8/25/2023 0 Comments 7th heaven houseThis was another wonder that Prophet Muhammad was privileged to see and made able to describe to us. Seventy thousand angels every day! What are the implications of this? Think about it and wonder for how many thousands or even millions of years has this been happening? How many of these beings, created by God from light, are there? Prophet Muhammad informed us that, once the angels have visited al Bayt al-Mamoor, they never return. It is fitting that Prophet Abraham was here with this house, as it is the heavenly equivalent of the Ka’bah in Makkah.Įach year at the time of pilgrimage (Hajj), more than 2 million Muslims from all over the world flock to Makkah to follow in the footsteps of Prophet Abraham and perform certain rites including circling the Ka’bah.Įvery day 70,000 angels visit this much-frequented house in the seventh heaven to worship God. While in the seventh heaven, Prophet Muhammad was shown the building known as the much-frequented house, or al Bayt al-Mamoor in Arabic. Muslims turn their faces towards the Ka’bah many times every day whilst performing their prayers, and in every prayer, they ask God to bless Abraham and his family. Verily! You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. Together, Abraham and his son Ishmael built the Ka’bah (the black cubical building in the middle of the Holy Masjid in Makkah).Īnd remember when Abraham and Ishmael were raising the foundations of the House, saying, Our Lord! Accept this from us. Muslims are required to believe in all of the Prophets of God Abraham, however, holds a special place as one of the important messengers of God and has the unique honor of being called, in both Islamic and Christian (Isaiah 41: 8) traditions, the beloved servant of God. Why do you dispute about Abraham, while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Have you then no sense? Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true Muslim (submitting to God) Hanif (in truth and sincerity). However, Islam rejects this idea, for the Quran clearly states that he was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but a believer in pure monotheism (belief in one God). In Jewish traditions, Abraham is called the father of the Jews. Through his son, Ishmael, Abraham is the father of the Arabs and the ancestor of Prophet Muhammad he is an ancestor of the people who became the Children of Israel (followers of Prophet Moses) through his son Isaac. In Islam, the seventh heaven is where Prophet Muhammad met Prophet Abraham and indeed, he (Muhammad) must have been extremely happy and in a state of bliss, having been honored with this journey of wonders.īoth Prophets exchanged greetings by saying Assalamu alaikum (may peace be upon you) and, as every other Prophet had done, Prophet Abraham expressed his belief and faith in Prophet Muhammad’s mission. The seventh heaven is an expression used by Christians to denote extreme happiness or bliss, as in “I am in the seventh heaven”.
