DARS 64: ANGELS APPEAR BEFORE THE PIOUS
TO INSPIRE AND INFORM THEM
And he said, may Allah be pleased with him.
The angels do not disobey Allah in what they are commanded and they do whatever they are commanded. Allah Commanded them to prostrate before Nabi Adam (‘Alayhissalam), hence they have been appointed to serve us in the world. It has been said that behind every person, there are such and such a number of angels who follow him.
(Allah says in the Qur’an):
And He sends guardian angels over you. (6:61)
Some have said: Indeed, man is commissioned with three hundred angels but he does not see them. And indeed, Allah has spread many guardian angels in existence. They guard us with a Command from Allah. And from the angels, are angels of inspiration who inspire mankind about some things. Glorified is the Wise (Allah). And, the angels appear to many people who are Knowers of Allah through direct experience, the pious, even the common people. If Allah intends to honour him, an angel appears to him and says, “do this and this”.
And some of them inform about things that will happen in the world, or will manifest to him personally or to someone else. And the angels appear to people in the form of a man, like Sayyidina Jibril (‘Alayhissalam) appeared before Sayyidatina Maryam (‘Alayhassalam).
And he appeared before her as a man in all respects. (19:17)
The angels appear many times like normal people, especially in journeys.
