Come Back

I really hate how there are no educational or spiritual lectures offered at my local masjid...I tried to push for it but nothing happened. I miss high eman levels...only happens when you have that knowledge in my opinion .... my blog was mostly of notes and things I learned form the lectures I used to attend. Even the Dr.Islam lecture that came back is always cancelled , and its a far drive for me =( 

The Story of Jibreal Omar Suleiman

The Story of Jibreal

 Omar Suleiman

Jibreel- Mikeal- the end sound of el means sAllah

Jib comes from the arabic word which means straight
Jibra also means servant

Allah describes Jibreel as a strong angel

Prophet Muhammad held Jibreel in such a high regard that he refers to him as " the one who is with my Rabb"

Allah refers to Jibreel as "Al Roh " the spirit  Al Roh Al Quds "The Holy Spirit"
Spirit because Jibreel brings spiritual life , Jibreel brings the soul


The very first creature to be given  soul is Jibreel.

Jibreel is also named "Namous" which is opposite of "Jasous"

Namous is the one who conceals a beautiful secret, jasous is the one who carries a evil secret


Looks of Jibreel: he can appear as a human

During the journey of the Israa and Maraj  the Prophet described to us how some of the Prophets looked. He said that I never seen a man resemble me more then Prophet Ibrahim.

He said that Jibreal looked like a man named Dihya  who was a companion of the Prophet. He was one of the most handsome man of his tribe at the time, they described him as the Prophet Yusuf of their tribe.

Prophet used Diehya in a wise way, when they went out to Jerusalem Prophet sent Dihya , and when Dihya showed up in Jerusalem the entire city came out to see him for his good looks.

The Prophet said when Allah created the Jannah and Naar, Allah sent Jibreal to see Jannah, Allah told Jibreal to go see what He has prepared for his ibada.

Allah always speaks to Jibreal directly , Jibreal then can relay the message to other angels.

Any Prophet that came had conversation with Jibreal


Angel Jibreal in the life of Prophet Ibrahim in Surat Al Dhariyat

In these ayas, angel Jibreel with other angels went to visit Prophet Ibrahim to deliver the news that his wife Sara who is old is going to have a son who is going to be intelligent and knowledgeable of Allah. This news is a miracle from Allah. The aya starts with how when the angels were at the Prophets house , Prophet Ibrahim serves the best food to the angels, but the angels cannot eat or drink, him and his wife did not know of this.

24. Has the story reached you, of the honoured guests [three angels; Jibrael (Gabriel) along with another two] of Ibrahim (Abraham)?

25. When they came in to him, and said, "Salam, (peace be upon you)!" He answered; "Salam, (peace be upon you )," and said: "You are a people unknown to me,"

26. Then he turned to his household, so brought out a roasted calf [as the property of Ibrahim (Abraham) was mainly cows].

27. And placed it before them, (saying): "Will you not eat?"

28. Then he conceived a fear of them (when they ate not). They said: "Fear not." And they gave him glad tidings of an intelligent son, having knowledge (about Allah and His religion of True Monotheism).

29. Then his wife came forward with a loud voice, she smote her face, and said: "A barren old woman!"

30. They said: "Even so says your Lord. Verily, He is the All-Wise, the All-Knower."

When Prophet Ibrahim finished building the Kabah , He asked Allah how do we make the ritual of Hajj. Jibreel taught  Prophet Ibrhahim how to make the Hajj, and they made Hajj together.

Prophet Ibrahim is buried in Khalil Palestine.

Angel Jibreel in the Story of Prophet Yusuf: Surat Yusuf

In the story of Prophet Yusuf , when Yusufs brothers placed him the well , Jibreel was at the bottom of the well to catch and help the Prophet.


Angel Jibreel in the Story of Maryam : Surat Maryam

Maryam was a young women when she was notified about her son. Angel Jibreel is the one who appeared to her to tell her the news that she was already pregnant as he tells her "Kana Amar Maqdeyah" which means its already destined and she is already pregnant.

When she started to fell pain from the child birth she screamed how she rather die before this and be forgotten, again angel Jibreel appears to support her, and he tells her about the well.  At this moment she wanted to be forgotten but now she has a whole Surah named after her subhanAllah.

17. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh [angel Jibrael (Gabriel)], and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects.

18. She said: "Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Beneficent (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah."

19. (The angel) said: "I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son."

20. She said: "How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?"

21. He said: "So (it will be), your Lord said: 'That is easy for Me (Allah): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah).' "

22. So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem).

23. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said: "Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!"

24. Then [the babe 'Iesa (Jesus) or Jibrael (Gabriel)] cried unto her from below her, saying: "Grieve not! Your Lord has provided a water stream under you;

 Jibreel helped the mother of Ismail for the well to gush water between the Safa and Marwa. He said if she didn't crave the well a certain way it would have gushed all over the world.  Think about this as the ZamZam well is still pumping water until this day.  Its a miracle , it pumps up to 60091 million liters a day of water. It is a miracle  that Jibreel helped in.
