So you see these incidents online where a person is walking
on the street and they don't see a bunch of cars that are
coming and a Truck this huge truck is about to collide into
them and then suddenly it's as if arm just pulls that truck
away and it goes in a completely different direction or someone
who misses four cars and they Collide and that person just
stands there and they're okay or in some situations
You see someone that is involved in a freak accident and
you know, the guy that's jogging on the beach and then suddenly
a plane hits him while he's jogging on the beach or something
along those lines and it's like you witnessed Divine decree
and precision, you witness that qadr of Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala, of that perfect qadr of Allah and then relate
that to your own self, you know, sometimes you're on the
highway and you're driving and you're supposed to be in a
car accident, you know, you're doing something that distracts
you and then in that moment of distraction something horrible
is about to happen and then you see what happens around you
and you say SubhanAllah, Allah protected me those that have seen
their children, you know fall and if they would have fallen
just a little bit differently, right? then it would have hit
the back of their head or this would have happened or that
would have happened and it would have been catastrophic. all
of these things that we witness in our lives obviously speak
to the overwhelming power of Allah subhanaw
Taala, but they have something to do with the angels as well.
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says that every single person has
a guardian angel in front of them and behind them
that Protect them from the decree of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
now that concept requires a lot of reflection.
Number one: the mercy of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, you know,
we're always so paranoid about the devils, the devils, the
Shaiytain
They're everywhere, the jinn, the jinn, every single human being
has only one shaitan on assigned to them and four Angels assigned
to them. now everything else that's invited into
your life of Angels or Devils is invited as a result of your good deeds
Or your bad Deeds, but every single person has proportionally
speaking four angels that are with them and only one devil,
two angels that protect you and wo angels that record on
you. Okay?
So the two angels that record and the two angels that guard
you but only one satan that Whispers And temps, but of
course environments and deeds invite more Angels or more
shaaytin
But what are those Guardian Angels do and what role do they
play in our lives?
Number one;
They're always with you. there
With you during the day, there with you when you sleep at
night, they are with you for the most significant and insignificant
moments of qadr, moments of divine decree in your life.
Mujahid (rah), He said that those angels protect you from any wild animal,
from any riding animal, from any beast, from any person who
wants to harm you, ... an aunt that
would be in your ear.
If the decree is not upon you to be harmed those angels will
shoo away those bugs, they will push away those objects that
are coming your way and protect you.
Ali (ra), he said when he was
told that there was a tribe, the tribe of Murad and they were
planning to attack him.
He said that they cannot harm me with anything
Unless Allah (swt) has decreed it, for Allah has set
up guardian angels for each person.
And the only time that a person is harmed is when those angels
are told to stand down, when they move out of the way and
that's what Ibn Abbas (Ra),
He said that out of obedience to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala
those angels will protect you and they will be there for
you and they will only move out of the way when Allah (swt)
had decreased otherwise and this is a powerful concept
on an individual level because you think about the story
of the prophets (saw) and jibreel alehissalaam protecting
him from his enemies or the Muslims in the Battle of Badr
and the angels being sent in hundreds to protect them to
where the Muslims could even see.
That their enemies were being thrown off of their horses
and the sound of a whip crackling on someone and they don't
see the Whip and they don't see who's actually you know,
who's actually doing it, but they were just seeing these
things happen in front of them or the prophet (saw) was
talking about the end of times where the Dajjal would try
to enter into Medina, but he would find Angels at its gate
that are protecting it from all directions. in our own individual
lives. If you think about that ibn abbas (Ra)
mention that you have these angels that are
in front of you and behind you and the only time, the only
time that they step aside is when Allah (Swt) decrees
that harm is coming to you and that harm is what was decreed
in the womb also written by an Angel that your date of death
your lifespan.
And that moment for you to go is now and so those angels
move aside when the decree of death comes your way only for
your soul to be transferred to another group of angels.
