur’an
(Abdullah
Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989, p. 1207.)
12. For
what Day are these (Portents)
deferred?
13. For the Day
of Sorting out.
14. And what will explain to thee what
is the Day of Sorting out?
15. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters
of Truth!
