- Angels in your Presence #30This is final episode 30 in the Angel series of Ramadhan 2020.When Allah loves someone Allah calls to Jibri’il and informs Jibri’il that He loves this servant and He instructs Jibri’il to love that servant and Jibri’il will inform all the angels that Allah loves this servant and all the angels will now love this servant too and love is then placed in the hearts of men for that servant of Allah s.w.t..There are a few things to keep in mind in relation to the above:-The love of Allah s.w.t is the only love one should seek unconditionally. If you gain the love of Allah, it follows that Jibri’il will love you, the angels will love you and the people whose love is worth having will love you.Next, when you are beloved to Allah s.w.t., Allah will then put that love in the hearts of other men who are beloved to Allah, and you will be loved by righteous people for your righteousness.Thus, henceforth do all you can to seek and attain the love of the only one that matters -your Creator and Sustainer.5 min

- Angels in your Presence #28This is episode 28 in the Angel series of Ramadhan 2020.This is a unique time for Muslims globally. A time when the masajids are closed and we are relegated to perform our salah in our homes.So now what? Well, turn your home into a place of prayer, of barakah, of blessing which is inviting to the mala’ikah and shunned by the shayateen naturally.Invite the mala’ikah into your homes where Allah is worshipped often through the performance of your salah and recitation of the quran. When you pray, in actuality you are surrounded by the angels sent by Allah; an angel will pray to your right, to your left, behind you; angels the size of mountains they are.Thus take comfort knowing that notwithstanding the closure of the masajid, the angels are not barred from you.6 min
