I remember coming across this NASA study,
our universe is not silent and it captured all of the sounds in outer space
because there's this idea that there is no sound in space because it's foreign
to us and I thought about this Hadith of the prophet (pbuh) where the prophet (pbuh)
said that the heavens are creaking and there's a reason why they
have a right to Creek.
He said (pbuh) because there is not a span of four
fingers except that there is an angel that is standing, bowing,
prostrating and glorifying Allah (swt), in every single space in the
heavens and "Subhan Allah", when you listen to the sounds even to us,
to what our ears can capture.
It's almost like you could hear chance and shaking,
but of course what the angels are actually praising Allah (swt)
with, and the way that they're glorifying Allah (swt) and the creaking of
the expanding heavens as more angels are of course even being created to fill
that expansion. That is something that only Allah (swt),
hears to its full extent.
You think about what it would be like to pray with all of those angels and we
talked about, you know, having angels the size of mountains, praying with you.
Even if you're praying in your room,
70,000 angels accompanying you in all of these Malayikuh, the prophet (pbuh).
said something really profound about our "Salah" with those Malayikuh.
He said (pbuh) that.
When the Imam says "Amin" than say "Amin" as well for if your "Amin" coincides
with his,
"Amin" his "Amin" coincides with the "Amin" of all of the angels.
So the Malayikuh say "Amin" The angels say "Amin" when the Imam says "Amin",
so say "Amin" also, and the prophet (pbuh) said.
If you say at that time he said that all of your previous sins would be
forgiven. So all of you are saying, "Amin", it's not just the Imam,
it's the Musaliyn.
Those that are praying behind the Imam and all of the angels that are joining
as well.
He also said (pbuh) that when the Imam says "samie Allah,
liman hamdah" Allah has heard the one who has praised him and we say,
"Rabana walak alhamd" and to you our Lord belongs all praise.
The prophet (pbuh) said that when you say that,
the angel say it as well,
and if your "Rabana walak alhamd" coincides with the Malayikuh,
coincides with the angels, then all of your previous sins are forgiven.
So it's not just this congregation,
it is this entire congregation of Allah (swt).
as worshipers coming together in unison to say,
"Amin" to say "Rabana walak alhamd".
There's a beautiful incident where the prophet (pbuh) was leading
the Sahabh in Salah and as he says, "samie Allah liman hamdah",
Allah has heard the one who has praised him. He heard a man behind him say,
"Rabana
walak alhamd, hamdaan kathiraan tayibanaan mubarakana fih" "Rabana walak alhamd" to you.
our Lord belongs all praise.
A praise that is pure "hamdaan kathiraan" plentiful, "tayib",
pure, "mubarakana fih", and bless it,
"Hamd" a praise that is plentiful, pure and blessed.
And the prophet (pbuh) when he finished the prayer, he said,
who amongst you said "Rabana walak alhamd, hamdaan kathiraan tayibanaan mubarakana fih" and a companion said it was me.
Oh, messenger of Allah. He said,
I saw 30 angels rushing trying to catch your "hamd",
trying to catch your praise so that they could have the honor of recording that
"hamd" with Allah (swt).
recording that praise with Allah (swt).
So when you are praying and you say " Rabana walak
alhamd" when you say "Amin"
And of course there's the "Fiqh" whether it's silent or loud, but you say,
"Amin" as the Imam says, "Amin",
and you say "Rabana walak alhamd, hamdaan kathiraan
tayibanaan mubarakana fih" As you're praising your Lord,
know that you have angels that are praising with you and angels that are
recording your praise and taking it up to the most praise warning.
