what's the other thing that jubilee
does what else does he deal with
every nation that rejects the revelation
is also dealt with with jibril so
anytime you read about a nation and of
course allah tells us
that we destroyed them when they
oppressed when they transgressed
allah never sat jibril to destroy a
nation
simply because they disbelieved allah
sends jibril to destroy a nation when
that nation becomes aggressive with the
prophet that's been sent to them and the
believers
that's when allah sends jibreel and
jibril deals with them in a mighty way
the entire uh the people of loot ali
that entire city was destroyed by the
tip of one of jibril's wings
they were lifted up and they were
destroyed by the tip of one of his wings
so it shows you
the strength of jibril salam and in that
asayoti
he says that in that is a sign that
these angels you know
though if allah commanded him to bring
the revelation jibril
doesn't argue or debate with allah
subhanahu ta'ala and allah says okay now
these people are done
they respond to allah
enough then it's enough all right but
through him
the the life of the heart spiritual life
who's the second angel that you often
hear
even mentioned me
physical life is a portion that's how
the scholars describe him
in that sense uh provision a risk
okay provision sustenance rain
winds the angel that allah has chosen to
move them
in certain ways when allah commands him
to do so
so it's a very famous hadith in sahih
muslim where a man is walking and he
hears a voice coming from the clouds and
it says
go in water the garden of so-and-so and
the man follows that cloud and
water would not come out of it until it
reached a particular garden
and it fell on this man's particular
garden that's
okay the third the next two actually
have to do with death
so two of them are in relation to life
two of them
are in relation to death the next two is
deals with the taking of people's souls
massively or collectively okay
taking the souls collectively how allah
has created this great angel
with one task and one task alone and
that is to blow the horn
and the prophet saws i lost my appetite
for this world
when i saw is with his lips
already puckered to it his eyes gazing
at the throne of allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala fixated like stars
waiting for the command meaning the
entire world rests on
and that's it and the prophet saw some
said i lost my appetite any appetite i
had for this world
i lost it when i saw israel the fourth
one
deals with the taking of the souls
individually what's his name
actually that name doesn't exist the
angel of death he is only called the
angel of death allah and the messenger
salah referred to him as
the angel of death
who has been assigned to you to take
your souls when allah decrees
so this group of angels they are
al-mukasimati amra those that apportion
the command of allah
they're the most elite class of the
angels and the most
elite of that class is jibril
now what's jibril's name what are how
can you say the name of jibril islam
what are some of the ways to pronounce
his name
those are five ways that have been
narrated through the various
all right
okay now obviously the name is not
from an arabic origin right or it's not
something that that you know you can
you can dissect uh simply by using the
arabic language
so you go to the origin of that name now
what do you keep on hearing you tell me
what you keep on hearing
is what do you keep on hearing
right il means allah subhanahu wa
there's no dispute there about the
meaning of
the first part of the name though has
caused a lot of debate
right what does jibra mean what does
mikha mean
the traditional opinion which has been
traced to the sahaba
tibin abbas and hussain and many others
is that jibra
means means servant the slave of allah
subhanahu ta'ala
that's the one that you'll find in
tafsir tabari and so on so forth
that jibra il
which would be the smaller abd you know
in in the amongst the companions you'll
see
abdullah has a younger brother named
allah or
abdullah has a son named allah that's
the traditional opinion
however when you study the root of jibra
it comes from the root of jabar
which means strength which also ties
into another description that allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala gave him
which is shadi the one who allah
gave a massive amount of strength okay
allah
allah praises his strength two times
allah calls him
he possesses a mighty amount of strength
so it could either be
that abdullah or the one who's been
given an amazing amount of strength from
allah subhanahu ta'ala
all right so that's his name and that's
the meaning of his name
now what are some ways that the prophet
saws and allah subhanahu ta'ala
refer to him this is truly interesting
when i started my research the very
first day my eyes got big
because i started off with al bukhari i
said first i'm going to take all the
hadith about jibril from al-bukhari
the very first hadith i pulled from
al-bukhari that mentioned jibreel the
prophet saws
i was like what i studied the book of
revelation a million times
and i never paid attention to that when
the prophet salallahu alaihi wasallam
referred to jibril he often said jibreel
which obviously we usually refer to
jibreel as
may peace be on to him but the prophet
peace be upon him invoked
salawat on him as well prayers upon him
as well as the scholars say to show
his status amongst those that the
prophet saw islam was referring to the
only person that you see the prophet
saws do that with other
other than jibril or the only creature
that you see the prophet saw islam do
that with other than jabari on a
frequent basis is ibrahim
which was traditionally understood again
to show the position of ibrahim
alaihissalam or sallallahu alaihi
wasallam in our faith
right so jibril jibreel sometimes the
prophet saws would say that
all right another thing the prophet saw
islam often doesn't even say his name
you know how he refers to him
he says the one who's with my lord
right to show how close he is to allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala
um allah refers to him in
multiple ways and i can't go through
each and every single time allah refers
to jibir
islam it's too extensive of a study
inshallah in the future we'll be able to
get to it
but just the common themes the most
common theme that you find
is the word spirit
or soul okay allah calls him
the holy spirit allah calls him
the trustworthy spirit the truthful
spirit allah calls him
our spirit right which is a means of
veneration in the arabic language when
you
when you attribute something to yourself
it's a means of venerating it so when
allah says
bait allah the house of allah it's a
means of venerating the kaaba
likewise allah says about jibril islam
our
spirit as a means of venerating
now what does that mean why is jibril
constantly being referred to
as the spirit and there is so much
beauty
to the explanations that are given all
right one of them
is that jibreel brings what gives a
person
a soul what settles the heart right in
essence
you know imam sulti says
allah says weren't you dead and allah
gave you life
god gives life through what revelation
so in and some of the scholars they said
that he's
called that because he brings that which
gives you a soul in the first place
which gives you
life right and if you dissect with the
root letters
uh of then it's the same root as raha
which is to comfort which is to settle
just as the soul settles the body
jibril is that which settles the hearts
so he's called another one is that
the spirit of something means in the
arabic language the best of something
it's allah praising
the purity of jibril islam like he's the
cream of the crop
a third one which is the most
interesting one and the one that asuyuti
chooses and the one that has the
greatest evidence to it and it's quite
fascinating
is that jibril is the first living
breathing creature of allah
he is the first creature that's ever
been given a soul
without any parents without anything
without anything to you know any
prerequisites to it
he was simply brought into existence and
he was the first thing brought into
existence with a soul
out into existence
