Heavenly Jewels

Jibrael happened to be the teacher of the Holy Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). A llah reveals "He [the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)] was taught by the possessor of strong forces and a Mighty person" (Jibrael)". Angel Jibrael (upon whom be peace) happens to be the perfect exhibitor of the grandeurs of Divinity. He is competing in all respects according to the standards of strength of body, of wisdom and of sight. He was the bearer of the burden of the revelation of Allah. He is able to reach within a flinch of the eye up to Sidra-tul-muntaha (the stop of ascent in the seventh heaven). He has so much wisdom and insight of faith that he managed to descend with the revelation of Allah and with full honesty carried out his duty. Under such circumstances how can he be a pupil of anybody? In which case his teacher would have been the grand teacher of the Holy Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). It is he (Jibrael) whom Allah the Almighty has referred to as the gracious messenger and honest resident. It means that he is the most honourable in the presence of the most Exalted Possessor of the divine Throne. He is the leader of all the supreme angels. All the angels happen to be his subordinates and obedient. He was the trustee of the revelation of Allah and none can question about his trust and his performance of the duty of conveyance of message, which was free from any possibility of a mistake whatsoever. We cannot accuse him of any lethargy or negligence. He was capable to carry out his duty as a messenger. He was a perfect guard of the divine secrets and lights. He enjoys the highest rank among the angels and is the most favourite, dignified and respectable. Except the Holy Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), Hazraat Jibrael (upon whom be peace) did not serve anybody. According to a tradition he led the troops of angels who participated in the Battle of Badar and fought as a soldier in the army of the Holy Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). If the great companions and dignified saints have a chance of his service then they should regard it to be a great honour and pride because in that case they would be regarded to be the se:vants of the Holy Prophet (may Allah bless 62
