Omar Suleiman episodes
- Angels in your Presence #2In Episode #2, our respected Imam Omar Suleiman introduces the two angels, Raqib and Atid. Whatever we do or say is recorded by either of the angels on our right and left. When a sin is committed the angel on the left is to record it. However, did you know that the angel does not record it the instant it is committed?No. Rather the angel is instructed by Allah s.w.t. to hold back, hold off the recording for a certain time. How long is that time? And why is the time prescribed? What is the effect of this holding off?These answers lie towards the end of this 5 minute episode.6 min
