Angels descend onto the Earh - Lailatul Qadr


According to a detailed Hadith reported by Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas Radi Allahu Anhu, our Beloved and Blessed Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam said, ‘In Lailatul Qadr, Jibrail Alaihis Salam, accompanied by a large number of angels, descends onto the earth with a green flag he hoists on the top of the Ka’bah. Jibrail Alaihis Salam has 100 arms, two of which he opens only at this night. His arms spread across the east and the west. Then Jibrail Alahis Salam commands the angels to say Salam and shake hands with every Muslim who is offering Salah or making the Zikr of Allah Almighty and to say Aameen to their supplications. This process continues till dawn (Subh-e-Sadiq).

In the morning, Jibrail Alaihis Salam commands all the angels to return. The angels say ‘O Jibrail what about the needs of the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam?’ Jibrail Alaihis Salam replies, ‘Allah has seen them with mercy and has forgiven all of them except four types of people.’

The honourable companions asked, ‘Ya Rasulallah SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam! Who are those four types of people?’ He replied,

‘(1) Alcoholics
(2) Disobedient to parents
(3) Those who break ties with relatives
(4) Those who bear malice and grudge against each other and break ties.’
