Dear Readers,
Allah (swt)
did not leave human, whom He bestowed with reason and will, undisciplined after
He created them. All works and words of human are recorded and kept by angels. It is ordered in the verses from the Qur'an that:
"But verily over you
(are appointed angels) to protect you, -Kind and
honorable,- writing down (your deeds): They know all that ye do." [Infitar, 10-12]
"It
was We Who created man, and We know what suggestions his soul makes to him: for
We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein. Behold, two (guardian angels)
appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and note them), one sitting on the right
and one on the left. Not a word does he utter but there is a vigilant Guardian." [Qaf, 16-18]
After death, people are questioned
by two angels named Munkar and Nakir. The fact that
teaching on the grave eases the questioning is also clear from the below
hadith:
"When one of you dies and is
buried, one of you may say, Remember that you accepted the oneness of Allah,
Mohammed (s.a.w.) is His servant and Messenger. Remember you accepted Allah
(Swt) as the creator, Islam as the religion and Qur'an as Imam, when you left
the world!" Munkar and Nakir angels say 'Let's leave here. Because we do
not have to stand by the person whose religion is commanded to." [Daylami,
Ibni Asakir]
Allah (swt) created the worlds
with His mercy. Allah's mercy is always on the worlds. It is stated in the
verse of Qur'an that:
"What Allah
out of His Mercy doth bestow on mankind none can withhold: what He doth
withhold, none can grant, apart from Him: and He is the Exalted in Power, Full
of Wisdom." [Fatir, 2]
# Angels of mercy
The angels
who convey the mercy of Allah (swt) to the human are called Angels of Mercy. It is ordered in the hadith that:
"Angels (of
Mercy) do not enter a house wherein there is a dog or a picture of a living
creature." [Abu Davud, Nasai]
Allah (swt)
has a lot of mercies; but His rages and punishments are also very violent. The angels perform the
punishments. It is ordered in the verses of Qaf surah which state the Hereafter
status:
• And the stupor of
death will come in truth: "This was the thing which thou wast trying to
escape!"
• And the Trumpet shall
be blown: that will be the Day whereof Warning (had been given).
• And there will come
forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear
witness.
• (It will be said:)
"Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil, and sharp is
thy sight this Day!"
• And his Companion will
say: "Here is (his Record) ready with me!"
• (The sentence will
be:) "Throw, both of you, into Hell every contumacious Rejecter (of
Allah)!-
• "Who forbade what
was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and suspicions;
• "Who set up another
god beside Allah: throw him into a severe chastisement."
• His Companion will
say: "Our Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was (himself) far
astray."
• He will say:
"Dispute not with each other in My Presence: I had already in advance sent
you Warning.
• "The Word changes
not with Me, and I do not the least injustice to My Servants." [Qaf, 19-29]
Angels pray for
the faithful people who are good to people teaching goodness to
others and show honour to others in the world:
"Angels pray for any
of you to be forgiven by Allah (Swt) while you are ritually clean." [Hakim]
”The thousands of angels pray for the believer
who meets one's need." [Ibni Mace]
"Angels pray for those
who teaches goodness to others." [Tirmidhi]
"Angels pray for the host
as long as the guest is at the dining table." [Tabarani]
Dear Readers, believing in angels
is one of the pillars of a true and perfect belief. Therefore, we must believe
what Rasulullah ordered us on the subject. We must not try to understand
Hereafter by comparing with the situations of world.
# Mature person is superior than the angels
Dear Readers,
A person with true and perfect belief,
who obeys His prohibitions and orders with sincere belief and surrender, is the caliph of Allah (swt) in the world and
superior than the angels.
"According to Ahl al-Sunnah,
the prophets who were chosen amongst people are superior than the archangels who are the prophets of angels. ... The archangels are superior than all of the people except
prophets; the righteous believers, martyrs, the people who perform good deeds
and obey the rules of religion are superior to other angels. Other angels
superior to unbelievers, factious and immoral people."[1]
Dear Readers, all perfections of the
humanity is present in Rasulullah (s.a.w.) and
Rasulullah became the maturity example for all people. Briefly, Rasulullah
represents the most advanced point of creation, honorable human being. The
hadith ordered that:
"I would not have
created the universe if you do not exist." [Daylami]
"Ya Adam! Indeed Muhammad is more beloved to me than anything
and when you asked me for his sake, I pardoned you. If Muhammad was not in
existence, I would not have created you." [Hakim]
"Ya Rasulullah, I made
you beloved and I befriended with Ibrahim. I have not created any creature more
beloved to Me than you. I created the world and the people of world to make
others know your highest level for Me.
This is certainly because the
divine mercy light appeared in the best way in the exemplary life of Rasulullah who was in
the highest level of belief and surrender to Allah (swt).
# Getting benefits from the mercy is left to free will of the human
Getting benefits from the mercy is
totally left to free will of the human. Anyone who believes in and surrenders
Allah (swt) can benefit from this mercy light, by entering divine educating
system of Allah and acquiring His virtues such as patience, compassion,
forgiveness, fairness, at the rate of his faith and surrender. They become good
servants of Allah.
Allah (swt) who is the most
merciful always helps good servants. Allah (swt) helps the
human both with angels' inspirations that direct human to good and their
prayers and protections:
"Those who bear the
Throne (of Allah), and those around it Sing Glory and Praise to their Lord;
believe in Him; and implore Forgiveness for those who believe: "Our Lord!
Thy embracest all things, in Mercy and Knowledge. Forgive, then, those who turn
in Repentance, and follow Thy Path; and preserve them from the Chastisement of
the Blazing Fire!" [Mu'min, 7]
"And grant, our Lord!
that they enter the Gardens of Eternity, which Thou hast promised to them, and
to the righteous among their fathers, their wives, and their posterity! For
Thou art (He), the Exalted in Might, Full of Wisdom." [Mu'min,
8]
"And
preserve them from (all) ills; and any whom Thou dost preserve from ills that
Day,- on them wilt Thou have bestowed Mercy indeed: and that will be truly the
highest Achievement." [Mu'min, 9]
# A person must have a true and perfect belief
Dear Readers, we
must be good servants who have perfect belief, in order to benefit from the
prayers, which are stated in Qur'an. We must not be an unbeliever. Allah (swt)
ordered to unbelievers that:
"The
Unbelievers will be addressed: "Greater was the aversion of Allah to you
than (is) your aversion to yourselves, seeing that ye were called to the Faith
and ye used to refuse." [Mu'min, 10]
"They
will say: "Our Lord! twice hast Thou made us to die, and twice hast Thou
given us Life! Now have we recognized our sins: is there any way out (of this)?" [Mu'min,
11]
"(The
answer will be:) "This is because, when Allah was invoked as the Only
(object of worship), ye did reject Faith, but when partners were joined to Him,
ye believed! the Command is with Allah, Most High, Most Great!" [Mu'min, 12]
Dear readers, the last verse of Qur'an
once more clearly states the importance of tawhid (Oneness of Allah) belief for
a correct and perfect faith. Therefore, one must never harm this basic belief
essence, which is the core of the religion.
Be entrusted to Allah.
