Angels in Islam (21) their second Witness

The Angels whose number is countless bear witness of Muhammad’s prophet hood and of the Quran as being revealed by Allahز

————————————————

The idolaters among the Arabs were confused about Muhammad, they were still suspicious if he is genuine prophet or not!

To make it clear for them, Allah has revealed the verses 4:163-166 that mean:

Lo! We (Allah) inspired you O Muhammad as We inspired Noah and the entire prophets after Noah,

We inspire you O Muhammad as We inspired:

  • Abraham
  • Ishmael
  • Isaac
  • Jacob and the tribes (the sons of Jacob),
  • Jesus
  • Job
  • Jonah
  • Aaron, and
  • Solomon,
  • We gave unto David the Inscribed Book (the Psalms)

We inspired you O Muhammad We inspired messengers which We have not mentioned by name in the Quran.

And Allah spoke directly unto Moses.

It is said that Allah sent eight thousand prophets in total; He sent at least one messenger or prophet to every nation on the face of the earth.

Allah has sent all these messengers:

  • of good cheer, giving the good news of Paradise for those who believe, and
  • of warning of hell for those who disbelieve in Allah,

Allah did that in order that mankind might have no argument on the Day of Judgment against Allah after sending the messengers, such that they cannot say: You have not sent us any messenger.

Allah is ever Mighty in His kingdom. He is ever Wise, in His actions.

 

Then, the idolaters among the Arabs asked the Jews if Muhammad is a Prophet or not.

The idolaters asked the Jews because the Jews are the people of Allah’ scripture.

When the Jews were asked about Muhammad’s prophet hood and they denied him, although they knew that he is the last prophet, when this happened, the following verse of the Noble Quran has revealed; it means:

But Allah bears witness:

  • of your prophet hood O Muhammad
  • of what He has revealed to you O Muhammad (the Quran), He has revealed it through His knowledge

And also, the entire Angels bear witness.

The entire world of the Angels whose number is countless bear witness too.

This is the second witness of the Angels.

O you smart reader, where you are from this second witness of countless billions of Angels that will lead you to either Paradise or Hell

The verses 4:163-166 (PICKTHAL translation):

163) lo! We inspire thee as we inspired Noah and the prophets after him, as we inspired Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and Jesus and Job and Jonah and Aaron and Solomon, and as we imparted unto David the psalms;

164) and messengers we have mentioned unto thee before and messengers we have not mentioned unto thee; and Allah spake directly unto Moses;

165) messengers of good cheer and of warning, in order that mankind might have no argument against Allah after the messengers. Allah was ever mighty, wise.

166) but Allah (himself) testifieth concerning that which he hath revealeth unto thee; in his knowledge hath he revealed it; and the Angels also testify. and Allah is sufficient witness.

Angels in Islam (20) their first Witness

The Angels whose number is countless do bear witness that there is no God save Allah.

—————————-

In the verse 3:18, Allah declared His divine Oneness, saying:

Allah, is witness that there is no God save Him.

Also, the Angels do bear witness that there is no God save Allah.

And those of knowledge, from among the Messengers, the prophets and the believers, do bear witness to there is no God save Allah.

It is Allah who is:

  • The Almighty in His Kingdom and in vengeance against those who do not believe in Him,
  • The Wise in His actions, He has commanded that none shall be worshipped except Him.
  • Constantly and uniquely maintaining his creation with justice

Allah has made it clear to His creation through proofs and signs, that there is no god and none that is truly worshipped in existence, except Him.

The entire Messengers and prophets from Adam, Noah up to the last Prophet Muhammad made it clear to their folks and people that there is no god save Allah, the Almighty and the Wise; and none that is truly worshipped in existence except Him.

Again, who are the witness for all of the above?

1)    Allah

2)    The entire world of the Angels whose number is countless

3)    The entire Messengers and Prophets from Adam, Noah up to Muhammad

4)    The entire believers who obeyed their Messengers and Prophets from Adam, Noah up to Muhammad

See how many billions of witnesses bear witness in the life of this world and will bear witness in the Afterlife that there is no God save Allah.

And, above all of them and before all of them the Almighty Creator, Allah, Himself, is witness that there is no God save Him.

Even if no one else bears witness, Allah is sufficient as a witness!

Now, where you are from this witness?

Where you are from this testimony that will lead to either Paradise or Hell?
