- Angels in your Presence #8In Episode #8, our humble Imam informs us of the role the angel plays concerning our character.The greatest test of good character is how a person of best character deals with the person of the lowest of character.The prophet s.a.w was once insulted by a man while the prophet s.a.w. was sitting with Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr witnessed those insults and when the prophet s.a.w responded with patience, Abu Bakr responded. The instant he did so the prophet s.a.w. leaves. Abu Bakr worried the prophet s.a.w. was upset with him. The prophet s.a.w. replied that when the man was insulting the prophet s.a.w. Allah sent down an angel to respond to those the insults. As soon as Abu Bakr jumped in and responded, the angel left and a shayateen came down and sat in the place of the angel, thus egging on the discord. The prophet s.a.w. did not want to be in the presence of the devil.The prophet s.a.w said that strength is not in how you overcome another person. Rather strength is in how you overcome yourself – i.e. the one who owns himself in times of rage, unlike others who spew words in fits of anger.What is our beloved prophet s.a.w. teaching us here? Please listen to the end of this five minute message to learn the secret to elevating yourself in the sight of your Creator.5 min
