HOW MANY ANGELS ARE IN EXISTENCE?

HOW MANY ANGELS ARE IN EXISTENCE?

There is an Angel named Rooh, who has seventy thousand heads, Each head has seventy thousand faces, and face contains seventy thousand mouths. Each mouth is made up of seventy thousand tongues and each tongue is blessed with seventy thousand languages. 

(Imam Badruddin Mahmood Ai’nee RadiyAllah Anhu in his book Umdatul Qaari Sharah Sahi-ul-Bukhari, Tafseer Al Kabeer, Tafseer Ibn Kathir, Tafseer Qurtubi, Tafseer Durrul Mansur, Bayhaqi)

“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 the rest of the three Angels until the Day of Judgment”. (i.e. the number of different languages in which the Angels Glorify Almighty Allah will be 1 680 700 000 000 000 000 000 000) All Praise is due to Almighty Allah Who is Infinite and so are His Attributes and Glory!

Waseelah through the remnants of The Prophets of Allah

Waseelah through the remnants of The Prophets of Allah

[Baqarah 2:248] And their Prophet said to them, "Indeed the sign of his kingdom will be the coming of a (wooden) box to you, in which from your Lord is the contentment of hearts and containing some souvenirs (remnants) left behind by the honourable Moosa and the honourable Haroon (Aaron), borne by the angels; indeed in it is a great sign for you if you are believers."

Summary of The Tafsir of the above Verse;

The wooden box was three yards long and two yards wide. It was bestowed by Allah to Hazrat Adam. It contained the natural photographs of several prophets and it had been passed on from one Prophet to another until it reached Prophet Moses . 

It remained with Bani Israel at which time it also contained the staff and sandals of Hazrath Musa Alaihissalam, the staff and turban of Hazrath Haroon Alaihissalam , and some pieces of the Tablet (of Torah). At the time of battle, the Bani Israel used to place this wooden box in front and by its blessings Allah used to grant them victory. 

And whenever Bani Israel had some need, they used to place it in front of them and supplicate to Allah, and their need used to be fulfilled. Later on when Bani Israel fell into sin, Allah imposed upon them another nation called Amalikah, who abused them and took the wooden box away from them. 

The Amalikah placed this sacred box in a filthy place. This defilement brought Allah’s wrath upon them, destroying several of their towns. An old woman from Bani Israel who was with them, advised them to banish the wooden box. The Amalikah tied two rowdy bullocks to a cart and placing the wooden box on it released it into the open country. The angels brought the bullock cart to the new king of Bani Israel (Taalut). 

When the box reached them, Allah granted them victory. This had been foretold to them by their Prophet Shamweel عليه السلام according to the above verse.

Status of Martyrs in Islam - इस्लाम में शहीद का मर्तबा

Status of Martyrs in Islam - इस्लाम में शहीद का मर्तबा

How fortunate are those for having tasted the death with the remembrance of Nabi e Kareem ﷺ and that too on the most exalted day.

And how unfortunate are those for making themselves eligible for Hell fire by killing the Muslims and that too during the remembrance of the One (ﷺ) whose Kalima has to be recited in order to be called a Muslim.

Surah Nisa : 93

And whoever slays a Muslim on purpose, his reward will be hell – to remain in it for ages – and Allah has wreaked wrath upon him and has cursed him and kept prepared a terrible punishment for him

May ALLAH TA’ALA elevate the status of those Martys

नबी ई करीम ﷺ की याद में मौत का स्वाद चखने वाले वे कितने भाग्यशाली हैं और वह भी सबसे ऊंचे दिन। और मुसलमानों को मारकर खुद को नर्क की आग का पात्र बनाने वाले कितने दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण हैं और वह भी उस एक (One) की याद में जिसकी कालिमा को मुस्लिम कहलाने के लिए सुनाना पड़ता है।

सूरह निसा: 93

और जो कोई भी उद्देश्य से एक मुसलमान को मारता है, उसका इनाम नरक होगा - उम्र के लिए इसमें बने रहने के लिए - और अल्लाह ने उस पर क्रोध किया है और उसे शाप दिया है और उसके लिए एक भयानक सजा तैयार रखी है
