The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “So We sent upon them a wind and soldiers you did not see”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
It is derived from the noble verse the clarification of the power of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in His saying: [Al-Ahzab: 9].
It is derived from it what some scholars indicated, namely that if the wind comes alone, it is in punishment, and if it comes in groups, it is in mercy, except that it may come alone in mercy if it is described in a way that indicates this, such as the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Yunus: 22].
Among the benefits of the noble verse is that the angels are soldiers of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), based on His saying:[Al-Ahzab 33:9] If you say here that they are not attributed to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), how do you say that they are the soldiers of Allah? Because He says: [Al-Ahzab 33:9] He attributed their sending to Himself, and He said the Exalted in another verse: [Al-Muddaththir: 31] If you say, does the Lord (Mighty and Majestic) need soldiers? The answer is, of course, no, and it is not possible for Him to be in need. But why are they called soldiers even though He has no need of them? Because they carry out His command and defend His awliya (close friends of Allah), so they are in the position of soldiers. Otherwise, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) does not need them or anyone else, for He is free of need of everyone.
Among the benefits of the noble verse is that people do not see the angels, based on His saying: And that is the case, but they may see them, as people did not see Jibril when he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asking him about Islam, faith, excellence in worship, the Hour, and its signs...
and We sent upon them a wind
فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًاIt is derived from it what some scholars indicated, namely that if the wind comes alone, it is in punishment, and if it comes in groups, it is in mercy, except that it may come alone in mercy if it is described in a way that indicates this, such as the saying of Allah the Exalted:
and they sail with them by a good wind and they rejoice therein
وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِمْ بِرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحُوا بِهَاAmong the benefits of the noble verse is that the angels are soldiers of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), based on His saying:
armies [of angels] you did not see
وَجُنُودًا لَمْ تَرَوْهَاand We sent upon them a wind
فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحًاAnd none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him
وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَAmong the benefits of the noble verse is that people do not see the angels, based on His saying:
