The love of the angels for what they do in worshipping Allah the Exalted in the most perfect manner, and their seeking forgiveness for the believers.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Thirdly: The love of the angels for what they do in worshipping Allah in the most perfect manner, and their seeking forgiveness for the believers". We love them for two reasons:
The first is their standing in obedience to Allah. It is obligatory for us to love everyone who stands in obedience to Allah, whether they are angels, humans, or jinn. It is obligatory for us. This is the love for the sake of Allah, which is one of the strongest ties of faith. So we love the angels because they carry out the command of Allah and seek forgiveness for the believers.
The second reason for loving them is that they seek forgiveness for us.
These are noble fruits of faith in whom? In the angels. It is not meant that we believe in the angels in a theoretical way, saying that we know there are angels who do such and such and do such and such. These fruits must be in our hearts. There may be other fruits, but we have mentioned these according to what was facilitated.
