Tradition 21
Angels with Feathers

 

We continued on our path until we reached to the end of the seventh heaven. It was there at the end of the heaven that we witnessed the Throne of Allah . Here I saw an Angel who was glorifying Allah  such:

 

 

"Wherever I may be, glory is to my Lord. I do not know where your Lord is due to His great status. "

 

This Angel had two wings such that if they were to spread open, it would cover the east to the west of the Universe. Every morning he would open up his wings, rest against something and cry out such:

 

 

"Glory be to Allah, the King, the Holy. Glory be to Allah, the Great, the Most High. There is no god except Allah, the Living and Self­ Subsisting. "

 

Whenever the Angel would say this tasbih, all the peacocks that are on the Earth would start to praise Allah  and open their wings up in respect (of Allah ).

 

Whenever this Angel in the heaven would become quiet, the peacocks on the Earth would become quiet. The Angel in the heaven had green hair and white wings ‑ so white that no one has ever seen anything that white before. Under its green hair, there are white wings which are very beautiful ‑ the green which until now has never been seen before."
