What does it take to bring Jibreel to your house? ## Transcript **[0:00]** The angels who love the recitation of the Qur'an, the angels who love tawbah, the angels who love charity, the angels who love supplication, the angels who love congregations. What night is going to be more beloved to the angels than the most beloved **[0:19]** night of Laylatul Qadr, the night of the divine decree? What night are you going to have more people all over the world calling upon Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, standing up at night in recitation of the Qur'an in prayer, fasting that day, because it's the month of Ramadan. **[0:36]** What night could possibly be greater than that? And what night do the angels look forward to more than that particular night? **[0:52]** The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he talked about how many angels actually come down that night. And one of the signs of Laylatul Qadr is that the amount of the descent of angels on that night is that they would literally steal the rays of the sun, the amount of light that comes. And one of the reasons why it's called Laylatul Qadr, **[1:10]** the night of constriction is because the angels fill up the heavens. And there is so much of the traffic of the angels between the heavens and the earth that they filled it all up, carrying those praises to Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la. In Jannah, **[1:25]** they enter upon you from every door saying, Salaamun alaykum bima sabartum, peace, peace, peace. On that night, what are they doing? They're going around to all of the houses of the believers and all the masajids saying, Salaam, Salaam, Salaam, Salaam. **[1:43]** There is nothing more heaven-like than that night when the people are standing up in admiration and praise and glory of their Lord. And the Malaika recognize that. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, he said that on that night, there are more angels that come to the earth, **[1:59]** min adadil hasa, than rocks that are on the earth. If you were to take every single rock on the earth, every stone and count it, the angels outnumber them on that night of Laylatul Qadr. Abu Huraira radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu also said that there are more angels that **[2:15]** night than stars in the galaxy that come down to this earth to say, Salaam, Salaam, Salaam, Salaam. All those angels that are looking for Halaqas, all those angels that are looking for Quran, they're finding it on that night in particular. And amongst them, **[2:30]** Tanazzalul Malaika warruhu feeha amongst them is none other than Jibreel Alayhi Salam. The one who brought the Quran to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam on that night, comes down every single night to commemorate it on that night. But instead of descending upon the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to reveal **[2:48]** it to him, he's descending upon us as we recite it. And I want you to think about that Hadith where Khadijah radiAllahu Anha was in the home and Jibreel Alayhi Salam told the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam to give her my Salaam, give her Salaam from her Lord, **[3:05]** wa aqriha minni Salaam and give her Salaam from me. And to realize that while you can never be like the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and have the Quran revealed to you, but you could be one of those people who doesn't just have any angel come to your home, who doesn't just have a bunch **[3:23]** of angels surround your house and your Quran. What if it's your home? What if it's your Salaam? What if it's your place that Jibreel Alayhi Salam comes to, to particularly convey to you Salaam, the way that he conveyed Salaam to Khadijah radiAllahu Anha through the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, except this time coming to you **[3:40]** to convey Salaam as Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la sends him there. So don't just think about having any recitation of the Quran. Don't just think about having any dua. Make it spectacular and don't discount the idea that maybe, just maybe Jibreel **[3:57]** Alayhi Salam would come to your house to convey Salaam. And if anything, we know for sure that Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la, the Lord of Jibreel and the angels watches you on this great night as you recite the Quran. And may Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la accept it from us all. ## Other Episodes in "Angels in Your Presence" - [Episode 30: When Allah Loves You](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-30-when-allah-loves-you-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 29: Gatherings of Remembrance](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-29-gatherings-of-remembrance-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 28: In Your Room Praying Behind You](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-28-in-your-room-praying-behind-you-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 27: The Heavens are Creaking](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-27-the-heavens-are-creaking-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 25: From Your Mouth to an Angel's Heart](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-25-from-your-mouth-to-an-angels-heart-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 24: Struggling to Recite](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-24-struggling-to-recite-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 23: From Prayer to Prayer](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-23-from-prayer-to-prayer-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 22: The Friday Roll Book](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-22-the-friday-roll-book-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 21: The First Rows](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-21-the-first-rows-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 20: A Caller from Heaven's Gates](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-20-a-caller-from-heavens-gates-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 19: Have You Ever Seen an Angel in Human Form?](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-19-have-you-ever-seen-an-angel-in-human-form-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 18: When Your Loved Ones Are Dying](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-18-when-your-loved-ones-are-dying-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 17: An Entourage of 70,000](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-17-an-entourage-of-70000-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 16: The Ultimate Healer](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-16-the-ultimate-healer-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 15: No Strings Attached](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-15-no-strings-attached-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 14: The Seeker of Knowledge](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-14-the-seeker-of-knowledge-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 13: Be Fair When You Judge](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-13-be-fair-when-you-judge-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 12: The Best Supplication](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-12-the-best-supplication-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 11: Ameen and For You As Well](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-11-ameen-and-for-you-as-well-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 10: The Honor of Your Prophet](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-10-the-honor-of-your-prophet-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 9: Your Brother's Honor](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-9-your-brothers-honor-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 8: Responding to Your Haters](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-8-responding-to-your-haters-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 7: The Banner Above You](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-7-the-banner-above-you-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 6: As You Step Out](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-6-as-you-step-out-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 5: Switching Shifts](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-5-switching-shifts-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 4: Sleep Well](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-4-sleep-well-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 3: Fasting While Others Eat](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-3-fasting-while-others-eat-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 2: Hold Your Pens](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-2-hold-your-pens-angels-in-your-presence.md) - [Episode 1: They've Got Your Back](https://yaqeeninstitute.org/watch/series/angels-in-your-presence/episode-1-theyve-got-your-back-angels-in-your-presence.md)
