Chapter 15: The Angels Duly Fear and Obey Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى
] - Part 1
"The Angels Duly Fear and Obey Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى
] - Part 1
وَلَا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ۚ حَتَّىٰ إِذَا فُزِّعَ عَن قُلُوبِهِمْ قَالُوا مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ ۖ قَالُوا الْحَقَّ ۖ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ
"Intercession with Him profits not except for him whom He permits. So much so that when fear is banished from their (angels') hearts, they (angels) say: "What is it that your Lord has said?" They say: "The truth. And He is the Most High, the Most Great." "
[ القرآن الكريم The Noble Qur'aan, سورة سبإ Soorah Saba' - (Sheba) 034, Verse 023 ]
[Translation - "Interpretation of the Meaning of The Noble Qur'aan in the English Language" By Dr. Muhammad Taqiuddeen al-Hilaalee, Ph.D. and Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan, Published By Darussalam.]
Relevance of the Chapter to the Book of Tawhid
In this chapter the author demonstrates how much the angels fear Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ] though they are the strongest and greatest creatures [incorrectly] worshipped besides Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ].
Since these angels are in such a state of terror and fear of Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ], then how can they, or any other creature with greater reason, be invoked along with Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ]? Therefore, this chapter is an argument against all polytheists who invoke besides Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ] some creatures inferior to the angels.
Keywords and Phrases
- When terror is removed from their hearts: It means that when the angels are released from the feeling of great fear striking them upon hearing the Words of Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ] inspired to Gabriel [ Jibreel عليه السلام , peace be upon him ], they usually ask each other about what has just been heard.
- And He [ سبحانه و تعالى ] is the Most High: Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ] is of high dignity, superior domination and He [ سبحانه و تعالى ] is the Most Exalted.
- The Grand: Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ], Exalted be He, is the Most Great.
General Meaning of the Qur'anic Verse
Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ], Exalted be He, states that whenever the angels hear Allah's [ سبحانه و تعالى ] Words revealed to Gabriel [ Jibreel عليه السلام ], they tremble and get terrified till they become in a state similar to that of human faint. As soon as terror is released from their hearts, the angels ask each other, 'What has your Lord said? Thereupon, they reply saying, "The truth," 'And He is the Most High, the Grand' "
Lessons Drawn from the Qur'anic Verse
- The Qur'anic verse provides an argument against all polytheists who associate false deities with Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ], Such false deities are, however, neither equal to the angels nor comparable to them.
- The Quranic verse proves that speech is one of Allah's [ سبحانه و تعالى ] attributes. His [ سبحانه و تعالى ] Speech is appropriate for His [ سبحانه و تعالى ] Majesty.
- The words of Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ], Glorified and Exalted be He, are not created, because the angels, according to the Qur'anic verse, said, 'What has your Lord said?' They, however, did not say, "What has your God created?"
- Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ] is the Most High above all His [ سبحانه و تعالى ] creatures.
- Allah [ سبحانه و تعالى ] is similarly the Most Great."
