Ask The Imam Question and Answer

890 My question is about a poster which was displayed in the mosque about an Angel which the Prophet (S.A.W) came across on Meraj Shareef. It was a big size and had so many heads, and it was appointed by Allah (S.W.T) to do Thasbi for all those who Fast. Could you please mention it again as I have forgotten the full event and the description of the Angel.
The poster I think you are referring to is called: An Amazing Angel. The event is a follows:

The Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessing be Upon Him and His Family) said:

“On the night of Ascension (Meraj Shareef), I saw an Angel at Sidratul Muntaha that I had never seen before. It was so big in length and breadth that it would take a hundred thousand years to cover its size. It had 70,000 heads and each head had 70,000 faces and each face had 70,000 tongues. On each tongue were 70,000 birds of light and on each bird there were a hundred thousand pearls dangling. Each pearl contained a large river and there were huge fishes in the river. The size of each fish was 2 years travel time. On the stomach of each fish was written ‘Laa Ilaha Illal Laah Muhammadur Rasoolullah.’

The Angel had one hand on his head and the other hand was on his back. The Angel was in “Khazeeratul Quds”, in other words in Paradise. When he praises Allah (S.W.T) in his sweet voice, the Throne of Allah (S.W.T) is overjoyed and sways from side to side in happiness. I asked Hazrat Jibraeel (A.S) about this Angel and was told that this Angel was created 2000 years before Hazrat Adam (A.S) was created. I asked how tall and wide he was and Jibraeel (A.S) replied that Allah (S.W.T) has made a huge meadow in Paradise and that is where he lives. This Angel has been ordered by Allah (S.W.T) to pray Rosaries (Tasbeeh) on behalf of you and all those from your Nation who Fast.

I saw two large containers in front of the Angel and each one contained a thousand locks of light. I asked Hazrat Jibraeel (A.S) about them and he told me to ask the Angel. I asked that amazing Angel what those containers were for.

He replied, ‘They contain information about the freedom from the fire of those of your followers who Fast. Congratulations to you and to those from your Nation who Fast.’”
