☘️THE WORLD OF THE ANGELS ☘️🤍🕊️💫✨
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
The Different Types of Angels
Jibril, Mika’i1 and Israfil
The angels are the greatest of all the hosts of Allah – glory be to
Him and may He be exalted! They include the angel who is entrusted with the revelation from Allah Almighty to His Messengers, blessings and peace be upon them. He is the Faithful Spirit,
Jibril, peace be upon him.
The Almighty says:
“The Faithful Spirit brought it down upon your heart for you to be one of the Warners in a clearArabic tongue.”
(26:193-195)
They include the angel entrusted with the rain and dispensing it
wherever Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, commands him to. He
is Mika’il, peace be upon him. He possesses a high position, a lofty station and great honour with his Lord, the Almighty and Majestic. He has helpers who do everything he orders them to by the command of his Lord. They make the winds and clouds move as Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, wishes. It says in the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas in a -Tabarani that the Prophet, may Allah &less him and grant him peace, said to Jibril:
“What is Mika’il in charge on” He replied, “The plants and the rain.”
Imam Ahmad transmitted in his Musnad from Anas b. Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to Jibril, peace be upon him:
“Why do I never see Mika ‘ il laugh?” He replied,
“Mika’il has not laughed since the Fire was created.”
They include the angel entrusted with the Trumpet. He is
Israfil, peace be upon him. He will blow three blasts on it at the
command of His Lord, the Almighty and Majestic. The first is the
Blast of Terror, the second the Blast of Swooning, and the third the Blast of the Rising for the Lord of heaven and earth. Imam Ahmad
and at-Tirmidhi transmitted that Abu Sa’id al-Khudri said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:
“How can I enjoy myself when the one with the Trumpet has raised the Trumpet to his mouth, knitted his brow and is waiting to blow.” They said, “What should we say, Messenger of Allah?” He said, “Say: Allah is enough for us and the best Guardian. We have put our trust in Allah.”
These noble three – Jibril, Mika’il and Israfil – are the leaders of the angels. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, used to say in his supplication:
“0 Allah, Lord of Jibril, Mika’il and Israfil, Bringer of the heavens and the earth into being, Knower of the unseen and visible, it is You who judges between Your slaves concerning the thirigs about which they disagree. Guide us to the truth in respect of the things about which
there is disagreement by Your permission. You guide whomever You will to a straight path.”
Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allah have.mercy on him, said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, pleaded with Allah – Glory be to Him! – by His. overall lordship and His
particular lordship over these three angels who are the guardians of
all life. Jibril is entrusted with the revelation by which hearts and
souls are brought to life; Mika’ il is entrusted with the rain by which land, plants and animals are brought to life; and Israfil is entrusted with blowing the Trumpet by which all creatures will be brought to life after their death.
Therefore Allah’s Messenger asked Allah by His lordship over these angels to’ guide him to the truth in respect of those things about which there is disagreement by His permission since in that lies all the benefits of life.
