Angels Sent Forth (Al Mursalat)



 


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!

These are beings of a different nature from man. While man is created  from soil, they are created from light. And thus human beings - except  Prophets - cannot see them in their original nature, but may see them if  they take a physical form. Our knowledge of them is therefore almost  entirely based on What God and His Prophets tell us about them. But why should we bother to know about them? Because they play a very big role in conducting our affair. To know about them could perhaps be said to be useful to us in the same manner as knowledge of the working of natural causes and other people's behavior is useful. We are told that these almost innumerable beings who are extremely powerful are created in such a way that they always obey and never go  against Divine commands, and continuously serve and never tire of serving the Lord.

But in spite of this they are - as a species - in a lower degree than  the human species, and this is symbolized in the fact that when Adam was created they were ordered to prostrate themselves before him as a sign of greeting and respect. Verse 70 of Soorah al-Israa, has been given by some as evidence of the fact that the human species is better than the species of angels.

Here are some of their activities in connection with human beings:

Their main task, the one from which their name is derived, is that  of conveying God's messages to His chosen prophets. This great honor is assigned mainly to their leader Gabriel (or Jibreel as the name is  pronounced in Arabic).

“A noble messenger having power, with the Lord of the Throne, secure, obeyed there (in heaven) and trustworthy.”

A message carried by beings of such a nature is sure to reach its  destination intact. They attend to and watch over us. They keep a record  of our good and bad deeds, and never a word we mention passes without being registered by them, either for or against us.

                                                                           

Dr. Jaafar Sheikh Idris

 


Whereof do they question one another? 
(It is) of the Awful Tidings concerning which they are in disagreement.
Nay, but they will come to know!
Nay, again, but they will come to know! 
      
                                                                           

Mohammed Pickthall, surah 78:1-5 Al-Naba'

 


Belief in the Angels
Angels, by Abu'l-Hasan Jinn 

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Belief in the angels is the second pillar of faith. "The Messenger believes in that which has been revealed to him from his Lord, and [so do] the believers. All believe in Allah, His angels and His messengers." [2 (Al-Baqarah), 285]

What are angels?

Angels are invisible beings created from light. On the authority of `A'ishah : The Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhe wa sallam said, "Angels were created from light, jinn were created from smokeless fire, and Adam was created from that which has been described to you [in the Qur'an]." (Related by Muslim) They do not have desires of their own, nor do they eat or drink. They are honored servants of Allah, and never disobey Him. They are perpetually in His service, in prostration, in a standing posture, or through various other forms of worship. "And those who are before Him are not scornful of worshipping Him, nor  do they tire or get bored. They glorify [Him] night and day; they do not halt." [21 (Al-Anbiya'), 19-20] "They are honored servants, who do not precede Him in speech, and they act according to His command. He knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them, and they do not intercede, except for those whom He approves. [21 (Al-Anbiya'), 26-27]
                                                                           

"Al-Jumu`ah" magazine by Abu'l-Hasan

 


Of what do they ask one another? 
About the Great Event about which they differ?
Nay! they shall soon come to know.
Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.
       
                                                                           

Muhammed Shakir, surah 78:1-5 Al Naba'

 


Angels
Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Of the many beings created by God, the angels are of special importance. They have been invested by God with the supernatural power to keep order in the functioning of the universe. They do not, however, deviate in the slightest from the path of God, for all their functioning is in complete obedience to His will.

Diverse and numerous events are taking place at every moment in the 
universe, for instance, the movement of the stars, the shining of the sun and moon, the falling of the rain, the alternation of the seasons, and so on. All of these, and many other continually recurring events are attended to by the angels. Working in the universe as extremely faithful and obedient servants of God, they ensure the continued existence of the human and animal species on earth.

As well as running the world’s systems, these angels, a numerous band, take charge of all matters in heaven and hell. The role of the angels can be understood by the example of a large factory. In any such factory, there are many big and complex machines which produce the goods for which the factory has been established. But these machines do not run on their own. To facilitate their smooth running many human hands are required. Therefore, in every factory there are always a number of people whose duty it is to attend constantly to their proper and efficient functioning. Similarly, countless angels are appointed to ensure the proper functioning of the great factory of the universe.

The difference between the two factories is only that in the material one, the human hands are visible, while in the metaphorical one—the great mechanism of the universe—the angels remain invisible to the naked eye. Man may not be able to see the angels, but the angels can certainly see man, and keep a watch on him on behalf of God. It is these very angels who take man’s soul away after death.
