DARS 62: HOW THE ANGELS AND THE JINN
TALK TO HUMAN BEINGS
And he said, may Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta‘ala) be pleased with him.
When I was in Makkah, a man came and asked me how the jinn talk to one another, and how the jinn talk to the angels, and how the jinn and the angels talk to people. Are their letters just like our letters?
So I said that this is talk and talking is in many ways. For example, communication with things like the telephone and the telex and other things is different. The address by some souls to others happens in the world of the souls. If he is with the angels, he understands their speech and they understand what he says. Allah makes them understand and each one addresses what is in the mind of another. But as far as bodies are concerned, Allah has restricted them to following. And the root of the talk is in the heart, and as far as the tongue is concerned, it is a proof.
A poet has said:
Indeed, the talk is in the heart
and when expressed by the tongue, it is a proof that it is in the heart.
When the angels talk to you or address you, they talk to you with the soul from the heart. And when a person’s heart is clean, the angels who are with him come and talk to him. And some souls understand the talk of other souls with letters, or with indications, just as some birds talk to others, just as Sayyidina Sulayman (‘Alayhissalam) said, (as mentioned in the Qur’an).
“O people, we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given all things. Most surely, this is a manifest Grace (from Allah).” (27:16)
And this talk is known by Friends of Allah authorized by Him, who turn to Allah in repentance. In this world, there are for Allah (chosen) people from the human beings and their head is the qutb (spiritual pillar, greatest saint). And the qutb has under him abdaal (substitute saints) and awtaad (mainstay saints). Under him (the qutb) is a community (of saints) in each region from different regions who distribute things but they do not distribute what is with them except by the Command of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
