Qiyamat Ki Alamaat

Book Name:Qiyamat Ki Alamaat

Dear Islamic brothers! We can learn a lot from the aforementioned Hadees. Let us listen to a few points that can be taken from this blessed Hadees:

The first thing we learn is that light can come in human form. Sayyiduna Jibraeel-e-Ameen عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام is a creation of light (Noor), i.e. an angel, in fact, he is the leader of all the angels, and it is stated in Sahih Muslim, that the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: ‘Allah Almighty created the angels from light.’ (Muslim, p. 1221, Hadees 7495)

Thus, we come to know that Sayyiduna Jibraeel-e-Ameen عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was made from light, but despite being made from light, Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام came to the court of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in the form of a human such that the noble companions رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُم did not recognise him. So we learn that just as Sayyiduna Jibraeel عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, despite being a creation of light, came to this world in the form of a human, our Beloved Prophet, the Master of Both Worlds صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also came to this world in the form of a human despite being created from light.

Sayyiduna Jabir Bin Abdullah Ansari رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُما states: (that) I humbly asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah (صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)! May my mother and father be sacrificed upon you! Inform me of the first thing that Allah Almighty created.’

The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied, ‘O Jabir! Indeed, before the entire creation, Allah Almighty first created the light of your Prophet (صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) from His own light.’ (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 30, p. 658; Musannaf Abdur Razzaq, p. 63, Hadees 18)

Belief: No doubt, the being of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is light upon light, however, He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was bestowed with a human form also; just as Allah Almighty states in part 16, Surah Al-Kahf, verse 110:

قُلْ اِنَّمَاۤ اَنَا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ یُوْحٰۤى اِلَیَّ

Say you (O Beloved), ‘In apparent human appearance; I am like you, revelation comes to me

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 16, Surah Al-Kahf, Verse 110)
