Episode #13 informs us of the function of the angel when people remain just and fair when judging a dispute. The prophet s.aw. said that when a person is asked to judge and they do it righteously Allah s.w.t sends angels who guide them to the truth. There is a story of Omar Al Khattab who had to judge a dispute between a Muslim and a Jew. The Khalifah judged in favour of the Jew over the Muslim and the Jew said that Omar had judged correctly. Omar wanted to know how the Jew knew this. Listen to the end of this brief talk to discover the Jew’s reply to the honourable Khalifah.

In Episode #12, our respected Imam Omar Suleiman relates to us the task of the angel when a servant of Allah makes du’a for our beloved and honoured prophet s.a.w.. If a servant sends salawat (peace and blessings) upon the prophet s.a.w., Allah sends ten times of that peace and blessings on them and Jibril responds to our salawat with salams onto us.  And as if that’s isn’t enough, Allah will add ten good deeds to us, will forgive ten of our sins and raise us by ten stations. The prophet s.a.w said there are angels whose function is to look for people who send salawat onto the prophet s.a.w. and these angels convey that salawat to the prophet s.a.w. and  every single time we do that not only does Allah and the angels pray on us but the prophet s.a.w. will thereupon respond to that salawat by our name. However, this gives rise to the question : do you need to be in Madinah or Makkah for your salawat to reach the prophet s.aw.? The answer to this question can be found towards the end of this Imam’s five minu

In Episode #8, our humble Imam informs us of the role the angel plays concerning our character. The greatest test of good character is how a person of best character deals with the person of the lowest of character. The prophet s.a.w was once insulted by a man while the prophet s.a.w. was sitting with Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr witnessed those insults and when the prophet s.a.w responded with patience, Abu Bakr responded. The instant he did so the prophet s.a.w. leaves. Abu Bakr worried the prophet s.a.w. was upset with him. The prophet s.a.w. replied that when the man was insulting the prophet s.a.w. Allah sent down an angel to respond to those the insults. As soon as Abu Bakr jumped in and responded, the angel left and a shayateen came down and sat in the place of the angel, thus egging on the discord. The prophet s.a.w.  did not want to be in the presence of the devil. The prophet s.a.w said that strength is not in how you overcome another person. Rather strength is in how you overcome yourself – i.e. the one w
