Surah 77: Al-Mursalat: Those (Angels) Sent Forth

Miracle photograph taken July 16, 1995 showing a few Angels Sent Forth seen looking upwards around top left-hand corner. (There is a loss of quality in transfer but this is the best image possible at the moment. More angels are visible on the original, especially on the right top corner.)

"Angels are unseen creatures of light created by Allah to act as intermediaries between Him and the visible world. The Islamic concepts of creation, revelation, prophecy, events that occur in the world, worship, the spiritual life, death, resurrection, and the central position of man in the cosmos cannot be understood without reference to the angels.

Belief in angels is one of the six pillars of belief or faith without which there is no faith. Angels are a part of the world of the Unseen which we cannot comprehend. Allah has told us about them in many places in the Qur'an and via His Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

Although we cannot see angels, Allah may show them to some humans. ... Angels are assigned certain functions. These functions include delivering the revelation from Allah to whomever He wishes among His prophets." www.islamonline.net/

Al-Mursalat: Those (Angels) Sent Forth

1. By the (Winds) Sent Forth (5863) one after another (to man's profit); (5864)
2. Which then blow violently in tempestuous Gusts (5865)
3. And scatter (things) far and wide;
4. Then separate them one from another
5. Then spread abroad a Message (5866)
6. Whether of Justification or of Warning
7. Assuredly what ye are promised must come to pass.
8. Then when the stars become dim;
9. When the heaven is cleft asunder;
10. When the mountains are scattered (to the winds) as dust;
11. And when the apostles are (all) appointed a time (to collect)
12. For what Day are these (Portents) deferred?
13. For the Day of Sorting out.
14. And what will explain to thee what is the Day of Sorting out?
15. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
16. Did We not destroy the men of old (for their evil)?
17. So shall We make later (generations) follow them.
18. Thus do We deal with men of sin.
19. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
20. Have We not created you from a fluid (held) despicable?
21. The which We placed in a place of rest firmly fixed.
22. For a period (of gestation) determined (according to need)?
23. For We do determine (according to need); for We are the Best to determine (things)!
24. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
25. Have We not made the earth (as a place) to draw together
26. The living and the dead
27. And made therein mountains standing firm lofty (in stature); and provided for you water sweet (and wholesome)?
28. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
29. (It will be said:) "Depart ye to that which ye used to reject as false!
30. "Depart ye to a Shadow (of smoke ascending) in three columns
31. "(Which yields) no shade of coolness and is of no use against the fierce Blaze.
32. "Indeed it throws about sparks (huge) as Forts
33. "As if there were (a string of) yellow camels (marching swiftly)."
34. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
35. That will be a Day when they shall not be able to speak
36. Nor will it be open to them to put forth pleas.
37. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
38. That will be a Day of Sorting out! We shall Gather you together and those before (you)!
39. Now if ye have a trick (or plot) use it against Me!
40. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
41. As to the Righteous they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water).
42. And (they shall have) fruits all they desire.
43. "Eat ye and drink ye to your heart's content: for that ye worked (Righteousness)."
44. Thus do We certainly reward the Doers of Good.
45. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
46. (O ye Unjust!) Eat ye and enjoy yourselves (but) a little while for that ye are Sinners.
47. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of Truth!
48. And when it is said to them "Prostrate yourselves!" They do not so.
49. Ah woe that Day to the Rejecters of truth!
50. Then what Message after that will they believe in?

surah 77:1-50 Al Mursalat (Those Sent Forth)
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989.)

5863. This surah begins with an appeal to five things, as pointing to the substantive statements in verse 7, that the Day of Justice and Judgement is bound to come, and we must prepare for it. It is difficult to translate, but easy to understand, if we remember that a triple thread of allegory runs through this passage (verses 1-7.) The five things or phases, which will be presently considered in detail, refers to (a) Winds in the Physical world, (b) Angels in the spiritual world, and (c) Prophets in the human world, connecting it with the spiritual world.

5864. Understanding the reference to Winds, we can see that they are powerful factors in the government of the physical world.

5865. If we understand the reference to be, not to Winds, but to Angels, they are agencies in the spiritual world, which carry out similar functions, changing and revolutionising the face of the world. (1) They come softly, on beneficent errands of Mercy: (2) they are charged with the mission of punishment and destruction for sin as in the case of two angels who came to Lut (15:57-66); (3) they distribute Allah's Mercies as the Winds distribute good seeds; (4) they sort out good from the evil among men; and (5) they are the agency through which Allah's Messages and Revelations are conveyed to the Prophets (see No. 5 in the last note.)

5866. If we understand the reference to Prophets or Messengers of Allah, or the verses of Revelation which would be particularly appropriate for verses 5-6, we also get a satisfactory solution of the Allegory. (1) The Prophets have followed one another in a series: the verses of the Qur'an came, one after another as needed; in both cases it was for man's spiritual profit; (2) they caused great disturbance in a spiritually decadent world; they pulled down evil institutions root and branch, and substituted new ones; (3) they proclaimed their truths far and wide, without fear and without favour; (4) through them were sorted out men of Faith and rebels against Allah's Law; and (5) they gave a Message, through which just men were justified through repentance, and evil men were warned of their sins.

Some Commentators take one or other of these allegories, and some apply one allegory to a few of the verses, and another to a few. In my opinion the Allegory is wide enough to comprehend all the meanings which I have sketched. I wish a translation could do justice to those marvelously terse sentences in the original."

Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989, p. 1578.)

Abdullah Yusuf Ali and his forty theologians mutilate a future prophecy of Divine intervention into a disfigured past of sirocco winds, questionable angels and dead prophets, all somehow working together to remind humans of the spiritual world. No evidence is necessary since ignorance being bliss, just a tiny morsel of truth wrapped around layers of falsehood fillings is food for the faithful.

The lies are clear to some just as they are oblivious to the majority. Take for instance the explicit warning that a great calamity is about to befall humankind, and that is why the Message to commence the Resurrection is being issued to all:

12. For what Day are these (Portents) deferred?
13. For the Day of Sorting out.

Portend 1 something that portends an event about to occur. esp. an unfortunate event; omen.

Webster New World Dictionary
(Webster New World Dictionary, Third College Ed., Simon & Schuster, 1988.)

The above are two distinct and different periods, one preceding and warning about the other. The Night of Power and Fate (Al Qadr) precedes and warns about Day of Noise and Clamour (Al Qariah). Despite such clear-cut verses the Ummah continue to wait for the world to end suddenly, a cold-hearted and callous act by Allah devoid of mercy and chance to repent. This deceit is surely the work of Satan who promised Allah that he will mislead humans. And he has succeeded brilliantly as hundreds of millions will not believe that Allah in His Mercy has sent messengers to proclaim the Night of Power and Fate, the Day that defers the portents of the calamitous End or Day of Sorting out. So be forewarned, unbelievers, be forewarned!

Laylatul Qadr is a celebration to commemorate the arrival of the final guidance for humans. It is a tribute to the commencement of the message revealed to mankind by their Creator, a message which shows them the way to achieve happiness in both the worlds. Just as the arrival of a child is celebrated, on its birth and then every year, as a bringer of joy and fulfilment for the family, Laylatul Qadr is celebrated as a bringer of light and guidance for mankind. Unlike the birthday which is celebrated with a feast for the senses, Laylatul Qadr includes a feast for the spirit, a feast of worship and prayers.

But nothing of the above is offered by Muslim scholars. Instead the Ummah is offered respite that if sirocco winds delivering Allah's messages don't make sense, then they should just disregard it and instead speculate them as angels who "are agencies in the spiritual world, which carry out similar functions, changing and revolutionising the face of the world. (1) They come softly, on beneficent errands of Mercy: (2) they are charged with the mission of punishment and destruction for sin as in the case of two angels who came to Lut (15:57-66); (3) they distribute Allah's Mercies as the Winds distribute good seeds; (4) they sort out good from the evil among men; and (5) they are the agency through which Allah's Messages and Revelations are conveyed to the Prophets."

And if all this still doesn't make any sense, then all the Ummah has to do is to put their heads into the sand and just try to "understand the reference to Prophets or Messengers of Allah, or the verses of Revelation which . . . "

Century after century Islamic scholars found it difficult to explain mystical issues beyond their comprehension. Even the most enlightened of Muslim minds were perplexed by the diverse complexity of this verse:

Why the Announcement (An-Naba) of both Salvation (Night of Power) and Retribution (Day of Noise and Clamor)?
How will the Angels spread this Message of Mercy if the Resurrection is sudden death? (unless it is the Night of Power prior to the Day of Noise and Clamor)
Who are these prophets that will come for humankind's spiritual profit?
How will they cause a "great disturbance in a spiritually decadent world"?
How will they pull "down evil institutions root and branch," and substitute new ones?
What Truth will be proclaimed "far and wide, without fear and without favour"?
How will they sort "out men of Faith and rebels against Allah's Law"?
So "they gave a Message, through which just men were justified through repentance, and evil men were warned of their sins." Who are the Messengers and what is the Message?

The end result is that the interpretations confuse even more, rather than enlighten, the illiterate masses with their smoke and mirrors reasoning.

It is only with the advent of His Ruh Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi on Earth and the events leading to the announcement of Qiyamah that is it possible to understand these precise conditions of fulfilled prophecy:

1. Winds in the physical world,
2. Angels from the spiritual world;
3. Messengers fearlessly spreading God Almighty's Message far and wide to many nations.

All these three specific circumstances were met simultaneously between July 14-16, 1995, at Guru Puja, Camp Talooli, Syracuse, USA. Every Sahaja Yogi present bears testimony to this Truth, even though they never saw any Angels with their physical eyes.

We will do justice for Abdullah Yusuf Ali and his forty theologians wish that "a translation could do justice to those marvelously terse sentences in the original." The ulema had absolutely no answers because this was a Divine Event that had not even manifested itself. Put simple, this verse referred explicitly to a prophecy that had yet to take place! The entire Islamic world is now called to bear testimony to this Revelation in the next paragraphs and confirm with their eyes if it is indeed the Truth.

Lightning and thunder blasting Earth.

1. Winds in the physical world,

The only natural phenomenon before this Guru Puja as the Angles arrived was the awesome display of Nature - violent winds, lightning crackling and thunder bursting all around the surrounding areas throughout Friday night on July 14, 1995. Furious winds cut off power supply to that area. Throughout the night streaks of awesome thunderbolts and distant thunderclaps continuously blasted the surrounding area till dawn.

Kash's father stayed awake until early dawn to watch this majestic nocturnal masterpiece. It was the first time in his life such a massive display of the forces of nature were seen in full fury, rare even in monsoon Malaysia, his country of birth. For some reason there was much lightning, as if the negativity of the entire area was being burnt off before the arrival of the Celestial Beings. Unknown to all, the Qur'anic prophecy of Those That Are Sent Forth was being fulfilled, right down to the precise weather conditions!

Islamic scholars interpret surah 77:1-7 as that of Angels descending during violent weather and these exacting conditions have been met. The lightning, thunder and violent winds that thrashed the area around Camp Talooli, Syracuse, USA on Friday 14, 1995, is proof that this prophecy has been fulfilled down to the minutest detail.

2. Angels from the spiritual world;

The next day Allah's Angels (Those Sent Forth) descended to attend the sacred ceremony performed by the Sahaja Yogis in honor of Allah's Ruh, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, who has proclaimed that it is Resurrection Time. This descending of Allah's angels to bear witness, absolutely beyond the manipulation of any mortal, thus fulfils yet another prophecy of the Qur'an that plugs all loopholes for the Unbelievers (Al-Kafirun) to deny Allah's Revelations and the Sure Signs (Bayyinat) of Qiyamah.

On July 16, 1995, at about 1:00 p.m. a single photograph above was taken by Kash(winder)'s father of the altar at the Guru Puja held at Camp Talooli, Syracuse, USA for remembrance. When developed it showed three signs related to Christianity, Islam and Hinduism:

1. Angels (Christianity and Islam)
2. Man-Child (Christianity)
3. Flame In Modaka (Hinduism)

The is also light reflected off Her right thumb but will be discounted as it is probably a reflection of the candle flame.

The photograph was taken about half hour after the Puja was over. None of the 250 or so Sahaja Yogis present saw any of the Angels who were sitting right before their eyes and witnessing the entire Guru Puja!

This is all the more remarkable since the whole ceremony took a few hours, and these Angels were present all the time. At least some SY must have noticed them sitting and meditating, or is it that humans do not have the eyes to see these Spirit Beings? The photograph shows the last few angels rising up to depart, just as the Sahaja Yogis were leaving for home after lunch. Their number is unknown, as only a few are visible against the darker background.

And the miracle photograph is irrefutable evidence to all humankind that God Almighty's Angels were sent forth, and paid homage to the image of His Holy Spirit, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. It is She who has been chosen by God Almighty to deliver the Great News to all humankind.

Concerning what are they disputing?
Concerning the Great News [588] about which they cannot agree.
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!

surah 78:1-5 Al Naba' (The Great News)

"5889. Great News: Usually understood to mean the News or Message of the Resurrection or the Hereafter."

Abdullah Yusuf Ali, surah 78:1-5 Al Naba (The Great News)
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989.)

Whereof do they question one another?
(It is) of the Awful Tidings concerning which they are in disagreement.
Nay, but they will come to know!
Nay, again, but they will come to know!

Mohammed Pickthall, surah 78:1-5 Al-Naba'
(M. Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Quran)

Of what do they ask one another?
About the Great Event about which they differ?
Nay! they shall soon come to know.
Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.

Muhammed Shakir, surah 78:1-5 Al Naba'
(Muhammed Shakir, The Holy Qur'an, U. of Michigan.)

The Ummah is waiting for Doomsday which they have been made to believe is the Day of Resurrection. Yet they say that the announcement of this Good News is "usually understood to mean the News or Message of the Resurrection . . ."

So how on earth is it possible to spread the Good News of Resurrection all over the world if it's already the dreadful Doomsday? Moreover, what is the point of this absolutely useless undertaking if the world in coming to an end? Has there been even a single instance over the last 1400 years of anyone spreading the Good News of the Resurrection? Will just a single Muslim provide a logical answer?

Islam ascribes great importance to angels (mala'ika in Arabic), who are believed to be unseen creatures created by God to serve him on special missions. So will Muslims deny His Ruh, His Angels, and His messengers on Earth spreading His Announcement (An-Naba) of Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection) and the Last Judgment?

They surely will! The Great News will be universally disputed and there is going to be a massive denial by all religious regimes and their human herd. The greatest hypocrites will be the Ummah who, despite revering their Holy Qur'an and surrendering unconditionally to its commands, will defy the very Good News of Qiyamah it delivers.

But for the Believers who humble and surrender to the Great News of the Resurrection and Last Judgment a spiritual afterlife of indescribable beauty and eternity awaits.

Say: "I know not whether the (Punishment) which ye are promised is near, ⁵⁷⁴⁸ or whether my Lord will appoint for it a distant term.
He (alone) knows the Unseen, nor does He make anyone acquainted with His Mysteries - ⁵⁷⁴⁹Except a messenger⁵⁷⁵⁰ whom He has chosen:
And then he makes a band of watchers⁵⁷⁵¹ march before him and behind him,
That He may know that they have (truly)^5751-A brought and delivered the Messages of their Lord:
And He surrounds (all the mysteries) that are with them, and He takes account of every single thing."⁵⁷⁵³

surah 72:25-28 Al Jinn (The Spirits)
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, Amana Corporation, 1989.)

"5748. The coming of Judgement is certain. But the exact time, relatively to our standards on this earth, no one can tell. Allah alone knows it. Even a Prophet of Allah, as such, does not know the Mysteries of the Unseen World, except insofar as they have been revealed to him by Allah's Revelation.

5749. Mystery, or the Unseen, has two aspects. The relative Unseen is so with reference to a particular person, because of the intervention of Time, Space, or particular circumstances. For example, I cannot see today a house which I saw last year, because it has since been pulled down; or I cannot in Lahore see the "Gateway to India" in Bombay, although anyone in Bombay can see it; or I cannot see the satellites of Jupiter with the naked eye, though I can through a telescope; but the Absolute Unseen, the Absolute Mystery, or Allah's Mystery, is something which no creature can know or see, except insofar as Allah reveals it to him; and Allah reveals such things to the extent that is good for men, through His chosen messengers . . .

5750. Cf. 3:179 and n. 482.

Allah will not leave the Believers in the state in which ye are now, until He separates what is evil from what is good.
Nor will Allah disclose to you the secrets of the Unseen, ⁴⁸²
But He chooses of His Messengers (for that purpose) whom He pleases.
So believe in Allah and His Messengers; And if ye believe and do right, ye have a reward without measure.

surah 3:179 Ali 'Imran (The Family of 'Imran)

"482. Man in his weak state would be most miserable if he could see the secrets of the future or the secrets of the Unseen. But things are revealed to him from time to time as may be expedient for him, by Messengers chosen for the purpose."

5751. Revelation is not a mechanical or material thing. It has to be safeguarded from being distorted or corrupted by ignorance, selfishness, or the powers of evil. How can its precious and subtle worth and the spiritual safeguards against its misuse by human folly or the perversity of evil be expressed in plain human words? We can imagine a very great treasure, which has to be transmitted. To guard it against evilly-disposed persons, a strong escort is required, to march in front and behind, so as to protect it from all sides. When it reaches its destination, the escort presents its credentials and an Invoice showing the Treasure being transmitted. Then the destined receiver knows that it has come intact and feels satisfied. So, about spiritual Revelation, the spiritual man recognises the credentials and checks the contents on the tablets of his own heart and insight. He has then no doubt that it is a true Message from Allah, and those who bring it are the true messengers "of their Lord."

5751-A. They: the band of watchers."

"The Truth is you have to become a Realized soul, and if you are not a Realized soul you are nowhere near God. You have to enter into the Kingdom of God. Christ Himself has said that you have to enter into the Kingdom of God. You are to be born again . . .

Mohammed Sahib Himself has said, "When the Time of Qiyamah will come, your hands will speak, . . .

But nobody is trying to find the Qiyamah. Only they are finding fault with this, or that, and fighting with each other."

"I met a Russian who asked Me why the U.N. was helping the Muslims in Bosnia. . . . I was shocked at his perception of Muslims. I have such respect for so many of them. I wish they could accept that this is not Jihad time anymore but Qiyamah time, the Resurrection Time, the Blossom time. Are they going to miss it?

Both things are wrong; one has to understand that all these religions were born on the same tree of spirituality and that people have plucked the flowers and are fighting with these dead flowers. Of course there are some absurd things which grew with misinterpretation and interference from unholy people, which are common in these religions.

For example, Jews, Christian and Muslims believe that when they die their bodies will come out of their graves and they will all be resurrected at the Time of Resurrection, at the Time of Last Judgment, at the Time of Qiyamah.

It is illogical to think what will remain inside those graves after five hundred years. Nobody wants to think and understand that it is not the body but the soul that will come out of these bodies, be born again as human beings, and be saved through Qiyamah and Resurrection.

Who will tell them? No one can talk to them. As soon as one wants to talk one can be killed. This is the only way they know - how to kill."

"God Himself is capable of all kinds of miracles. We who are created by God are doing some things, which look miraculous . . . but these miracles come from the Power of God. So we are the creation of that wee bit, very wee bit, of that miracle. So all the miracles of God cannot be explained and should not be explained. They are beyond our mind and to make people feel the presence of God, God can do anything. He can move into all the dimensions and also into the Fourth Dimension. He can do whatever He feels like . . .

We are to believe now, after seeing all these things for ourselves, that He is God, that He can do anything that He feels like, and we are nothing. We are nothing. There should be no rationality about it, of understanding God's miracles. How can it be? How could it be? You can't explain.

Only when you achieve that state of mind where you believe through your experiences that God is All Powerful. It's very difficult. This concept is very difficult because we are limited people. We have limited powers. We cannot understand how God could be All Powerful because we, we haven't got the capacity.

So this God who is our Creator, who is our Preserver, the One who desires that we should exist, which is our existence itself, is an All Powerful God. All Powerful! He can do whatever He likes. He can create another world, He can destroy this world. It's only if He has to desire."

"The heavens and the earth include mankind and all other creatures and millions of stars. Man is himself but a tiny part of creation. Why should he be so egocentric? The whole is greater than a tiny part of it. And Allah who created the whole of the Worlds is able to do much more wonderful things than can enter the imagination of man. Why should man be arrogant and doubt the Resurrection, and take upon himself to doubt the possibility of Allah's Revelation? It is only because he has made himself blind."

Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an
(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989, p. 1220.)

"There are profound mysteries which the knowledge of men cannot fathom but which are open knowledge to Allah, because He plans, guides and controls all things. The precise time of the Hour of Judgement is one of these. We are not to dispute about matters like these, which are matters of speculation as far as human intelligence is concerned. . . . When the final restoration of good values comes, all falsehood will be exposed openly and publicly."

12. For what Day are these (Portents) deferred?

The Day of Noise and Clamour (Al Qariah) is deferred to allow the Believers surrender to the Great News of the Resurrection during the Night of Power and Fate (Al Qadr). Allah Almighty has never destroyed without first issuing a warning of dire consequences and impending doom. May those deceived by Satan be reminded of His Boundless Mercy!

Again be forewarned, Unbelievers (Al-Kafirun), yet again be forewarned!

In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
[78.1] What do they question each other about!
[78.2] About the Great News
