Jibril Quotes

How many times have you seen Muslims quote an ayah of the Quran and their eyes were full of anger? Let me tell you, that is not how Angel Jibril brought the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and that's not how our Prophet recited the Quran to his people.

They asked a wise man: Why don’t we ever hear you backbiting and slandering? He said: I’m still not happy with myself to start with others.

باحلم يا ليلي .. وهفضل احلـــــم لحد ما يطلع لك فجر

Khudi Ko Kar Buland Itna Ke Har Taqdeer Se Pehle Khuda Bande Se Khud Puche, Bata Teri Raza Kya Hai

The Intelligent Questioner It is said that a beggar went to a rich man from Khurasan and asked for help. He heard him say to his servant, "O Gold, say to Gem, to say to Jewel, to say to Sapphire, to say to this beggar that we do not have anything." The beggar raised his hands to the sky and said, "O my Lord, say to Jibril, to say to Israfil, to say to Mikail, to say 'Izrail to take the soul of this miser.

But... If you hide the truth to keep Mika from suffering, the situation will never change, will it? I think real friendship would be to let him face his own suffering, and help him conquer it. Isn't that when he really needs you most?

Percaya sama Saya, Allah itu dzat yang paling awal yang berharap hamba-Nya melek literasi. Al Amin ﷺ adalah generasi 'ummi dari kota tua di lembah Bakkah, namun Jibril عليه السلام justru membawa kata pertama Iqra'. Coba kita liarkan sedikit imaji kita di dalam kegelapan gua, yang Nabi ﷺ gemetar oleh suara Jibril. Jangankan membaca buku, buku-buku jari saja tak nampak, pekat. Lalu Allah berfirman, "Iqra'!" Saya yakin pembaca pasti kritis, "kan, ada Jibril yang bercahaya." Oke, tapi biarkan semua pertanyaan yang terlintas tentang kata pertama untuk tafakur nanti. Karena ada kata yang lebih mengena lagi yang dibacakan oleh Penghulu Malaikat saat itu. Yaitu "Yang mengajarkan (manusia) dengan Pena." Nah, jadi mana yang pertama? Baca dulu atau tulis dulu?! Bagi kita para pembelajar @nulisyuk, tentu yang pertama adalah tulis saja dulu. Ya, kan?! Lalu baca lagi, karena Allah akan mengajar manusia apa yang tidak dia ketahui. Kemudian tulis kembali, dengan pemahaman yang kita dapatkan. Baca ulang, agar Allah menurunkan petunjuk. Tulis ulang, baca-tulis-baca-tulis, sampai kita menjumpai hal yang paling meyakinkan. Yaitu kematian. Hingga saat tiba waktunya kita membaca karya kita nanti, Malaikat mengulurkannya lewat tangan kanan. Bukan di telapak tangan kiri yang terpaksa atau bahkan kita membelakanginya. Sembari berkata, “Betapa celaka kami, kitab apakah ini, tidak ada yang tertinggal, yang kecil dan yang besar melainkan tercatat semuanya.” Begitulah seharusnya kita menulis, jujur oleh gerakan hati. Saya adalah contoh dari jutaan manusia yang pernah bercita-cita untuk hidup dari tulisan. Beroleh bayaran dari coretan pena. Bahkan sempat ikut lomba menulis cerita anak, dengan hadiah kursus kepenulisan. Alhamdulillah, di dalam kemenangan pertama itu Saya tidak menerima uang. Meskipun Saya baru menyadarinya akhir-akhir ini. Janganlah, menulis untuk cari duit dan ketenaran. Seolah-olah Allah telah berbisik seperti itu ketika merobohkan niat Saya untuk menulis waktu yang dulu. Semoga, ketika sekarang kembali menulis bersama #nulisyukbatch6 sudah punya niat kuat yang berbeda. Hanya sebagai wujud rasa syukur atas pembelajaran Tuhan di dunia. Yuk Nulis, karena kita sudah banyak membaca ayat-ayat Allah di keseluruhan hidup kita. Aamiin.

Hakim records on the authority of Jabir that the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said that Jibril said, “A servant worshipped Allah on the top of a mountain, in the middle of an ocean, for five hundred years. Then he asked his Lord to let him die in the state of prostration. We used to pass by him each time we would descend and ascend and we would find written in the (pre-eternal knowledge) that he would be resurrected on the Day of Judgment and would stand before Allah, Mighty and Magnificent. The Lord would say, ‘Enter My servant into Paradise by virtue of My mercy.’ The servant will say, ‘My Lord, rather by virtue of my deeds!’ This will happen three times, then Allah will say to His angels, ‘Weigh my favours against his deeds,’ and they will find that the blessing of sight alone takes up all the deeds he did during his five hundred years of worship, with the other bodily blessings still remaining. He will say, ‘Enter My servant into the Fire!’ He will be dragged towards the Fire and will cry out, ‘Enter me into Paradise by virtue of Your mercy! Enter me into Paradise by virtue of Your mercy!’ Thereupon he shall enter Paradise.” Jibril went on to say, “Muhammad, things only happen by the mercy of Allah.” [Hakim #7637]

15: The Seal of the Wisdom of Prophethood in the Word of 'Isa (Jesus) He was manifested from the water of Maryam and the breath of Jibril in the form of man existing from clay. The spirit was in an essence purified of nature which it called prison. For that reason, the spirit stayed in it for more a thousand years in the designation of time. (1) A spirit from Allah, no other. For that reason, he revived the dead and formed the bird from clay. Since his relation with his Lord is proven, by it he has effective action in both the higher and lower worlds. Allah purified his body, and made his spirit pure, and He made him a model of taking-form.

Know that among the special qualities of the spirits (arwah) is whenever they touch anything life flows into it. This is why the Samiri (2) seized a handful of dust from the track of the messenger, who was Jibril, and he is the Spirit. The Samiri had knowledge of this matter. When he recognised that it was Jibril, he knew that life would flow into whatever he had walked on, so he took a handful of dust (3) from the track of the messenger or he filled his hand or the ends of his fingers, (4) and threw it into the Calf. The Calf made a noise like the sound of a cow mooing. If it had been in another form, the name of that form's sound would have been ascribed to it - as grumbling to the camel, baa-ing to rams, bleating to sheep, and voice or articulation and speech to man. That power from the life which flows in things is called lâhût. The nâsût is the locus on which the spirit is based. The nâsût may be called a spirit by what is based on it.

Isa brought the dead to life because he is the Divine Spirit, and bringing to life belongs to Allah. The breath which 'Isa has is like the breath which Jibril has. The word belongs to Allah. The bringing the dead to life by 'Isa is an actual revival inasmuch as it was manifested from his breath as he was manifested from the form of his mother. His bringing to life is also imagined to be from him, but it actually belongs to Allah. He joined the two by the reality on which he is based even as we said that he is created from imaginary water and actual water. Bringing-to-life is ascribed to him by means of actualisation in one aspect, and by imagination in another aspect. In respect to actualisation, it is said of him that he brings the dead to life. In respect to imagination (tawahhum), it is said that he breathes into it and it becomes a bird by the leave of Allah. (7) The agent is in the prepositional phrase "by Allah's permission", even though He did not breathe into it. It is also possible that the agent is the one who breathes into it. It became a bird as regards physical form. In the same way, 'Isa healed the blind and the lepers.

When he brought the dead to life, it was said that it was him and not him. The onlookers fell into bewilderment (hayra) just as the man of intellect becomes bewildered in his logical reflection when he sees an individual human being bringing the dead to life, as that is one of the divine qualities - bringing to life with speech, not mere bringing with animation. (12) The beholder is bewildered because he sees the form of a man who possesses a divine effect. That led some of them to speak of that as "incarnation" and say that 'Isa was Allah since it was by Him that 'Isa brought the dead to life. Thus they are charged with disbelief (kufr) which is the veil because they veil Allah, who brings the dead to life, by the human form of 'Isa. Allah said, "They are unbelievers who say, 'Allah is the Messiah, the son of Maryam.'" (13) They fell into both error and disbelief at the end of all they said, not because they say that he is Allah nor by calling him the son of Maryam. But they made the attribution that Allah, insofar as He brought the dead to life, was contained in the human form of the nasut which is called the son of Maryam. There is no doubt that 'Isa was the son of Maryam. The hearer imagines that they have attributed divinity to the form, and so they make divinity the same as the form. That is not what they do. Rather, they make divine He-ness the subject in the human form which is the son of Maryam. They should differentiate between the form of 'Isa and the divine principle because they have made the form the same as the principle. Jibril was in the form of man who did not breathe and then he breathed. One differentiates between the form and the breath, and the breath from the form. The form existed without the breath - thus the breath is not part of its essential definition. For that reason, differences occurred among the people of different [Christian] parties regarding 'Isa and what he was. Whoever looks at him in respect to his mortal human form, says that he is the son of Maryam. Whoever looks at him in respect to his mortal representational form relates him to Jibril. Whoever looks at him in respect to what was manifested from him of bringing the dead to life, relates him to Allah by the quality of the spirit, and says that he is the Spirit of Allah, (14) that is, by Him life was manifested in whomever received his breath. Sometimes Allah is imagined to be the passive principle in 'Isa, and sometimes the angel is imagined in him, and sometimes mortal humanity is imagined in him. So the conception of everyone is based on what predominates that person. 'Isa is the Word of Allah, (15) the Spirit of Allah, (16) and the slave of Allah. (17) That is something which no one else has in the sensory form. Indeed, each person is attached to his father of form, not to the One who breathed his spirit into the human form. When Allah fashioned the human body as He said, "When I have shaped him," (15:29;38:72) then He breathed into Him, that was from His spirit. Thus in its being and source, the spirit is ascribed to Allah. That is not the case with 'Isa. The shaping of his body and mortal form is implied in the breath of the spirit. Others, as we mentioned, are not like that.

There is nothing in this world as wonderful as the unknown!
