The Meaning of the Saying of Allah the Exalted: "The Angels and the Spirit Descend in It"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :[Al-Qadr 97:4], and the Spirit is Jibril, and the angels are the angels in general. The mention of Jibril and the Spirit alongside the angels is an instance of specifying the particular after the general. This implies the high status of the specified one, as it was singled out for particularization from among the general, just as if I were to say, for example, "I honored the students and so-and-so." This implies a greater degree of care for the one who was specifically named. The lesson we studied in this session, we hope it was a focused one.
