As You Step Out. When you're about to step out into the world, and you say this prayer, you will be protected... Bismillah, tawakkaltu ’ala Allah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa-billah In the name of Allah, I've put my trust in Allah, and there is no power or might except that which belongs to Allah. Angels in Your Presence by Omar Suleiman, Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research

In Episode #5, our beloved Imam addresses the effect of a night of sleep with wudu’ on our following  day. Did you know that not only humans work on shifts but there are in fact angels who work on a shift? Evening and morning? Their shifts begin and end at fajr and asr. The two angels of the ‘asr shift out with each other two at the time of fajr. Allah will ask them how did you leave my servant and they will answer. What is their answer? What methodology should you employ to get ahead of others? What is the effect of sleeping through the night into sunrise? Undoubtedly the five minutes of this talk will provide you with the answers to the above.

In Episode #4, the respected Imam begins our understanding the role of the angels with our night sleep. The prophet s.a.w. said when a person makes wudu’ Allah sends an angel that spends the entire night at your head supplicating to Allah to forgive His servant as he went to sleep in the state of purification. And the prophet s.a.w. said that the recitation of the Ayatul Kursi before sleep would have Allah send an angel that would stand guard and protect from the shayateen. So for how long does the angel supplicate to Allah and for how long does the other angel protect you from the shayateen? Few hours? The whole night?

Well find that five minutes which is all the time this talk takes to discover why.
