As Gabriel flew towards the gates of Earth with the blessed message in his hands, he was stopped and questioned by the angelic guardians, “For what reason are you parting away from the Heavenly Realm of God and flying to the world of humans, where corruption and sin is the occupier of their every solitude?”
As Gabriel flew towards the gates of Earth with the blessed message in his hands, he was stopped and questioned by the angelic guardians, “For what reason are you parting away from the Heavenly Realm of God and flying to the world of humans, where corruption and sin is the occupier of their every solitude?”
Gabriel’s
wings tightened around his body, and he flew down to
respond to the guardians of the Earthly gate. He
answered, “Today is that promised day…when this
message in my hands shall tremble the heart of the
most virtuous of all devout men. Today Allah, Glory
be to Him, has opened the doors of His Rahma and
Hiddaya unto mankind. Today the seeking soul of a
devout servant of God shall be reawakened, and the
soul of every transgressor and idolater of Mecca
shall tremble and shatter. Indeed today shall be a
day to rejoice, for the Gracious One has completed
His Blessed revelation unto mankind and jinn, for if
He had not…surely the world would have remained in
the darkness of ignorance and would have been led
astray by the temptations of the wicked souls.”
As Gabriel, the ever obedient messenger of God, finished his last inspired words, tears of joy and delight were streaming down from the faces of the blissful guardians. The golden gate of Earth had already been opened and the road paved for the angelic messenger, Gabriel, to descend to the tarnished world of humans.
As Gabriel flew towards the tempted essence of Earth, he took one last glance at the gaurdians’ faces and heard them say, “Blessed is the servant of God who will be brought down this glorious message-"
***
As Mohammed sat in the darkened cave, he implored to his Lord to give guidance and grant forgiveness to the transgressors… and then suddenly appeared what seemed to be a message glowing from the tendered hands of Gabriel… the darkened cave was now shining more than ever.
Gabriel held out the message to the teary eyes of Mohammed and ordered, “Iqra!"
And with this simple word,the word which sparked the relentless search for knowledge, did the spark of Islam ignite…and may it forever flourish and prosper in peace and tranquility. Ameen
