Angles Descend upon persons who are trying to becomes Pious. by Mufti Rashid Ahmed Ludihanvi http://www.khanqah.com/articles/misc_eden_of_heart.htm
The faith of Muslims is so strong that if the whole world unites to destabilize it, even then they can't do so. " The angles decent on them (from time to time):"fear you not! (they suggest), Nor Grieve! But receive the glad tidings of the garden (of bliss) the which you were promised!" When does this happens? Some interpreters said that it will happen in JANNAT and some said at the time of death the reality is that it will happen in life before death, when a fellow becomes a true and an obedient one and why should it not happen? The whole world calls him mad insane. The relatives even the parents the parents oppose him. This slave of ALLAH TAALA replies to their criticisms. " If the whole human race becomes angry with me, I don't care, the consent of the beloved matters. It is enough if one consider His concords first and then decide what he should do and what he shouldn't." If the whole world is against, it doesn't matter, it is fine if the LORD (ALLAH TAALA ) is pleased, how much courage is produced? If angles did not support his heart then how could this be possible. As the angels reinforced the SAHABAH-E-KARAM in the field of Badar where HAZOOR-E-AKRAM was also present. At first Allah Taala reinforced the SAHABAS by thousand angles. Then it was increased to three thousand and finally up to five thousand. Though only one angle was sufficient. He would have destroyed the whole army, as the nation before were destroyed and ruined; HAZRAT GIBRAIL, alaihissalam, once lifted up the whole village and while turning it up side down threw it back. When one angle has so much of strength then you can imagine the strength of thousand of angles. These thousand of angle were sent in honor of the SAHABHS other wise there wasn't a need for such many. The point to think here is, the group of SAHABAHS were the most favorite of ALLAH TALLA, The whole nation (UMMAH) stands no where in comparison with them. Secondly ALLAH's prophet HAZRAT MOHAMMAD MUSTAFA was also present with them, even ALLAH TAALA made to descend thousands of angles. Now when fourteen hundred years have passed, a Muslim who is weak and feeble, and considering his remoteness from HAZOOR-E-AKRAM's time what do you think? Will ALLAH TAALA leave him alone? Not at all. This is just abusrd. This Muslim is very feeble and more deserving for ALLAH's mercy. If then five thousand angle descended then today twenty thousand are required to descend instead they are being descended. If it wasn't so then how was it possible that such courage was generated in the hearts of Muslims. How could he face bare handed the battalions of the Satan. It's for sure! ALLAH's invisible help is accompanying him, the angels are descending upon him and are helping to build up the courage. Prayer. May ALLAH TAALA make all of us His real true fellow creature. Make us true and strong Muslims. Give us the courage and the passion to think for the world here after . In last repeat the invocation again.
