Summary

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves into the topic of belief in angels in this excellent and contemplative talk. The Shaykh discusses at length the characteristics of angels that sets them apart from mankind and the noble qualities that the angels portray, primarily, endless worship and praise for Allah Almighty SWT. They came into existence eons before us and will remain till the end of time with the only sole purpose - worshiping and obeying Allah. In spite of having spent millennia in the worship and praise of Allah , the last words of angels when they taste death would be - How we wish we had worshiped and praised you in a more better manner! SubhanAllah! Citing the story of the creation of prophet Adam AS, Shaykh Yasir expounds on the age old question - is mankind better than angels or is it vice-versa?  A reflective talk, by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi!

iman in the comes under what is called Ilema Gai. The very first verse in the Quran

1:03.8

Allahhānā yup minuna bil gai. Those who believe in the unseen. So the Malaika

1:10.2

the angels are a part of the world of the unseen. We cannot prove them scientifically,

1:15.7

we cannot measure them. It is something that we must believe in and we are tested by

1:20.7

Allah's in this belief. So all of the knowledge we have of the

1:25.6

Malaika it comes from our sources it comes from the Quran and the Sunna it is not

1:30.6

something that we can derive merely by thinking or contemplating.

1:34.5

And from what we know, and of course this is again as usual a summarized lecture,

1:38.5

from what we know that our Prophet Salalah Law who Ayyasanam has told us

and is found in the Quran that the Malaika are a separate species created

by Allah Subhana from light.

Our Prophet-Alah, who Ali-Wasalam, said that the Mana Ika have been created from Naur and the Jin have been created from Naur and

1:58.7

mankind has been created from a mixture of clay. So Noor, light is the source of the Malaica and NAR fire is the source of the gin and we have been created from clay. And we also know from the Quran the story of Adam that the angels were

2:14.9

created many, many millennia before us and when Allah Azujan announced that we
